I have over 400 hours in Arc Raiders and was abruptly banned due to their "anti cheat" system detecting abnormal gameplay. I have never cheated in any game in my life nor would one expect to play this long and just now be detected. There is no logic, specific behavior, or scenario provided with there system for the ban.

3/20/2026: Embark Studios is a joke. One of the worst studios out there at the moment. They do not care about you. They only care about profits. They grossed over $400 million off of Arc Raiders and they use AI for their anti-cheat, their support and take a hands off approach to doing literally anything a dev studio should be doing. They do not have a human team. Who's bright idea was it to have a wonky automated anti-cheat that will ban you for something as simple as plugging in a mouse or using an app on your PC in the background that HAS NOTHING DO DO WITH gaming or exploits. You will be banned for no reason, no reason at all no matter how much money or time you invested in their product. You get nothing but the same automated response. They will not give you a reason of why you were banned...only an automated response along the lines of "you violated our TOS". Okay, how? Explain, explain what I did? Don't give us an automated AI chatbot and put our ticket in a multi-month hold or ban use wrongly. Embark will ban a disabled player using a Quadstick but will not ban the actual players using legit exploits or hacks. They want you to pay $40 for their product, buy their overmonitized slop in-game and when you get falsely banned they basically tell you to deal with it. Absolutely one of the worst dev studios out there at the moment. Do not give this studio any more money. They do not deserve it. 4/07/2026 update: It happened to me finally. They really do have a problem with false bans and AI automated support. I'm bit of a sweaty player, I know. But I haven't really done anything against TOS? I don't even really VOIP too much unless I need to. I don't scream slurs or foul words but I do take out Raiders and take loot. At most I make baby noises to them and tell them to have good luck next time. At most my strats are "toxic" but it's all within TOS of the game. No clue what I did here to deserve it. Last 2 matches I killed people and boom, automated ban mid-match. I reached out to support and I know that AI didn't review anything on my account. It was an automated response, it didn't look at a thing. You can't even talk to a human being. I didn't even do anything man. "Observed behavior results in an unfair advantage over other players. Because it undermines fair play, it interferes with other players' use and enjoyment of the game, which is a violation of our TOS". Okay, but what did I do? I did nothing to break TOS. If I could give them 0 stars I would.

Ps5 Arc Raiders Ban for nothing... waiting for reply . any ai answer 0 humana .

Loved them before I got instantly perma-banned with no waring or proof. Went to support and they said their systems detected Iwas using cheating software and tools. All their responses are scripted. There was no way to even attempt to appeal the ban even though there's no possible way I cheated. My stats are trash too, it's not like I had a good game and got banned. Terrible customer service... if there's even people running it. No longer want to play Embark games. With regards to Arc Raiders, I also had a glitch and didnt receive my rewards for trials that I did alongsidemy partner. They said I needed to complete the trial to get the reward... everything is an automated response and nothing I said was actually responded to.

Embark studios has taken a hands-off approach to customer concerns. They don't address them. That's the hands-off part. The whole system is automated, with no way for a customer to contact an ACTUAL person regarding a specific matter. Imagine how successful they would be with actual customer support. The entire world knows they can afford it.

They do not address issues with their servers and allow cheating.

I opened a ticket and waited 4 months. For it to get closed without a Response

Scamming company Worst customer support ive had in my life, 5 AI messages and then tell me they dont care and cancel my request.
