Hey, Daily Quest readers.
Imagine dropping into a high-stakes ARC Raiders raid, loot stacked, only to get obliterated by some script-kiddie flying through walls. Nightmare fuel, right? Embark Studios is done letting cheaters trash the fun—they’ve just slammed the door on a massive Steam Family Sharing exploit that let banned losers keep terrorizing lobbies.
In this post, we’re breaking down the explosive new anti-cheat move, why cheaters are raging, and how it ties into ARC Raiders’ epic ongoing battle against hackers. With over 12 million copies sold and Best Multiplayer Game at the 2025 Game Awards, this beast of an extraction shooter deserves a clean battlefield.
Stick around—if you’re grinding raids, this changes everything.
The Cheater Plague That’s Been Ruining ARC Raiders
ARC Raiders exploded onto the scene in October 2025, blending chaotic PvPvE extraction action with killer ARC bots that keep you on your toes. But cheaters? They’ve been a massive buzzkill, especially post-Christmas when hackers turned lobbies into aimbot circuses.
Embark hit back hard in early January with beefed-up detection tech and rule changes. Now, on February 4, they’ve dropped a bombshell: Steam Family Sharing restrictions that crush ban evasion. No more buying one copy, sharing it with a burner account to cheat, then swapping back to your main. Caught? Your whole family group’s toast.
As a gamer who’s sunk hundreds of hours into extraction shooters like Tarkov, I love this. Cheaters abusing Family Sharing was an open secret—Reddit threads were full of reports. This forces them to pony up or GTFO.
How the New Steam Family Sharing Ban Works – Cheaters' Worst Nightmare
Straight from Embark’s site, here’s the hammer:
Family-wide enforcement: If any account in your Steam Family cheats on a shared ARC Raiders license, everyone gets restricted. The ban spreads like wildfire.
License owner busted? They can’t share ARC Raiders anymore. Shared players? Kick ‘em from the family and buy your own copy—or say bye-bye to raiding.
No escape hatch: Even if you boot the cheater account, the ban sticks. Pure genius to stop the "burner alt" scam.
| Feature | Old Way (Cheater Heaven) | New Way (Cheater Hell) |
| Bypassing Bans | Cheat on burner → Ban burner → Swap to clean main | Cheat on anything → Entire family restricted |
| Financial Cost | $0 extra | Full $40 repurchase + ragequit |
| Result | Lobbies ruined forever | Fair raids restored! |
The Controversial Three-Strike System – Lenient or Smart?
Not all sunshine. Embark’s three-strike bans (30 days → 60 days → permaban) have fans fuming. "One and done!" they cry on Steam forums.
My take? It’s a solid middle ground. False positives happen—this gives appeals time. But yeah, blatant wallhacks deserve the axe on strike one. Pair it with Family Sharing nukes, and repeat offenders are donezo anyway. Embark, listen up: Tighten it, and you’ll have god-tier trust.
Streamers are hit hardest. TheBurntPeanut nearly quit after non-stop cheater deaths on stream. Shroud blasted Embark: "0 control over their game—50% of lobbies cheating!" Ninja piled on too. Embark responded with streamer matchmaking delays—smart, but this Family change? Chef's kiss.
What’s Next? Shrouded Sky Hype Train Incoming
Embark’s not stopping. Weekly patches keep ARC Raiders fresh, and February’s Shrouded Sky mega-update is pure chaos fuel:
New map condition: Visibility nerfed—skies shrouded, forcing sneaky plays.
Fresh ARC threat: Bigger, badder bots to dodge.
Raider Deck drop: Free cosmetics, gadgets, tokens—grind-worthy!
Map refresh + Player Project: Revamped zones and new builds.
Exact date is TBA, but expect late February with the Expedition window. Prediction: Paired with better anti-cheat, this’ll spike player counts to new highs. 960k concurrents last month? Buckle up.
Time to Raid Clean – Embark’s Winning the War!
These Steam Family Sharing changes are a massive W in the ARC Raiders cheater crackdown. Combined with detection upgrades, it’s restoring the thrill of legit raids—loot, extract, repeat without the BS.
But Embark, go harder on strikes one and two. Fans want perma-bans for hacks, not second chances.
