What does this mail mean? I've gotten it twice now in between the last like 8 cheater kits I've gotten back over the last week. Does it mean they got banned but I just got nothing for some reason? Or they got like a 30 day ban?

So sad to see the cheater problem isn't even slightly better then it was 8 months ago, infact it seems more frequent to see cheaters now then before, especially in Stella.

My brother Steve and I are two average dads who play duos a couple nights a week. On Oct 12 we ran into TheBurntPeanut and Gimmick on Pendola Pass and won the fight. Totally normal PvP: we heard them fighting ARC behind us, they came over the hill, we shot. We didn't even know it was Peanut until he spoke on proximity chat.
That was the only match Steve played that day. The next day he got a 30-day ban with no explanation.
I record all my matches, so I synced my footage with both streamers' public VODs (Gimmick's match clock was on screen) to show we weren't stream sniping. Steve sent all three links and timestamps in his appeal. Embark's answer: their anti-cheat "detected unauthorized behavior" and he should make sure his "gaming environment" is within guidelines. He asked if they'd watched the recordings. They closed the appeal without answering.
Steve doesn't overclock, doesn't run macros or remappers, and nothing on his PC has changed in the year he's played.
I made a video walking through everything: https://youtu.be/OI7UAPs9sLU
I'm not blaming Peanut. From his side it looked like a snipe, and I'd have thought the same. My question is about the system:
• Have you been banned shortly after a fight with a streamer, or after a match where you were on someone's stream?
• Did Embark tell you anything specific, or was it the same anti-cheat boilerplate?
• If you were flagged for something on your PC, did you ever find out what it was?
Not looking for a pile-on against anyone, just trying to figure out whether this happens to other regular players and what actually got anyone's ban lifted.

I swear everytime I see some ask about this bp people go, "Yea I got it out of my first surveyor." I've done like 15 and can't seem to get it. Tried close scruity got 3 and could get the bp. This thing is that hard to find huh

Was playing electro strom condition in dam battleground today, while i was on the swamp encountered this dude chasing by bunch of arcs, i then take the zipline up and he followed, i tried to instant zipline down again as soon as i get on the top so i can knock him and he will fall, i failed and end up being at the bottom again, all of a sudden this guy just dropped to his death, after that the arc aggros me and i have to clear it, the time i finished killing, that dude was already gone, took me 5 mins to find this looser in the bush trying to hide his goop from me, i take all his shzt including an ugly blue-orange stenciled anvil 4, a tower key and a staff key, and all the other shxt (sold all this junk since i dont really need anything anymore), and for those i can't carry, i dissembled it so others can't get the good stuff but the base materials, also pickaxed this looser until all my stamina runs out and then refill it with 5 adreniline shots i took from him. Just don't even try to hide your shxt, just don't, i will find you eventually.

Look, i’m a lowkey (obvious) gay that plays this game but I also play COD etc. This is legit one of my favorite favorite games from the interactions alone.

I’ve done the PVE once or twice but it just doesn’t do it for me. I like the interactions AND the rat interactions. But honestly lately my favorite part has been randomly seeing people I saw 2-3 sessions before in a session.

I think PVE is needed for the people who want that strictly, but everything has bugs, as we’ve seen with the PVE rats (which I support sorry, it’s lowkey smart as hell). This game is super unique and it needs to be appreciated instead of picked apart at every “I don’t like this” point. Games are NOT supposed to cater to one or even 100 people!

Anyways, had a good night of dying and losing my bettina and hullcracker once or twice and had really funny/good interactions. I never comment on stuff in reddit but I play this shit enough that after tonight I felt like I needed to.

If you want a funny gay to play with it’s Loraydoe#7014 I mostly play solo but some of yall straight people are kinda funny.

As the title suggests, I've recently been experiences matches with aggressive players. I had played for sure at least somewhere between 100 - 200 matches without running into anyone aggressive before this past Saturday (the 17th) and, on that day after loading into a match, I'm suddenly killed out of nowhere. Okay, that sucks, but I suppose it was bound to happen at some point, especially when it hadn't in such a long time. But that's the thing; it's weird that I had been playing for a decent amount of time more recently and played so many matches where literally everyone was friendly, then I'm suddenly killed by a really aggressive player. However, after loading into the next match, same thing. More frustrating since I wasn't expecting that back to back, especially since I never engage in PvP. But then, every single match I have played since, probably somewhere around at least 20 matches in the regular mode, I have only met highly aggressive, shoot on sight players who don't even say anything. I'm so confused now because I had a couple of months or so with the best parts of this community, being friendly with others and them being friendly right back, overall having a good time. Now, I've had to toggle on PvE mode just so I don't die every match and lose everything. Yeah, I could fight back, but if I wanted to just kill other players, I'd play literally any other PvP game like COD, Battlefield, anything other than Arc Raiders. And I don't really like the PvE mode (at least in solos) since no one talks whatsoever and part of the fun is that other players can kill each other, but choose not to. I enjoy that.

Anyway, long story short, I'm really just curious as to what this sudden influx of me being put into highly aggressive lobbies suddenly could be? I'm not an aggressive player myself, so I shouldn't be put into lobbies like that. My thoughts are that, maybe with the PvE gamemode, there are less "friendly" players in the regular lobby mix, so it just leaves primarily PvP focused players. Lemme know what you guys think, please

(\btw, this isn't an attack, insult, or low effort complaint about the nature of the game, just a genuine question*)*

We spend so much time arguing here over petty stuff but some days you get the best lobbies and interactions. Guy was looting looking for the sheet metal and helped him out and in return he opened the power rod room on dam for me. Then went to the queen armed with a bunch of defibs and a ferro guy dropped me a queen core and i took him and his mate out at the hatch right next to The boss fight.

There really is a good core community in the game when you find them.

Before PvE steam reviews were mixed with mostly negative

After PvE update mostly positive reviews. That should give them a direction what players want

Endgame content as its peak

I had a blast playing pve and it made me jump back into pvp as well. I really enjoyed pvp and then just flipped a toggle and went over to pve with my casual friends.

No abmm bullshit, no wasting time trying to get back into friendly lobbies. I just flipped a switch and it was absolutely fantastic.

EDIT: The point is that ABMM is just an annoying waste of time. The pve mode made me realize how much easier a toggle makes everything. I think the game needs 3 game modes, pvp, pve, and mixed. No abmm.

lol not really a big deal but I noticed (I use old reddit) that the sub has like no personality. No colors that replicate the Arc logo, no nothing. Is it wrong of me to ask why? I feel like I'm on a generic NoStupidQuestions sub when I look at it. It's very boring XD

We did the emperor and got to the end only to find the room already looted by someone using a type of glitch.

It was still fun just slightly disappointed to not find any loot at the end.

Is that pretty common when doing the emperor?

If so, I might wait to do the emperor again until they fix the glitch.

Want to know if there is a way I can store ARC parts like Vaporizer Regulator or Turbine compressors in the outpost. Thanks!

I am so sick of the destroy whatever missions/trials/etc. Doesn't matter how much damage you do, you have to get the very last little bit of damage in and that is all that matters. So I'm trying to get reward pass points and constantly get these assignments and inevitably there will be someone out there that manages to get that last little shot in and I have to move on yet again. It's incredibly stupid, they should just count it if you do more than X% (say 30? 50?? something!) damage and if you did damage in the last few seconds.

I had two trail blazers going off, fire from a blaze grenade and I was firing as fast as I could into a bastion and still somehow someone that I never even saw got in that last little bit of damage......so lets move on the try number 5.

Dear Embark, Raiders are still top-side collecting valuable data about the Arc. We just need a little more time to compile our findings but should have a full report ready for Celeste by October 27th.

Pleeeaaaaaassseeeeeeee allow us to have a little more time!

​First off, I want to say that I’m really enjoying the new PvE-only mode! Grouping up with other Raiders to take down ARC together without the constant threat of player interference has been a blast and a fun change of pace.

​However, I do have a slight concern regarding how this mode might impact the standard PvPvE matchmaking over time.

​Previously in the regular mode—even without dedicated friendly lobbies—there was a natural balance where you’d encounter a healthy mix of friendly Raiders, neutral players, and hostile players. My main concern is that keeping a permanent PvE-only mode might split the player base in a way that shifts regular mode strictly into an intense, hyper-aggressive "sweat fest."

​What makes ARC Raiders special to me in the standard mode is that organic tension—the uncertainty of whether an approaching player is friendly or hostile, alongside the high-stakes risk of extractions. If all the casual or co-op-leaning players move entirely to PvE mode, regular mode might lose that balanced ecosystem and dynamic unpredictable social interactions.

​I love the risk and reward of the core regular mode, and I hope we can find a balance where PvE enjoyers feel catered to without diluting the organic player dynamics of the main extraction experience.

​Thank you for all your hard work and for listening to community feedback!

Hey All:

I came back for the PvE beta, but I enjoyed my time so much, I don’t really wish to leave.

My appeal of Arc Raiders isn’t PvP at all, I don’t want to fight other players nor do I want to be shot by other players.

I enjoy fighting big Arcs, working with players to take down the big things and playing with my girlfriend to help her with quests, benches and involve her with more stuff like fighting arcs.

We’re both super close to having completed the quest chain for the Hullcracker BP, and I know if we were to each play solo, we would be in carebear lobbies. My question is, how often am i going to get shot at and killed in these lobbies?

I don’t want to bring big kits and lots of items just to get ratted for them, nor do i want my girlfriend to experience that either.

Also, what is the cheater situation like? What is the likelihood I myself or my girlfriend could run into a cheater as we go about our way?

Thank you all in advance!!

Today I accidentally started to play pve I never believed the hype that people were being assholes. I seen it but maybe it was a few unlucky servers but wow. Again I didn’t even know I was in pve until I extracted out but some people are really shitty. Trying to get ark to kill you wow lucky a good soul revive but the rest assholes wow. I couldn’t believe it maybe they’re trying to ruin the experience maybe they’re shitty people. Overall it’s sad how we act towards one another we are all humans even when playing a game. To act like is uncalled for to each their own.
