ARC Raiders shows in a community post how they want to ensure better fair play. They explicitly state that there is more behind an automated message than one might expect.
How does the team approach this personally? The Anti-Cheat team of ARC Raiders explains in a community post from May 7, 2026, on arcraiders.com, that they want to be fairer in dealing with cheaters. The cheating and banning problem in ARC Raiders has been a sensitive issue for the creators of the game, as it has been criticized multiple times by the player community. This even went so far that outraged players pilgrimaged to the studio.
Now, however, the team explains: even though an automated message regarding banning issues gives a different impression, there is an employee behind every handling of these concerns who looks at the problem personally.
What other information does the Anti-Cheat team share about its processes? In addition to handling the appeals process regarding bans, the team discusses their anti-cheat system and the challenge of not accidentally banning accessibility aids.
Players who rely on these devices need to be able to play, and since official solutions are expensive, players often resort to lesser-known devices to achieve the same goal. Of course, these aids can also be abused for cheating in the wrong hands.
