News Summary

• Arc Raiders developer Embark has announced it’s stepping up its anti-cheating policies yet again.
• In January of this year the studio declared it was going to start issuing permanent bans to its worst cheaters.
• From now on, says Embark, there will be “no warnings, no second chances,” with anyone caught cheating being immediately permabanned.
• October 8's update is called Frozen Trail, adding a new chilly map called Pendola Pass, a massive ship called the Frigate to break into, and a group of new enemies.
• Expect new weapons as well, and most excitingly (to me) a grappling hook, useful both for retrieving distant items and as a new means of traversal.
