知名主播Nadeshot對當前作弊狀況進行了嚴厲批評，他表示，《Arc Raiders》中的作弊者問題規模可能已經超過了《決勝時刻》（Call of Duty）和《戰爭地帶》（Warzone）最糟糕的時期。據他所說，他幾乎無法完成任何一次突襲任務而不遇到可疑賬號——這些賬號常常是零級Steam賬號，或是已有VAC封禁記錄的賬號。
My experience on Arc Raiders over the last week has been hell. Just to be clear, I love this game and think it’s already moved in to my personal top 10 all time. But the egregious amount of cheating genuinely might be worse than peak Call of Duty. I’m not trying to bring negativity to the game because I know this type of dialogue can spread on socials like a disease but I genuinely cannot get through an entire raid without a steam profile that is level 0 or an account that has multiple game bans and VAC bans on record. I promise I’m not trying to be self righteous by telling Embark what to do next, but I think the only option they have to protect the success of this game is similar to how Epic handled Fortnite in the past — legitimate legal action against providers and individuals who are actively supplying and using cheating software. I know it’s just a game and a lot of players may not even encounter experiences like this because of the PvE and aggression based MMR but holy cow gentlemen, I’m at war and I’m getting absolutely pummeled for 8 hours straight every day. Hours and hours of looting, crafting and investment of time and resources wiped out raid after raid, over and over again. If you made it this far and read everything, I appreciate you. I apologize for sounding like a whiny, privileged streamer but I just needed to vent somewhere else other than the stream. One day I’ll come to terms with the fact that cheating in video games has reached the point in time where it is impossible for the devs to keep up with the providers but until then, I’m just going to keep complaining.
這位主播提出了一個解決這一問題的激進方案。他呼籲Embark Studios的開發者借鑑Epic Games在《堡壘之夜（Fortnite）》崛起時期的經驗。並稱他們保護這款遊戲成功的唯一途徑……就是針對那些積極提供和使用作弊軟體的供應商和個人提起合法訴訟。
Haag強調，在提取類射擊遊戲中，這一問題尤為突出。與普通對戰不同，玩家在這裡會因作弊者而損失數小時用於收集戰利品和製作物品的時間，這使得被作弊者擊殺的後果格外令人痛心。目前，遊戲社區正等待Embark Studios的回應，因為許多玩家都證實了主播的說法，抱怨在遊戲過程的最後階段到處都是使用「外掛」的用戶。
