ARC Raiders players are urging developers to fix an overpowered glitch in the Stella Montis map
It allows raiders to go out of bounds through the ceiling and shoot opponents without fear of retaliation
My experience on Arc Raiders over the last week has been hell. Just to be clear, I love this game and think it’s already moved in to my personal top 10 all time.
But the egregious amount of cheating genuinely might be worse than peak Call of Duty. I’m not trying to bring negativity to the game because I know this type of dialogue can spread on socials like a disease but I genuinely cannot get through an entire raid without a steam profile that is level 0 or an account that has multiple game bans and VAC bans on record.
I promise I’m not trying to be self righteous by telling Embark what to do next, but 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. I know it’s just a game and a lot of players may not even encounter experiences like this because of the PvE and aggression based MMR but holy cow gentlemen, I’m at war and I’m getting absolutely pummeled for 8 hours straight every day. Hours and hours of looting, crafting and investment of time and resources wiped out raid after raid, over and over again.
If you made it this far and read everything, I appreciate you. I apologize for sounding like a whiny, privileged streamer but I just needed to vent somewhere else other than the stream. One day I’ll come to terms with the fact that cheating in video games has reached the point in time where it is impossible for the devs to keep up with the providers but until then, I’m just going to keep complaining.
Embark’s CEO confirms ARC Raiders has aggression based matchmaking
"So if your preference is to do PvE and have less conflict with players, you'll get more matched up [with those players].”
