Fair Play Update
Quote From ARC Raiders While our dev team is hard at work putting the finishing touches on Frozen Trail, our Anti-Cheat team is making constant updates and improvements across the board to our Fair Play initiatives.
When it comes to economy-related manipulation, there have been several ban waves for accounts we detected exhibiting "bot-like" behavior. We’ll continue to track and refine our detection to cover broader types of suspect behavior (such as XP farming) in the future, as well. We also continue sanctioning abnormally high-value item transfers. Item duplication is also on our minds, and we’re seeing positive outcomes following this summer’s ongoing improvements on that front.We are constantly working on ways to prevent serial cheaters and discourage them from returning. Currently, we're strengthening our policies when it comes to shared licenses and how those are restricted when an account is sanctioned. In practice, this will make it harder for cheaters who were detected on one account to purchase another. Keeping track of a cheater's behavior before and after receiving a sanction helps us anticipate it and act faster in the future.Previously, we mentioned the speed of action against unfair play is important to us. To that end, we have been improving our detection systems and we are extending first-strike permanent bans. This allows us to catch offenders much quicker with a very high degree of confidence.While we keep improving and expanding the ways we keep Topside fair, we want to thank you for helping us do that by reporting players and sharing any illicit behavior with us.
When is the Frozen Trail First Look?
The big draw here is what's coming next. The team is holding a First Look at Frozen Trail on September 23rd at 10am PDT (7pm CEST), teasing an extended peek at what's being described as the biggest update yet. If you missed the earlier tease, this is the one to circle on your calendar.
