Arena Breakout: Infinite Bans Cheaters in Closed Beta
Last Updated: October 30, 2025
The battle for a fair playing field is in full swing as developer MoreFun Studios makes good on its promises, cracking down hard on cheaters in the closed beta for its highly anticipated PC extraction shooter, Arena Breakout: Infinite. In a clear and ongoing effort to maintain competitive integrity, the game's security team has been actively enforcing a "0% tolerance policy," issuing significant ban waves that underscore their commitment to protecting the high-stakes experience from illicit players.
A Zero-Tolerance Policy in Action
Even before the closed beta launched in May 2024, MoreFun Studios drew a firm line in the sand. The security team’s initial statements laid out a clear commitment to the game's stability, a promise now being put to the test. "That is why we have a 0% tolerance policy for any instances of rule breaking that occurs within the game," the developers stated, a message that has resonated as players have seen it enforced. This proactive and aggressive stance is a direct response to one of the biggest challenges in the genre: ensuring a cheater-free environment. Unlike a mere promise, players are now witnessing the policy in action, with any account caught violating the rules being dealt with swiftly and decisively via permanent bans.
What Constitutes a Bannable Offense?
MoreFun Studios has been transparent about the actions that trigger an immediate security response. The primary targets are, of course, players using "plug-ins or unauthorized apps"—standard terminology for third-party software like aimbots, wallhacks, and other unfair advantages.
However, the enforcement goes deeper, targeting the ecosystem that allows cheaters to thrive. The developers are also actively banning players for "intentionally collaborating with a player who's using plug-ins." This means that knowingly grouping with a cheater to benefit from their exploits is considered a bannable offense, holding squad mates accountable. This policy aims to dismantle the support systems for cheaters and has been a key part of the ongoing ban waves during the beta. While the policy is clear, community discussions have also highlighted the complexity of modern anti-cheat, with some players reporting bans after using third-party networking tools or GPNs, suggesting the system is highly sensitive to any external software interacting with the game client.
The High-Stakes Battle for Fair Play
For a high-stakes game like Arena Breakout: Infinite, a robust anti-cheat system isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of the entire player experience. The extraction shooter genre, dominated by titles like Escape from Tarkov, is defined by its punishing risk-reward loop where losing gear to a suspicious death is uniquely frustrating. A single cheater can invalidate hours of a legitimate player's progress and erode trust in the game's core mechanics.
By taking this aggressive, public stance and backing it up with action during the crucial beta phase, the Arena Breakout: Infinite team is sending a clear message: they understand the stakes. They are demonstrating a commitment to preventing the rampant cheating that has plagued other titles in the genre, aiming to secure player confidence before the game's full launch.
Building Trust Through Action (and Controversy)
This proactive enforcement is a critical step in building a healthy and sustainable community. In a competitive market, a game's reputation for fair play is paramount. News of effective anti-cheat can be a powerful marketing tool, while a failure to control cheating can kill a game's momentum.
The community's response to the ban waves has been largely positive, as it shows the developers are listening to their most pressing concerns. However, as with any aggressive anti-cheat initiative, the campaign has not been without controversy. Pockets of the community have raised concerns about potential false positives, a common and difficult challenge for developers to navigate. How MoreFun Studios investigates these claims and communicates with its player base will be just as important as the bans themselves. As Arena Breakout: Infinite continues through its beta testing, this unwavering commitment to security—and its fair implementation—will remain a key factor in its ability to attract and retain a dedicated player base confident that their investment of time and effort is protected.
