Arc Raiders Launches 30-Day Ban Wave on Cheaters as Players Demand Tougher Penalties

Embark has not detailed its enforcement policy, leaving questions about escalation to hardware bans.

Overview

  • Screenshots shared on social media show temporary suspensions that block access until February 2026.
  • Players celebrate action yet argue the 30-day penalty is too light, with many calling for permanent or hardware bans.
  • Reports claim first offenses trigger a month-long suspension while repeat violations may lead to hardware ID bans, though Embark has not confirmed this.
  • Embark recently patched a console-command exploit that let PC users see in the dark and has been reimbursing affected players for lost items.
  • The studio has promised anti-cheat improvements but has not published a clear ban policy, fueling demands for transparency.
