Arc Raiders studio is returning loot to players who get hosed by cheaters: 'We're committed to building an environment where gameplay is about skill, teamwork, and fun'

Ark Raiders Marked for Death - Buried City.

Cheaters are the bane of pretty much every competitive multiplayer videogame in existence. It never really made much sense to me because it doesn't seem like much fun—it's a lot of work just to grief some random guy, which when you get right down to it is really all that's happening—but some people just can't help themselves. And for the rest of us, it sucks.

It really sucks in a game like Arc Raiders, where falling victim to cheaters means the loss of all the stuff you worked so hard to earn: It's not just damaging to your ego, it has a material impact on your future fortunes. But Embark Studios is not without sympathy, and it seems that in at least some cases, your loot will be returned to you if it was lost to a cheater.
