Arc Raiders developer Embark is implementing a zero-tolerance anti-cheating policy, replacing previous warnings with immediate permanent bans for any detected cheating, including hardware bans to prevent account recreation. The studio is deploying multiple anti-cheat systems including machine learning and third-party software like Elytra Anti-Cheat, and has already reduced queue teaming incidents by 85 percent. The policy takes effect ahead of the October 8 Frozen Trail update.
