Arc Raiders Has One Major Flaw That Needs to Be Fixed

by

The success of ARC Raiders shows that many aspects of the game are working well. However, with any popular game, some problems within the community are bound to arise. Beyond typical issues with inappropriate language in voice chat, more serious concerns could damage the positive momentum the developers have built. Ultimately, a significant flaw could spoil what would otherwise be a fantastic game.

A great thing about finding teammates in ARC Raiders is that the game figures out what kind of matches you like best. It actively groups players together based on whether they usually play cooperative (PvE) or competitive (PvP) modes. While this system works well overall, there’s a potential issue with it that hasn’t gotten much attention.

ARC Raiders Has More Cheaters Than Even Call Of Duty

The popular shooter ARC Raiders is unfortunately experiencing a surge in cheaters. Players are using programs like aimbots and wallhacks to gain an unfair advantage, and the game’s developer, Embark Studios, is struggling to keep up. While cheating is common in successful games, ARC Raiders seems to have a particularly large and active cheater community right now.

I’ve been seeing a lot of pros from other games talking about the cheating situation, and honestly, it’s pretty scary. One article in GamesRadar said it could be even worse than what peak Call of Duty was like! It’s especially frustrating because Embark is a smaller team, but that doesn’t really excuse the fact that cheaters are still running rampant. They’ve said they’re working on better cheat detection, but at this point, it’s going to take some really big changes to actually make a difference, you know?

Look, cheating just ruins the game for everyone. It gives those players a totally unfair edge, no matter what mode you’re in. But it’s especially bad in PvP – seriously, seeing someone shoot through walls or glitch outside the map is infuriating! And honestly, I’ve been really frustrated with how ARC Raiders handles it. A 30-day ban? Come on! Other games will permanently ban cheaters, and it feels like they’re just not taking it seriously enough.

PvP Might Suffer An Incredible Loss Of Players If Cheaters Run Wild

Okay, so playing ARC Raiders lately has been frustrating because of cheaters. Unlike some other shooters, it’s super easy for them to get up and running, which makes things really tough. I’m running into them almost every other match, especially on the Stella Montis map – it’s like a hotbed for exploits! Even with the anti-cheat getting better, it’s going to take a while to get rid of all those ‘out of map’ glitches people are using to gain an unfair advantage in competitive play.

With more people playing ARC Raiders thanks to sales, the number of cheaters is also likely to increase. If Embark Studios doesn’t get tougher on cheating, players could frequently encounter cheaters in every game. This could drive players away from ARC Raiders and towards other popular shooting games.

Dealing with cheaters can vary from game to game and player to player, but they ultimately harm the entire gaming community. Because ARC Raiders is vulnerable to exploits, players will likely accuse each other of cheating more often, even when those accusations are unfair. Even a small number of cheaters can create a negative atmosphere and ruin the experience for everyone playing a shooter game.

To keep the multiplayer experience strong, serious steps need to be taken against cheaters, potentially including lifetime bans or even legal measures for the most serious offenses. Epic Games, the team behind the game, could offer assistance to Embark Studios to help address the cheating issue in ARC Raiders. However, currently, this is a major problem that could lead to a drop in the game’s player base.
