ARC Raiders uses two anti-cheat layers: Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) and Anybrain, a behavioral AI system developed by Embark Studios. Anybrain is fundamentally different from traditional anti-cheat tools and requires a different approach to avoid detection.

​
How Anybrain works

Anybrain is not signature-based — it doesn’t look for cheat files or known patterns. Instead, it analyzes how you play. It builds a behavioral fingerprint from:
  • Mouse movement patterns
  • Reaction times
  • Keystroke timing
Humans are inherently imperfect. We have micro-jitters in hand movement, we overshoot targets, we hesitate. Anybrain’s model is built around these human imperfections. An aimbot, by contrast, moves in linear trajectories, locks onto a target’s head, and stays there with zero deviation — even when the target is jumping or strafing. That’s statistically impossible for a human hand to produce. If your crosshair snaps to a target in 12 milliseconds with perfect deceleration, Anybrain can flag it instantly. You don’t get caught running cheat software — you get caught being “too good to be true.”

​
How to stay undetected

Anybrain was not fully enabled during the first weeks after ARC Raiders launched, but it is likely now active. Treat it as always-on.
Turn smoothing up high and use the aimbot infrequently. These two changes have the biggest impact on Anybrain detection.
  • Use high smoothness — removes the linear snap-to patterns that Anybrain flags
  • Use the aimbot selectively — constant target tracking on every enemy is a clear behavioral signal
  • Change your aimbot keybind away from RMB — binding to right mouse button means the aimbot tracks every time you ADS, which is excessive and detectable. Use a different key so you can choose exactly when to activate it
  • Vary your play — miss shots intentionally, vary reaction times, don’t snap to every target
