The team behind ARC Raiders has concluded its investigation into recent in-game exploits, confirming that enforcement actions will begin rolling out this week to accounts found to have taken advantage of the issue.
In a statement addressed to players, the studio acknowledged that the exploits originated from a design flaw but emphasized that their misuse had a measurable impact on the game’s economy and overall player experience. As a result, corrective steps are being implemented to restore balance and uphold competitive integrity.
According to the developers, the delay in taking action was intentional. The team stated that account enforcement requires careful validation, including reviewing player reports against internal data, confirming the scope and frequency of exploit usage, and distinguishing between accidental behavior and deliberate abuse. The investigation also assessed the economic impact of the exploits before determining appropriate consequences.
Penalties will vary depending on severity, intent, and frequency of use. Lower severity cases may receive warnings, while accounts tied to exploit-related gains will have affected in-game currency removed. In more serious instances, particularly where exploit usage significantly disrupted the economy or other players’ experiences, suspensions will be issued.
The studio described the incident as the first of its scale for ARC Raiders and framed the response as both corrective and preventative. Improvements have already been made to detection systems, tracking tools, and internal safeguards to reduce the likelihood of similar issues in the future.
Developers also encouraged players to continue reporting confirmed issues through official channels to help the team respond more effectively. The statement closed by thanking community members who reported the exploits and those who continued playing without abusing the flaw during the investigation.
Further monitoring will continue, with the studio reiterating its commitment to handling future incidents fairly and consistently.
