Embark is tightening its approach to cheating in ARC Raiders, targeting repeat offenders and players abusing the game’s economy. Its latest Fair Play update outlines ongoing enforcement alongside further detection improvements.
In brief:
- Several ban waves have targeted accounts displaying bot-like behavior.
- Embark continues sanctioning abnormally high-value item transfers.
- Shared-license restrictions aim to make returning harder for repeat cheaters.
- Broader detection covering XP farming is planned.
ARC Raiders Takes Aim at Returning Cheaters
In its September 22 update, Embark says it is strengthening shared-license policies following account sanctions. The goal is to make it harder for detected cheaters to purchase another account and return.
The studio is also expanding first-strike permanent bans while improving detection to act faster against offenders.
Economy Manipulation and Item Duplication Remain Priorities
Embark reports several ban waves against bot-like accounts and continued sanctions for unusually valuable item transfers. It also says summer improvements have produced positive results against item duplication.
XP Farming Detection Will Expand
Embark plans to broaden detection to cover suspicious behavior such as XP farming. That is a future improvement, rather than confirmation of a completed XP-farming ban wave.
