Arc Raiders preparing new kernel-level anti-cheat to blast cheaters out of the sky and "sharpen both detection and precision"

If you're getting tired of Arc Raiders players hitting you with eight consecutive headshots through smoke from 200 meters, or outright spawning escape hatches, developer Embark Studios has good news for you.

In an anti-cheat blog post, Embark says it's testing "a new kernel-level solution that we expect will sharpen both detection and precision throughout Speranza and the Rust Belt." This will seemingly sit alongside or on top of the existing kernel-level Easy Anti-Cheat, as well as the game's broader machine learning-informed detection and "several additional layers" Embark won't explain for "operational security" reasons.
