ARC Raiders Anti-Cheat

The full breakdown of ARC Raiders anti-cheat. Easy Anti-Cheat at the kernel, Anybrain machine-learning telemetry, the new Denuvo layer, and the loot-return system that triggers after confirmed cheater detections.

How ARC Raiders Anti-Cheat Works

ARC Raiders runs a layered anti-cheat stack: Easy Anti-Cheat at the kernel level, Anybrain machine-learning behavioral analysis, the Denuvo Anti-Cheat layer rolled out in patch 1.29.0, and the Abnormal Match Compensation system that automatically returns loot stolen by confirmed cheaters through in-game mail.

Fair Play and False Bans

Embark has publicly committed to anti-cheat as a studio-wide effort. The community has praised ban waves and the loot-return system, while raising concerns about Anybrain false bans, which the new kernel-level testing is partly aimed at addressing.
