UPDATED ANTI-CHEAT IN ABI

Arena Breakout: Infinite strengthens anti-cheat: DMA Guard, data encryption, and new checks

Developers of Arena Breakout: Infinite discussed major changes to the security system in Season 6. The main focus was on combating DMA cheats, radars, wallhacks, aimbots, and players who intentionally team up with violators.

At the same time, the team clarified how temporary bans work, compensations for deaths caused by cheaters, and which programs may conflict with the anti-cheat.

New protection technologies

The main change is three major anti-cheat updates: DMA Guard, dynamic encryption of player positions, and improved AI behavior analysis.

• DMA Guard is designed to combat hardware DMA cheats. The system monitors suspicious external devices attempting to access game memory. The technology is being gradually deployed to minimize impact on regular users.

• Simultaneously, ABI began encrypting player location data in real-time. Keys and data structures are constantly changing, which should significantly complicate the work of radars and some types of wallhacks.

• The third direction is the updated AI analysis. The system has received more game data for training and should now more accurately distinguish normal behavior from aimbots and area damage cheats.

Developers are also conducting separate checks on suspicious accounts in leaderboards. DMA, radars, and wallhacks were named among the key issues targeted by the new mechanisms.

Bans, reports, and compensations

The team separately explained the mechanics of temporary bans. A ban for 1, 3, or 7 days does not mean that cheating has already been confirmed. Such restrictions may trigger due to an abnormal device environment or suspicious data.

If further investigation confirms a violation, the account may receive a 10-year ban.

Changes also affected the report system. After submitting a complaint, the player receives a notification, and through the Security Center, they can check its status and information about penalties.

Compensation for death by a cheater is automatically credited if the violator receives a ban for 30 days or more. It is not necessary to send a report for this: the system checks their past matches and returns lost equipment to affected players. Some compensations arrive the next day, while some cases may undergo additional verification.

Groups with cheaters will also be punished

The anti-cheat now analyzes not only an individual suspicious player but also their squad.

Developers are creating profiles of groups that regularly play with cheaters. If it is confirmed that players are consciously using a violator for an advantage, the penalty can range from 30 days to 10 years for all involved accounts. bFTv7HGGN5A

The team also refuted rumors that cheats can easily disguise themselves as regular programs. According to the developers, infiltration through third-party processes and similar bypass methods are already accounted for by the detection system.

Which software to disable before launching ABI

Along with the anti-cheat update, developers reminded about programs and hardware that may conflict with the security system.

• During the game, it is prohibited to use DMA devices, KMBox, hardware macros, Cheat Engine, debuggers, AutoHotkey, Python scripts for automation, Speed Gear, virtual machines, and similar tools.

• A separate group consists of software that is not directly prohibited but is not recommended to run simultaneously with the game. This includes AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Parsec, Moonlight, Sunshine, RenderDoc, NVIDIA Nsight, and some AI tools.

The presence of such programs does not automatically mean a ban, but their operation alongside Arena Breakout: Infinite may cause errors, trigger protection, or account restrictions.

Developers emphasize that fighting cheaters is not just about mass bans. The main goal is to gradually block the methods cheats use and complicate their further use. The team also recommends not sharing accounts with others, using different passwords for the game and email, and enabling an additional password within the client.
