ARC Raiders Cheat Setup, Requirements and Fixes

ARC Raiders cheat requirements

What your PC and your copy of ARC Raiders need before the first launch. The first list applies to every build we make; the second is specific to ARC Raiders.

Every build

A Windows 10 or 11 PC. There is no macOS, Linux or console version of any build. Getting started
A Discord account. Setup runs through the Discord, and Barry answers there around the clock.
The game installed through a supported launcher and fully updated before you load in.
Borderless or windowed display mode. Exclusive fullscreen is not supported and is the usual reason an overlay flickers or vanishes. Overlay settings
No boot-time anti-cheat from another game installed, such as Riot Vanguard, FACEIT or ESEA. They can stop the loader from opening. Loader will not open
No HTTPS interception software (Fiddler, mitmproxy) or its certificates on the PC. The anti-leak system flags them. Remove Fiddler certificates

How to set up the ARC Raiders cheat

Setup is the same four steps on every title, and most people are in a match within a few minutes of paying.

1 Pay, then open the onboarding email that arrives the moment payment clears. Check spam if it is not in your inbox. Getting started
2 Join the Elocarry Discord. Your licence and Discord role are granted automatically.
3 Run the one command from the onboarding email in normal PowerShell as administrator (not the x86 version and not PowerShell 7). It launches the loader.
4 Follow the loader, start the game, then open the in-game menu with the hotkey the loader shows. Every feature is a toggle and your settings save to your account.

Before your first ARC Raiders match

Bind Battlemode to a key you can reach mid-fight. It strips the overlay down and can hide the machines when the fight is raider against raider.
Set loot ranges by rarity: Legendary from a long way off, Common only when it is close enough to pick up.
Keep the FOV tight and the smoothing up for player fights, and put the wider setup for machines on the second aim key.

ARC Raiders cheat not working?

Check live status first: after a ARC Raiders update the build is paused until it is rebuilt, and that is the most common reason nothing loads. Then work through the fixes below.

Your copy is on the Epic Games Store

ARC Raiders is sold on Epic too, but that version is not on our supported list. Ask in Discord before buying rather than assume it will load.

The build is down after an update

Embark patches ARC Raiders often. The build is rebuilt as soon as Embark patches the game or either protection changes, and sales pause until it is back.

Why cheats stop working after updates

Fixes that work on every title

Nothing works after a game patch

Check live status first. Builds are paused while they are rebuilt after an update, and loading a paused build is the fastest way to waste a session or risk a ban. Live status
The loader will not open

Update Windows, uninstall boot-time anti-cheats (Vanguard, FACEIT, ESEA), run the command from normal PowerShell as administrator and make sure the Windows clock is synced. Loader will not open
The menu or ESP is not showing

Switch the game to borderless or windowed, turn off overlays that draw on top (the NVIDIA or AMD overlay, Discord clipping, Overwolf), keep the Discord overlay or RTSS set up as the setup guide says, then restart and re-inject. If the F5 debug console opens, the build is running and the problem is the overlay layer. ESP or overlay not showing
FPS drops, stutter or overlay crashes

Enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling, install current NVIDIA or AMD drivers, cap FPS to your refresh rate and turn off replay and clipping tools. Overlay performance and crash fix
The loader will not authenticate

An out-of-sync clock is the usual cause. Turn on automatic time and time zone in Windows, then sync. Connection errors are often fixed by the DNS and IPv6 steps. Fix your system clock

ARC Raiders anti-cheat

ARC Raiders on Steam runs Easy Anti-Cheat alongside Denuvo. The build is polymorphic, so its signature changes on every launch, and it is rebuilt as soon as Embark patches the game or either protection changes.

What Is Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC)? How It Works

ARC Raiders updates and the build

Embark updates ARC Raiders often. If an update takes the build down, sales pause until it is back rather than selling something that does not work, and long downtime may be covered by the compensation policy.

What each ARC Raiders feature does

Each feature has its own page with the real options from the ARC Raiders menu, captures from the live build and the settings players use. The full option-by-option list is on the ARC Raiders page.
