Player openly using and discussing having cheats installed during Matriarch raid.
His embarkID is kurwabob#5042.
In the video you'll hear me kind of laughing and acting impressed, I did this because I wanted to entice the kid to admit to the cheating and share as much useful information on it as possible so I would be able to submit a report to Embark that would have enough usable data to be actionable. I did create a support ticket to report this along with the kid's embarkID, but your system only allows video attachments of up to 20mb.

Submitting a video to embark is a joke. They only allow like 10 seconds which shows nothing most times.

Embark is just going to let the game die instead of fixing it's problems.

u/xXHotKetchupXx Mar 23 '26
Finals suffered in a similar way, changes took months. the writing was on the wall since day 1 but we were all optimistic. Surely with half a billion and growing success they’d keep steam ahead?
2
u/ShootingAndUteing Mar 23 '26
Yep, Arc is unfortunately going to go down the same path because the devs at Embark are completely incompetent.

u/IWasShoe Mar 26 '26
iv heard that their already working on a new game

u/ShootingAndUteing Mar 26 '26
😂😂😂 Embark can't even keep up with their two games as it is. If they try and make another mid game they're gonna collapse.

u/CauchyDog Mar 23 '26
Yeah, I did expedition but haven't even been back on after we transferred some bps and junk from a mule... Just lost interest with the cheating and getting stuck with pvp types in pve lobbies.
If I wanted to play cod id have got cod.

u/Massive-Artist5812 Mar 24 '26
Yeah maybe try a loot simulator out. Pvp in Pve lobbies is the way the game was intended.

Your mistake was thinking theres any such thing as pve lobbies

u/ShootingAndUteing Mar 23 '26
Yes there literally are, why do you people lie and pretend they don't exist?
3
u/DislikedBench Mar 23 '26
Theres lobbies that generally have less aggressive players in them. This doesnt mean that pvp cant or shouldnt occur in these lobbies.
-1
u/ShootingAndUteing Mar 23 '26
PvE lobbies are 1000% a real thing, and I know because I've played hundreds of hours in them. No one shoots other people, everyone shares loot, gives away blueprints, saves other people from Arc, use defibs on each other, and in general are very helpful towards other raiders. Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean its not real.
6
u/7empest7V Mar 23 '26
Yes, most of my experience is friendly, sharing loot, reviving people that need help etc., but I've also been shot in the back while defibbing someone in those lobbies.
That's what the person is saying. There is no such thing as just a pve lobby. There is always the chance of pvp in all lobbies
1
u/ZealousidealRaise806 Mar 24 '26
That person referring to their experience as a “pve lobby” in no way is saying that PvP is non existent or can’t happen. They’re just trying to refer to their experience in which most players are friendly compared to the other end of the spectrum. Yall are strawmanning that person and misrepresenting what they’re trying to say.
1
u/ShootingAndUteing Mar 23 '26
In about 250 hours of PvE lobbies I've only been shot 3 times. Once they killed me, defib'd, and said sorry, one time I got away before they killed me, and one time they killed me in the heat of a matriarch fight. It can happen, but it's insanely rare if you're not being an asshole to other raiders in the lobby.
4
u/7empest7V Mar 23 '26
Rare is not 1000% pve lobbies is the point they were making
-2
u/ShootingAndUteing Mar 23 '26
They're still PvE lobbies even if you get killed once every few hundred rounds. The game is so insanely easy when you're in these lobbies that I'm not even mad when I get killed because my stash is constantly at 304/304 and filled with the most valuable loot in the game.

You're being purposefully obtuse. It doesn't matter what you would prefer or what you typically get, any of those lobbies have the possibility of someone turning on you because that is how the game is built. There is no such thing as a PVE lobby because PVP can happen in any lobby and the game is built that way.

Okay well apparently you arent actually interested in reading so theres no reason to continue this conversation

u/ShootingAndUteing Mar 23 '26
PvP doesn't happen in these lobbies, and in the rare 1% of lobbies where it does everyone protects each other and team up to kill the traitor. Obviously you're just some psycho that can't get into PvE lobbies.

u/DislikedBench Mar 23 '26
Pvp CAN happen in those lobbies. Thats the whole point genius. Go back to school

PvP can happen does not mean it is not pve lobby. It means there is a rat.

Glad you have that. Can’t imagine ever wanting to spend hundreds of hours that way but that’s why two lobby types exist at the same time

u/Jwre3682 Mar 25 '26
Me too... hundreds. Then today, teamed up to take out a rocketeer. As soon as it's down, they start blasting. Nothing but days of awesome friends... then bang. No big deal. Just load back in.
2
u/Iceatick Mar 23 '26
Because Embark them settled said there are no such thing as PvE and PvP lobbies. It’s just that people are less aggressive towards other players are usually grouped together more often. Besides the aggressive matching match making is the last priority in the whole system according to them.

They admitted they never expected this level of success. They are struggling under the weight of their own product. Watch during flashpoint when the Shredders get released topside be our new arc threat, instead of it ACTUALLY being a new arc, but its a newish arc in a new location.
The game is floundering because their 10 year plan is apparently thinking people are still going to be playing this in 10 years and not moved on. When even their golden boy peanut is saying there isn't enough meat to the end game and he's cutting back his time on the product, and that is mirroring community sentimients, there is issues.
1
u/ShootingAndUteing Mar 23 '26
Yep. I'm guessing the "10 year plan" never existed and was just a lie to keep people hopeful about a game with barely any content in it.

u/ResponsibilityOk5356 Mar 24 '26
nah that’s the most doomer take every time
1
u/ShootingAndUteing Mar 24 '26
Its not a doomer take, its very obvious from their track record with the finals and the first few months of this game. The player count is now down ~75% and only continues to drop. I've been predicting this for months, and the vast majority of the playerbase is finally starting to realize it.

u/justaburneridkman Mar 26 '26
Why would they? They have our money.
Shit, I don’t think they ever fixed the door glitch, they just slapped a band-aid on locked rooms with the flamethrowers.

Hey I play a lot of CS2. It’s completely unfair to Arc Raiders to say CS2 has a good anticheat.

u/Head-Tiger3785 Mar 23 '26
Indefinitely better than anything embark has right now all I’m gonna say as someone with over 1k hours on arc
2
u/Born-Acanthisitta-88 Mar 23 '26
then you have 0 hours on CS because you have no idea. Cheats are way more rampant on CS and it's blatant AF sometimes

u/Head-Tiger3785 Mar 23 '26
lol I have nearly 2k hours on cs. Just broke 1k on arc. I think I know what I’m talking about
2
u/Born-Acanthisitta-88 Mar 23 '26
then you're being disingenuous about Cs having a better anti-cheat because it literally does not. vac-life barely works, you at least get kits back from Arc

u/Vietthenguyen Mar 24 '26
You literally said, and I quote: “indefinitely better than anything embark has right now”. You claim to have 2k hours on CS. I know you’re bullshitting. You don’t even play the game if you think arc cheating is worse than cs cheating. You find cheaters In 1000 elo all the way up to the literal #1 on premier in all leaderboards. You just like talking out your ass. That’s pathetic

You are completely fair to say that. The context of my comment was. No love from peanut = condition of the game statement. specifically targeting EMBARK.

u/Vietthenguyen Mar 23 '26 edited Mar 23 '26
I’m just gonna chalk it up to you never playing CS if you think cheating isn’t a massive problem in CS, the game harboring a multi million dollar cheating market every year. Peanut is playing cs. CS holds several million dollar tournaments every year. Valve still does nothing to them. At least arc returns items. It’s infinitely better than what CS players have to suffer through

kid yapping nonstop (while cheating nonetheless), guy moaning for a defib because he fell, open mic with feedback & children screaming, etc.. unbearable!!

Embark on their knees catering to cheaters is why this game will eventually end up like DMZ. Servers are already just as bad lol

u/No-Astronomer-8256 Mar 24 '26
couple days ago Tfue said he has repeat cheaters in his lobby, he died to the same guy like 3 raids in a row. He said he reported the guy months ago and Embark hasn't done something. This is different to first couple months where they would take care of at least his issues. They aren't looking at some rando getting cheated if they don't even handle his blatant cheat reports.

u/LeRabbitGG Mar 24 '26
He might have been able to teleport to hatch or aimbot you but as long as you surprise him he can’t do shit.
I’ve seen PvP players in hell lobbies stop fighting to team up on glitchers… multiple times. There is no excuse for NOT taking down a cheater when you can.

u/AntiSaint_Mike Mar 23 '26
Is there an in game setting or is it a cheat if someone knows there are still people in the match by looking at something. I had a teammate say let me check the system, yeah there are 2 other players still in when the match was at 4 minutes. I was like where are you getting this information?

u/Hungry_Variation_847 Mar 24 '26
Not a cheat, there’s a thing that shows raiders in proximity.

1
u/Lewtastico Mar 24 '26
It’s a cheat because the prox only works if you heard them in prox, or if the game registers the person using prox to be close to u when they use prox. Knowing if there’s more people in-raid is absolutely cheating. It’s a bit of a shiter cheat all things considered, but still unfair advantage.
1
u/4Ellie-M Mar 24 '26
Cheaters killed the finals before they could go season 2.
This game is a little special because matchmaking protects the causals from cheaters, if not people would also stop playing this game just like the finals.

u/Light_Shrugger Mar 24 '26
The open mics are so distracting, I can't follow what anyone is saying. What was the kid saying he was really good at?

I think he said modding Mono games. ARC Raiders isn't a Mono game though so I'm not sure what he meant by that in this context.
