- Embark community manager Birdie told players the team was on vacation and said updates are on the way, noting investigations into specific issues such as trigger nades, stitcher and kettle.
- Players and creators have reported aimbots, wall-hacks, god mode, out-of-bounds exploits and shots through geometry, with Stella Montis frequently cited as a hotspot.
- 100 Thieves’ Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag said the problem may be worse than peak Call of Duty and urged pursuing legal action against cheat providers and users.
