In ARC Raiders, a player was caught cheating while live streaming on Twitch. The community is outraged.
How did the player cheat? In a post on Reddit, a user shared multiple clips of a cheater. You can see the player walking through walls and then shooting at other players from under the map, who are defenseless.
The defenseless players fall victim to the cheater and lose their loot and items, as is common in ARC Raiders. He himself was taken out by the cheater and then found the name online. There he also saw that the player was live streaming on a small Twitch account, showing how he glitches into walls to take out other players.

Community demands punishment
How are players reacting to the action? Many find it quite brazen that a cheater is filming live how he takes out normal players in ARC Raiders using glitches. At the same time, it’s also somewhat foolish, as Toastqt points out on Reddit, to provide evidence of one’s own misconduct and potentially get banned for it.
Accordingly, the community is calling for punishment for the player. According to them, it often happens in his streams that he glitches into walls and takes others out. Users on Reddit write:
- Modernautomatic: “He keeps doing it over and over again. Damn, this dude.”
- Watamelonna: “Justice must prevail. Guys like this ruin the fun for everyone.”
- TeisTom: “I’ve died at exactly this spot many times and knew something was off with the bullets coming from the concrete. I just didn’t know how they did it.”
How does the glitch work? At the point shown in the video, there is currently a bug that allows players to walk into the wall. This allows them to get under the map, which has no textures and walls from underneath, which is why they can shoot at all enemies without any resistance.
However, this method clearly violates the rules of the developers and can result in a ban. Not only is one’s gear lost, but participation in further games can also be permanently prevented depending on the severity of the offense. The player in the video above must also expect such punishment.
Cheaters are a problem in many games. ARC Raiders is not spared either. Unlike other titles, however, the developers do not simply ban the troublemakers, but also take good care of the victims of hackers: ARC Raiders bans cheaters from the game, but also considers the victims
