In recent game news, just as the multiplayer shooter *Arc Raiders* begins to find its footing and grow its audience, the experience is being marred by a frustrating surge of cheaters. Legitimate players are finding themselves at the mercy of adversaries utilizing game-breaking exploits, such as shooting through solid concrete walls. This rampant unfairness has led to a community-wide outcry, with fans urging Embark Studios to significantly ramp up their anti-cheat measures and enforcement.
Stella Montis: A Hotspot for Exploits
The Stella Montis area, designed for intense PvP encounters, has unfortunately become a playground for these bad actors. The situation has left many players feeling helpless. One Reddit user vented their frustration, stating, "Again and again I get killed behind walls or through walls, people are cheating like crazy and it makes me want to quit because you can't do anything against them." To back up their claim, they shared a clip showing their character being decimated through a solid roof.
This sentiment is echoing across the community. The top comment on that post highlighted a similar disheartening experience: "I convinced a friend of giving the game a try, then on our first Stella Montis we got killed through the roof." It seems that out-of-bounds cheats and wall-bang exploits are happening with alarming regularity.
High-Profile Criticism and Comparisons
Another frustrated player asked on Reddit, "Is Embark doing anything about the cheaters? I got killed by someone on the roof somehow shooting inside of Stella Montis." The prevailing theory is that players are accessing specific, readily available illicit software to gain these advantages. These kinds of unauthorized modifications have long plagued industry giants like *Battlefield* and *Call of Duty*, and now, there is fear that *Arc Raiders* is heading down the same path.
Former esports professional Matthew 'Nadeshot' Haag has weighed in on the crisis, suggesting that the situation might actually be setting a new low. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Haag remarked, "The egregious amount of cheating genuinely might be worse than peak Call of Duty."
Calls for Legal Action
Haag didn't just highlight the problem; he proposed a potential solution for Embark Studios. He believes the developer needs to take an aggressive stance to ensure the game's survival. "I think the only option they have to protect the success of this game is similar to how Epic handled Fortnite in the past - legitimate legal action against providers and individuals who are actively supplying and using cheating software," he stated.
While this is a strong strategy, it's worth noting that Epic Games is a massive corporation with the deep pockets required for such prolonged legal battles. Embark Studios, while not small, operates on a different scale. Nevertheless, the rising tide of cheating is undeniably a critical issue that the team will need to address swiftly to prevent an exodus of players.
