Developer Embark Studios continues its fight against the onslaught of cheaters in its hit third-person extraction shooter, ARC Raiders, as it begins permanently banning those who are caught cheating. Like many live-service titles, ARC Raiders has been inundated with cheaters following its hugely successful launch in October. But with some of the game's biggest streamers calling for Embark to make some big changes, it looks like the studio has now taken things to the next level.
ARC Raiders has been hugely successful for developer Embark Studios, but the fame always comes with its downside, as the game's sheer popularity has also attracted the attention of cheaters and hackers. Despite only being three months old, ARC Raiders has already been taken over by aimbotters, exploiters, and just about every type of cheater you can think of. Thankfully, the studio isn't turning a blind eye to the problem, as it recently issued a statement addressing the cheating issue in ARC Raiders. Embark says it is taking the matter extremely seriously and is currently in the process of implementing significant changes to its rulesets and deploying new detection mechanisms to identify and remove cheaters.
