There&#8217;s also an interesting bit of discussion in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ArcRaiders\/comments\/1olbx4i\/i_didnt_know_we_get_refunded_is_someone_cheats_o\/\" target=\"_blank\">one of the threads<\/a> about more intrusive <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/battlefield-6-and-valorants-invasive-anti-cheats-are-locked-in-a-turf-war\/\">kernel-level anti-cheat systems<\/a> used in games like <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/battlefield-6\/\">Battlefield 6<\/a>: One user wrote, &#8220;Fighting cheaters will unfortunately always be an uphill and reactionary battle, unless the game goes full invasive mode and act like a computer virus having more access than it should and we all know no one wants that,&#8221; which prompted several others to say that&#8217;s exactly what they want if it means fewer cheaters.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an interesting perspective, given how the sentiment against kernel-level anti-cheat is usually so negative, but one I can&#8217;t personally get behind: My own PC doesn&#8217;t support SecureBoot or TPM 2.0, which means I can&#8217;t run Battlefield 6 at all. And I just wanted to play the campaign!<\/p>\n<p>So naturally, I feel like this is a very good approach to managing a situation that can have <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/with-thousands-still-playing-this-extraction-shooter-is-shutting-down-after-barely-a-year-online\/\">serious long-term consequences for games<\/a> as well as the people who play them. Cheaters suck, but if we&#8217;re stuck with them (and it sure seems like we are) then minimizing the impact they have on everyone else seems like the next-best thing to be done.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"e9e6549c-624a-4932-b1d2-58a3ebebd38f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Arc Raiders Field Depots\" data-dimension48=\"Arc Raiders Field Depots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1080px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"TCou4LpWxSUzfBu3QPeR6P\" name=\"arc-raiders-boxout\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/arc-raiders-studio-is-returning-loot-to-players-who-get-hosed-by-cheaters-were-committed-to-building-an-environment-where-gameplay-is-about-skill-teamwork-and-fun.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/arc-raiders-field-depot-locations-off-the-radar\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"e9e6549c-624a-4932-b1d2-58a3ebebd38f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Arc Raiders Field Depots\" data-dimension48=\"Arc Raiders Field Depots\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Arc Raiders Field Depots<\/strong><\/a>: Where to find &#8217;em<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/arc-raiders-field-crate-locations-down-to-earth\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Arc Raiders Field Crates<\/strong><\/a>: How to use &#8217;em<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/arc-raiders-dog-collar-location-train-scrappy\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Arc Raiders dog collar<\/strong><\/a>: Train Scrappy<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/arc-raiders-best-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Arc Raiders best skills<\/strong><\/a>: Survive the surface<br \/><strong><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/arc-raiders-expeditions\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Arc Raiders Expeditions<\/strong><\/a>: Retire your Raider<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/arc-raiders-studio-is-returning-loot-to-players-who-get-hosed-by-cheaters-were-committed-to-building-an-environment-where-gameplay-is-about-skill-teamwork-and-fun\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheaters are the bane of pretty much every competitive multiplayer videogame in existence.
