Arc Raiders Cheating Outcry Intensifies as Embark Pledges Fixes

Embark says patches are coming soon following a holiday break.

Overview

  • Shroud labeled the situation a “waste of time,” threatened a break without quick changes, and briefly shifted to Tarkov as Ninja publicly pressed the developers.
  • Embark community manager Birdie told players the team is reviewing reports and that updates addressing issues are on the way.
  • Players and streamers shared clips of aimbots, wall-hacks, invincibility, out-of-bounds exploits, self-revives, and roof-through shots, with Stella Montis called out as a hotspot.
  • The studio’s aggression-based matchmaking may cluster highly aggressive players together, which some say helps explain why streamers report frequent cheaters while others rarely encounter them.
  • Ban policies and anti-cheat enforcement remain unclear, as Nadeshot urges legal action against cheat providers and claims of short suspensions have not been verified.
