ARC Raiders Swings the Ban Hammer at Cheaters With Denuvo and Anybrain in Update 1.42.0

Embark Studios shipped ARC Raiders update 1.42.0 on August 18 and used it to confirm an anti-cheat crackdown. Working with Anybrain and Denuvo Anti-Cheat, the studio says it banned a large batch of accounts running recently popular cheat software, and it is tightening detection of economy exploits, teaming, and matchmaking abuse. The patch also offsets map conditions by region instead of a single global schedule, so players outside peak-hour timezones stop missing timed events.
