Embark Studios drops the hammer on cheaters
Fans, players and big streamers have all been frustrated with a lot of hackers, cheaters and exploiters in ARC Raiders. This extraction shooter might be the best thing out there; however, cheaters are ruining the experience for everyone.
After spending the winter holidays, Embark Studios has started to drop the big hammers on these cheaters. The bans have started to roll out, with a serious warning issued by Embark. Letâs check out more details in this article.
ARC Raiders bans: 30-day suspension & permanent hardware ban
Embark Studios has officially begun to crack down on cheaters in ARC Raiders, with several players reporting bans for exploits, aimbots, ESP, and other infractions of the gameâs code of conduct.
Players have started to share screenshots of the temporary bans they have received in the game. The most common suspension lasts for 30 days.
Repeat offenders and users of multiple exploits can face harsher penalties, which also include hardware bans.
The move has been largely welcomed by the community, especially as worries emerged over respawn exploits and console command abuse, which allow players to rejoin the same rooms after death.
