The new extraction shooter ARC Raiders has been live for a few days and the first cheaters have been banned. Their victims receive a great message for this.
How is it going in ARC Raiders? A half week has passed since the launch of ARC Raiders, and the player numbers over the weekend are impressive. Over 350,000 players played the extraction shooter on Sunday, which brought the game to 5th place among the most played games on Steam (via SteamDB).
However, with many players come cheaters who want to gain an unfair advantage. The developers of ARC Raiders have come up with something special here.
Here are some tips for survival in ARC Raiders:
Not only punish cheaters
What have the developers come up with? The developers of ARC Raiders knew that they would also have cheaters in their game. Accordingly, they thought about how to keep the game enjoyable.
Therefore, in ARC Raiders, not only the cheaters will be punished, but also the victims compensated. As a post on Reddit shows, victims of cheaters receive a letter in the game after the cheater is banned. This letter states that the system recognized that there was cheating or unfair play, and therefore their loadout from the round will be returned.
Thus, players whose round was ruined by a cheater receive compensation.
How do players react to the system? On Reddit, some fans discuss the system. The majority is pleased that the developers not only lock out cheaters but also compensate the victims. Users on Reddit write:
- Budget-Pair-9442: “I also got my stuff refunded. The people at Embark are great.”
- Sufficient_Steak_839: “These developers are absolutely top-notch. Please don’t mess this up, guys.”
- kabal363: “Damn, this is the second coming of The Cycle, but in every way really better.”
- jollyberries: “These developers should receive an award, just perfection, so much love and care. It’s one of those games that feels so obviously like a game because it’s so good, yet still so unique.”
Many players praise the developers for the idea, even though some note that this system has appeared in other games before. However, fans think it is really cool that it is also present in ARC Raiders.
After The Finals, ARC Raiders is the second hit from Embark Studios. The new shooter is currently delighting numerous players and doing a lot right. But as in all titles with other players, there are occasionally some issues: User reveals his mates in ARC Raiders because they only insult him – players think: this should become a legitimate strategy
