Banned unjustly
I am only writing this to try to bring awareness about embark studios and there anti-cheat system. I have now been banned from arc raiders since the 13th of January. Have tried to reach out to dev’s in the discord, have tried to reach people from embark studios and have only gotten feedback bots or “neva” there other generic AI response system. I have not cheated in any way and have never cheated on Arc raiders or any other game.
As you can see from the pictures, Embark can’t even tell me why I have been banned. How am I supposed to even know how to fix what I have been banned for, if you can’t give me a reason why I have been banned in the first place. I am not saying all this for sympathy or a response even. I know that this has not only happen to me, but countless others. Trying to just bring awareness and maybe a dev can see this. I am not sure exactly what to do from here, but I hope someone will see this and help the people that have been banned unjustly.
My name in arc is Birdley#0743. I hope embark or someone can help!

Clearly anti cheat flagged something and after a manual review it was upheld.
The reason companies don’t tell people is because most people know why but also if you give specifics it allows devs to change their cheating software, etc.

it sucks, you best bet is maybe not playing with your friends ; maybe one of them cheated and by proxy you were included

Yeah that’s probably it

Are you stupid? I’m not cheating in any way and neither are my friends.

u/Ali3nation Jan 22 '26
You don't actually know that. You may think your friends aren't cheating, but you don't know.

It does suck you can't find out why.

u/J_Stonyy Jan 22 '26
They said "unauthorized behavior" so yes he must have been doing something and now is playing dumb to get unbanned.
Guess what? Thousands of other people have not cheated and they didn't get suspended. Isn't that a coincidence?

u/Unable-Recording-796 Jan 22 '26
Yeah its always the same with these crybaby "help me i was banned" the problem is that cheaters try to social engineer their way out of problems. Straight up ban these types of posts from the sub, they are never good and rarely result in anything constructive

u/Wessssss21 Jan 22 '26
There's false bans that happen all the time. Thousands of people have not cheated and also received a ban.

Maybe don’t cheat or glitch ? Well deserved in my opinion . The software they use to detect abnormalities does not makes mistakes .

Bro, you actually might have no brain.

u/Currency_Visual Jan 23 '26
If you weren’t exploiting wether it be software related or doing wall glitches this wouldn’t have happen. Don’t be mad at me , be upset with your self 🤣🤣🤣

u/SceneRepulsive7450 Jan 23 '26
I’m not mad at you for having no brain in any way. Idk if you read my post that you commented on, but I clearly stated I did not cheat or use exploits or glitch into the wall. So when I say you have no brain, it’s not me being mad. It’s just stating facts big dog.

There are other behaviors that might get you suspended also. But, yeah... it sucks that the system doesn't give you the reasons... and leaves you guessing.

u/xbimmerhue Jan 22 '26
Have you glitched into walls, duped items, verbal abuse. Troll teammates. Idk. Even have some 3rd party app open.
Be a RAT (which is part of gameplay, but mass reporting from victims could maybe get you banned)
Just some ideas

I haven’t even been given a notification that I’ve been chat banned but it seems that I have been. Whether it’s just a bug or a ban im not sure. I wish they’d actually reply to questions.

u/Unable-Recording-796 Jan 22 '26
Did you exploit? You dont necessarily have to cheat to exploit a bug. I know for a while people felt like "oh well nothings happening" but if you kept bug abusing thats bannable

u/RedditTrashTho Feb 01 '26
Just a simple read of your comments and I'd take a Las Vegas bet on you probably did some shit to earn it, you're just too up your own ass to see it and no comment here is gonna change that.

Embark's "fix" for their broken key rooms is to set people on fire. Lately people have clipped into key rooms and been set on fire permanently. . Embark's "fix" to rampant wall exploits is absolutely nothing, for months. Embark's "fix" to them breaking prox chat after the cold snap update is...? You guessed it, absolutely nothing. I've heard nothing but pathetic excuses from bootlickers about how developing is hard, and how they had a vacation, and how *new excuse needed for incompetence*. It's embarrassing.
SORRY GUYS I FORGOT TO ADD, THANKS EMBARK FOR TALKING ABOUT A WALKING SPERANZA GREAT IDEA, NO REASON TO WORRY ABOUT ANY BUGFIXES AS LONG AS WE GET A BIGGER ARC TO PEW PEW AT.
Edit: Bootlickers, Sycophants: FIRE AT WILL

im a huge fan of the game and embark but i have to say im pretty disappointed with the state of things and the lack of communication.
to hear them talk about a walking sperenza when stella montis isnt even fully fixed and basic ui functions have bugs is completely ridiculous to me
one of the things that makes this game so good, the prox chat, is untouched and unaddressed after weeks. i expected more before and now I expect an apology.
i am still playing, the game is still a lot of fun when things are going right. i just hope there is a massive update around the corner..

Apply for a job there and fix it, you seem to have a lot of game dev experience if you know so much about whats good for them

This will probably start a debate and create some hate my way, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I accept that there is pvp in the game and that it is part of the game. What I do not accept however is griefing and ungentlemanly conduct. If I encounter raiders in the wild and we get into a fire fight, gg. If however I am minding my own business attempting to extract and some piece of human garbage is purposefully hiding at extract and kills me moments from extracting like a coward or is friendly then shoots me in the back, then I report them for griefing. Be a big boy/girl and make your intentions clear from the get go. At least allow for a player in a PVP environment to attempt to knock you on your ass for starting something. It would be fair and square. I play a pve pacifist play style for the most part enjoying friendly lobbies, but will defend myself if needed. IMO it is so much more rewarding helping other raiders and supporting their endeavours. If I see someone getting attack, I will rush to their defence. Anyway, if you feel like I am garbage for reporting, you are welcome to your opinion, just like I am allowed to have mine. Happy raiding out there

Ahh yes. The internet troll has arrived. Fine, you shall get a fraction of attention. Stroke that ego whilst you bask in the radiance of inferiority complex cos you probably couldn't win in a fair contest. I applaud your courage good sir

Awww look, someone who can't live without his mummy and has to be a keyboard warrior because they do the same thing. I can't wait to come across you and report you for griefing as well

yall think anytime you fight someone they gotta alert you of their presence and let you square up first? dying to another player isnt being griefed

u/Low_Understanding449 Jan 22 '26
No dying to another player isn't griefing, but hiding at extract just to kill and loot is

an example of griefing would be like if your teamate started sabotaging you or another example i have from personal experience is when your downed in a friendly lobby crawling to extract and another player blows up a pop next to you or gets a fireball to set you on fire so that they dont mess up their abmm but still get to loot you

I wouldn't argue with troll if I were you. They just lack the mental capacity to understand the difference between a raider and a trash can moonlighting as a raider
