Anti-Cheat & Fair Play

Ensuring a fair and competitive Rust Belt for every Raider

The Commitment to Fairness

Competitive integrity is our top priority.

In a high-stakes extraction shooter like ARC Raiders, the integrity of the game is what makes the tension real. Every encounter, every scavenged component, and every successful extraction must be the result of skill, strategy, and a bit of luck—never the result of unfair advantages.

To protect the community, Embark Studios utilizes a multi-layered approach to security, combining industry-standard detection with cutting-edge AI behavioral analysis.

Anybrain AI Integration

ARC Raiders utilizes Anybrain, a revolutionary AI-driven anti-cheat solution. Unlike traditional anti-cheats that scan your system's memory for known "cheat signatures," Anybrain focuses on behavioral patterns.

"It doesn't just look for what's on your computer; it looks at how you play. It's the difference between checking for a weapon and watching for suspicious movement."

How it Works

  • Input Analysis: Analyzes mouse movements and keyboard inputs for non-human precision or patterns.
  • AI Learning: Constantly evolves to recognize new types of aimbots, trigger-bots, and recoil modifiers.
  • Privacy First: Operates without deep kernels scanning, focusing on gameplay data rather than personal files.

Reporting Cheaters

While Anybrain works in the background, community reporting remains a vital pillar of our defense. If you suspect another Raider of using unfair advantages, use the following methods:

In-Game Report

Use the 'Report Player' button on the post-match results screen or the scoreboard.

Spectator Mode

If you are knocked out, you can spectate your killer to gather evidence of suspicious play.

Support Portal

Submit video evidence directly through the official Embark Studios support portal.

Technical FAQ

Does Anybrain impact FPS?

No. Anybrain is designed to be lightweight. It primarily processes input telemetry which is mathematically inexpensive, ensuring that your extraction attempts remain smooth and responsive.

Is it Root/Kernel level?

ARC Raiders uses a combination of EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) for kernel-level protection against external memory hacking and Anybrain for behavioral AI analysis, creating a robust, multi-tier defense.

What about false positives?

Behavioral AI is built to recognize the difference between "high-skill play" (flicks, tracking) and "impossible precision." The system is calibrated with thousands of hours of pro-level play to ensure fair treatment for high-tier Raiders.
