Arc Raiders publisher Embark Studios is developing its own artificial intelligence models to detect cheating as it faces an escalating arms race with cheaters. While the company previously kept details scarce to hinder cheat developers, it has now released information about its new measures. Aleks, the executive producer, confirmed that Embark uses kernel-level protection from Denuvo and detection services from Anybrain’s AI. Additionally, the studio is building in-house models based on machine learning and other data to identify suspicious behavior before taking action.<\/p>\n

To enforce these rules more strictly, Embark has made permanent bans the standard sanction for caught offenders, removing warnings or second chances. The company also links game copies to accounts involved in cheating, preventing cheaters from using a new license on the same hardware to return to the game. Other accounts associated with a banned copy will also face permanent bans. Aleks noted that the studio is working on a hardware ban system to target repeat offenders, hoping to implement it later this year.<\/p>\n

This hardware ban carries risks for innocent players who purchase used equipment previously flagged by the system. Unlike temporary bans in games like Valorant, where players can return after months, Arc Raiders’ permanent ban policy means such mistakes could be long-lasting. The crackdown is driven by community complaints, including frustration from seeing streamers use cheats. Aleks emphasized that while cheating will never fully disappear, Embark aims to make it difficult enough to deter players without incorrectly prosecuting legitimate gamers.<\/p>\n
