Executive producer Aleksander Grondal said the studio uses Denuvo kernel-level protection, Anybrain detection, and in-house machine learning models, and is weighing Elytra. Team-focused penalties cut queue teaming by 85 percent, and the share of raids affected fell from about 1 in 50 to about 1 in 300.","whyItMatters":"Embark's numbers give a public benchmark for how a studio can attack queue teaming, an exploit that distorts the solo mode of an extraction shooter, before a major update resets the game's population.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eEmbark Studios published a status update on cheat and exploit countermeasures in ARC Raiders on October 1, a week before the game\u0026#39;s major update on October 8. Executive producer Aleksander Grondal said the studio spends significant time and money on the problem, and that it sometimes withholds detail so cheaters cannot respond. Detection stacks Denuvo kernel-level protection, Anybrain, and in-house machine learning models. Separately, measures against queue teaming, where players enter a match together to attack solo Raiders, have cut teaming activity by 85 percent and reduced the share of affected raids from about 1 in 50 to about 1 in 300.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Embark Studios' 85 percent teaming drop comes with an unfalsifiable metric: raid share fell from 1 in 50 to 1 in 300.
