Marathon targets another Arc Raiders weakness, boldly stating that cheaters will be "permabanned" with "no second chances"

Bungie's flipping of gamers' perceptions of Marathon needs to be studied. Sure, some massively more polished gameplay has gone a long way into changing the narrative, but so too has the way in which it's targeted some of players' biggest critiques of extraction shooter juggernaut Arc Raiders. I personally adore Embark's game, and I think the two will be able to coexist, but Bungie has really drummed up support (especially from hardcore shooter fans) by exposing some of Arc Raiders' weaknesses. The Marathon team is at it again, today confirming that cheaters will not be given second chances and will be banned from the game "forever" if they're caught. There's also some interesting anti-cheat tech under the hood, including a player client "fog of war" that can reduce the efficacy of wall hacks and loot-scanning cheats. Read the rest of the story...
