Ninja claims that 99% of Arc Raiders players are unaware of the cheating issues he faces, leading to his concerns being overlooked.

Ninja, one of the most renowned video game streamers, has voiced his frustrations about encountering a staggering number of cheaters in Arc Raiders, a problem that many casual players seem to be oblivious to. He believes that his concerns are largely ignored because the majority of players aren’t facing the same issues.

“Unfortunately, 99% of the people that are playing this game are not even coming close to running into a fraction of the amount of cheaters that we are, so it’s falling on deaf ears a lot,” Ninja expressed during a recent stream. “There’s a lot of the community that think we’re just complaining, but they just don’t understand, right?”

He claims that “the same people” are consistently tracking his streams, matching up with him, and cheating their way to victories “every single day.”

“The majority of people just don’t understand,” he added.

Ninja’s assertion highlights a disconnect between his experiences and those of the broader player base, with many dismissing his frustrations as mere whining. Meanwhile, developer Embark has taken note of the rising complaints and has promised “significant changes to our rulesets” along with “new detection mechanisms” to tackle the cheating problem. This comes despite the Arc Raiders community generally being known for its positive and supportive atmosphere.

It’s important to consider that Ninja primarily engages in PvP when streaming Arc Raiders, and the game’s aggression-based matchmaking likely places him in servers with similarly competitive players, which can include cheaters. Fans are hopeful that Embark’s upcoming improvements will help reduce the number of cheaters affecting both Ninja and the wider player community.

“Will this blow up the server?”: Arc Raiders players are so skilled at defeating Arc that Embark is contemplating ways to “escalate” PvE, with hints of a Shredder escape and “the giant walking ones in the background.”
