Arc Raiders, a popular extraction shooter, is currently grappling with significant cheating problems, especially on PC, where players can exploit visual filters to gain unfair advantages over console players on PS5 and Xbox. These cheats involve disabling NVIDIA's filters that limit visibility, giving PC players superior sightlines, which has raised concerns about fairness. NVIDIA has issued a fix, but clever players have found workarounds, prompting fears of an imbalance in gameplay. Meanwhile, Embark Studios has announced that it will implement major updates to its anti-cheat systems, including new detection mechanisms, rule set adjustments, and client-side fixes to address issues such as 'out of map' glitches. Additionally, the game has recently introduced aggression-based matchmaking to better balance player encounters. Despite its popularity, with over 3.2 million daily active users and record sales during the holiday period, the game faces ongoing challenges with cheaters and exploits, which could threaten its player base if not addressed promptly.
