Cheating in Arc Raiders: Basic Rules for Safe Play

Hey, cheaters, welcome everyone!

WOLFi here, and today we're going to touch on a sensitive topic that concerns everyone, especially those who are considering using cheats for the first time.

Using cheats is a controversial topic in the world of video games. Many players resort to them to gain an advantage, but in doing so risk getting banned or losing their reputation. If you've decided to use cheats, it's important to do so as carefully and responsibly as possible.

What is legit play?

Legit play (from the word "legit" — legitimate, honest) with cheats is when a player uses software assistance while trying to maintain the most natural and inconspicuous playstyle possible. The main goal is to gain a small advantage without becoming a "bot cheater" who clearly disrupts the balance and draws attention.

Features of legit play with cheats:

• Restraint in cheat usage: not all cheat functions are active at all times.
• Mimicking human behavior: enabling randomization, delays, and other parameters to simulate natural reactions.
• Minimizing obvious advantages: no instant kills, making it impossible to be spotted by "cheater-detecting" techniques.

What you can do

Use aimbot with limited accuracy and speed. For example, aim only at large hit areas (body, head — but with some spread), and add pauses and delays in aiming.

Enable randomness in movement and shooting. This helps avoid suspicion and makes gameplay less predictable.

Limit the use of ESP and wallhack functions to the minimum necessary level. For example, do not constantly see through walls, but only in rare situations.

Disable cheats in social and public matches where players are strictly monitored.

What you cannot do

Use cheats with maximum accuracy and reaction speed. Instant kills and aimbots without delay are a direct path to a ban.

Play too aggressively and show unnatural results. If your stats differ sharply from normal, it will immediately raise suspicion.

Display cheats publicly — via streams, videos, or communication with other players.

Ignore anti-cheat updates and use outdated cheat versions.

Use only private cheats

One of the key rules is choosing private, meaning closed and personal cheats. Unlike public ones available to everyone, private cheats are developed for a limited group of users and usually include unique anti-detection methods.

Why is this important? Free cheats are quickly detected and blocked by game protection systems. Using such programs almost guarantees a ban.

How to find private cheats? You can purchase them from our website — only verified developers. It is important to remember that even private cheats do not provide a 100% safety guarantee.

Avoid obvious signs of cheating

Even the best cheat can raise suspicion if it noticeably stands out.

Do not use functions that heavily break game balance. For example, instant kills or wall vision attract attention.

Your playstyle should remain natural. If you suddenly start showing unrealistic performance, other players and moderators will immediately question it.

Do not advertise cheat usage. Do not discuss it publicly, do not take screenshots with cheats, and do not brag about unfair achievements.

Be careful with cheat settings

Many cheats allow fine-tuning to reduce detection risk.

Adjust settings to your style. For example, reduce aimbot speed or enable movement randomness to simulate human behavior.

Use cheats selectively. You do not need to enable all features at once — sometimes partial use is enough.

Keep cheats updated. Private cheat developers regularly release updates to bypass new anti-cheat systems, so using the latest version is important.

Be mindful of your behavior

Player behavior is one of the main factors others use to suspect cheating.

Do not show superhuman reactions. If your actions look too fast and precise, suspicion arises immediately.

Try to maintain a natural playstyle. Play as if you are not using cheats: make mistakes, and do not always hit your target on the first shot.

Do not overuse cheats in key moments. For example, do not rely on aimbot throughout the entire match, only in critical situations.

Do not draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Players and admins notice those who stand out too much.

Openly demonstrating cheating significantly increases the risk of detection and punishment.

Do not record videos while using cheats. Even if you do not plan to publish them, they may end up in moderators’ hands.

Avoid streaming and live broadcasts. During streams it is hard to control everything, and viewers may quickly notice suspicious actions.

Be careful with saving demos and replays. In some games these files may be automatically checked by anti-cheat systems.

Using cheats always involves risk. If you still decide to try, you should approach it carefully: choose private tools, avoid obvious gameplay imbalance, and fine-tune the cheat settings properly. Only this way you can reduce the chance of a ban and keep enjoying the game.
