Cheating Concerns in Escape From Tarkov Arena

Less than a week after the closed beta launch of Escape From Tarkov Arena, the game is already grappling with an issue of cheaters infiltrating its player base. This comes as some of the top cheat developers extend their products to the new game.

Expansion of Cheating Products

Several well-known cheat providers have swiftly introduced products specifically designed for Escape From Tarkov Arena. Interestingly, these cheats seem to mirror the standard ones used in the original Escape From Tarkov game, indicating a seamless transition for cheat developers.

Evident Cheating Instances

In the past couple of days, video clips showcasing blatant instances of cheating have surfaced online, shedding light on the prevalence of cheats available for the new game. Some cheaters exhibit a lack of discretion, employing obvious aimbots and wall hacks. Additionally, there’s a spectrum of less conspicuous cheats, including radar hacks.

Escalation of Cheating Issue

Escape From Tarkov has grappled with cheating issues for a considerable period, but the introduction of the kill cam feature in Arena has exacerbated the problem. In the main game, suspicions of encountering a cheater could often be attributed to lucky shots. However, in Arena, cheaters stand out more conspicuously due to the visibility of their movements.

Potential Advantage Amid Preset System Issues

Interestingly, the broken preset system in Arena, causing challenges for many players, might inadvertently provide an advantage against cheaters. Some cheaters opt for low-level weapons, relying on instant headshots. Players with robust presets and superior armor might stand a chance against these cheaters, giving them a window to retaliate before their bullets penetrate the armor.

Reporting Cheaters in Escape From Tarkov Arena

Players encountering cheaters in Escape From Tarkov Arena have the option to report them. This can be done during the post-match screen by swiping across to the scoreboard, clicking on the cheater’s name, and accessing a menu to report them for cheating. While Battlestate Games, the developers, actively ban cheaters, the consistent launch of new cheats poses an ongoing challenge for the Tarkov community, and it seems that Arena will face a similar fate.
