The developers of ARC Raiders have released a detailed update addressing recent in-game exploits that disrupted both gameplay balance and the in-game economy. After completing a full internal investigation, the team confirmed that corrective and enforcement actions will begin rolling out this week.

According to the developers, the exploits originated from a design flaw, but the way they were used went far beyond unintended gameplay. In some cases, exploit abuse had a measurable impact on the economy and negatively affected the experience of players who continued to play fairly.

The team explained that taking action required time to ensure accuracy and fairness. Before enforcing penalties, they validated player reports against internal data, confirmed exploit usage and scale, separated accidental edge cases from deliberate abuse, and assessed the overall impact on competitive integrity. This marks the first large-scale exploit incident the studio has handled since ARC Raiders went live, prompting a careful, methodical response rather than rushed decisions.

Enforcement Actions Explained

Actions will vary depending on severity, intent, frequency, and impact, and may include:

• Warnings for low-severity or limited abuse
• Removal of Coins gained through exploit activity
• Account suspensions for severe cases that significantly impacted the economy or other players

The developers emphasized that the goal is not punishment for its own sake, but restoring fairness and holding all players to the same standard.

What’s Next for ARC Raiders

Looking ahead, the team confirmed that detection systems, tracking tools, and internal safeguards have already been improved to reduce the risk and impact of similar exploits in the future. The incident is being treated as both a corrective action and a learning opportunity to strengthen ARC Raiders’ live service systems.

Players are encouraged to continue reporting issues through official channels, including the ARC Raiders Discord, to help the team respond faster and with greater confidence.

The update closed with a message of thanks to players who reported the exploits and continued playing in good faith while the investigation was underway, reaffirming the studio’s commitment to fair play and long-term game health.
