As mentioned recently in our Ensuring Fair Play article, we want to continue improving our anti-cheat solutions and more accurately detect foul play across the Rust Belt.

Following a positive rollout in THE FINALS, Denuvo Anti-Cheat will also come to ARC Raiders starting May 19th, initially to a limited player pool, with plans to expand after close monitoring.

We will not be using Denuvo's Digital Rights Management (DRM) service, and are working to ensure minimal impact on performance.

With Denuvo Anti-Cheat and Anybrain, we are working to strengthen ARC Raiders' systems even further. Keep sending us reports of any information that you believe might help us do so, it's highly appreciated.

    The article mentioned that they did the same thing with The Finals, and that game has reports on protondb saying it's working fine as recently as two days ago.

    I'm hopeful this won't be a problem based on that, but I don't know for sure.

    Will the game still work on Linux?

    Considering The Finals does, I would be surprised if they implemented it in Arc Raiders in a different way that broke Linux installs.

    I'm less worried about the technical implementation and how it works, than if they just decide to not support it. Sometimes the technical side could work, but they make decision to not support Linux.

    The Finals is the game I spend the most time in, I havent noticed issues in performance and honestly didnt know about denuvo being there until now.

    Still not stoked to hear they are getting business from embark though.

    Isn't this an online only game? What's the point of Denuvo in such situation?

    they're adding Denuvo anti-cheat (boo) but doesn't look like it would affect linux (yay!)

    would love to play this on my steam machine whenever it launches

    TL;DR:

    • New trader "Ermal" expands stash, stores items to keep after reset, weekly rotation of cosmetics, blueprints, raider tokens, items for projects
    • New weapon "Rascal" grenade launcher
    • Cloak power cost reduced by half
    • Bettina fire rate increased
    • Tactical Mk3 healing cloud buffed (aoe and more healing), cooldown increased
    • Weapon mods can affect ads speed
    • Durability changes:
