Quick answer: Yes, ARC Raiders bans can be overturned, but it depends on what triggered it in the first place. If you were falsely flagged for automation, cheats or as a result of an account compromise, you stand a high chance at getting the ban removed.
Key takeaways
- Most bans fall into a few buckets: cheats or overlays, account sharing or boosting, toxic behavior, payment or charge issues, and compromised accounts.
- Reviews look for a consistent defense plus evidence, like clean file checks, match IDs, device info, and proof of ownership.
- Compromise or false-positive cases have better odds than confirmed cheat use.
- If your device is restricted in addition to the account, you’ll need to appeal the HWID ban as well.

The percentages come from our ticket-volume dataset. For the official rules, see Nexon’s Terms of Service.
- Cheats, automation, or disallowed overlays – 47%
- Account sharing or boosting – 21%
- Toxicity or griefing – 12%
- Payment and marketplace abuse – 9%
- Compromised or stolen accounts – 8%
- Other policy violations or repeat offenses – 3%
Anti-cheat combines a client-side watcher with server telemetry. That means even if a cheat avoids detection locally, server stats, replay reviews, and player reports, it can and likely will still flag the account. VPN hops or sudden device changes can also trigger extra checks.
Can You Unban an ARC Raiders Account?
| Offense | Odds | Evidence to Provide |
| False cheat flag, clean client | High | Fresh launcher verify, file hashes, anti-cheat scan result, exact match IDs and timestamps |
| Compromised account (hacked) | High | Proof of ownership, IP history, 2FA enabled now, inbox screenshots of “new device” alerts |
| Boosting | Medium | Travel or LAN party proof if legitimate; consistent device logs; clear plan to secure access |
| Toxicity or grief reports | Medium | Match IDs, VODs for context, acknowledgement and behavior-change and reformation plan |
| Payment / marketplace abuse | Low | Official receipts, bank proof, removal of disputed items, willingness to forfeit gains |
| Repeated or blatant cheats | Low | Clean environment proof |
Evidence Checklist
- Match identifiers and timestamps for the session that triggered the ban;
- Launcher “verify files” result showing zero corrupt files;
- File hashes (MD5 or SHA-256) of key executables after a clean reinstall;
- System info snapshot (dxdiag or MSInfo) to show standard drivers and no injectors;
- Anti-cheat logs or reference IDs if exposed by the client;
- Ownership proof if compromise is suspected: original purchase or platform receipts, first login dates, unique character info;
- Network traces (WinMTR or PingPlotter) if the incident involved disconnects or lag accusations;
- Security hardening: password changes, 2FA enabled, revoked third-party access.
How to Submit an ARC Raiders Ban Appeal
Similarly to The Finals bans, since they share the same developer, here’s how you can get unbanned from ARC Raiders:
- go to the official Embark Games Support Page here and log into your account;
- click on the “Create a ticket here” button on the upper right side of the page;
- in the chat window, select “Ban Appeals”, followed by “In-Game Ban”;
- input the ban error message you see when trying to log into ARC Raiders, such as “TFLA0004”;
- Write all relevant information regarding your ban in the “Describe the issue you’re experiencing” field – timing, what you were doing, any work related software you were running, as well as why the detection was wrongful. Or skip the hassle and let us handle it for you!
Once that’s done, simply press send on the chat message and your ban appeal will be sent to Embark Games.
Helpful Tips Before You Click “Submit”
- Provide identifiers. If possible, include your game ID, platform, and the date and time of the last successful login;
- Attach proof up front. Hashes, verify logs, and match IDs should be in the first ticket, not sent later;
- Acknowledge outcomes you accept. If items, skins, or currency were involved, state you accept removal in exchange for account access;
- Keep it one ticket at a time. Duplicates slow review and can auto-close older threads;
- Lock your security first. Change e-mail and game account / Steam passwords, enable 2FA, revoke third-party access, then appeal;
- No accusations. Avoid blaming others; stick to your evidence and timeline.
ARC Raiders Ban FAQ
No. Enforcement sits server-side. Clean files help prove innocence for future review, but they do not auto-unban an account.
A VPN alone usually does not, but sudden region hops tied to high-ranked lobbies often trigger extra checks. If you travel, include itinerary or IP history in your appeal.
If your HWID is banned alongside your ARC Raiders account, new accounts from the same device will be restricted from playing the game. Focus your ticket on the original account and provide clean-system proof.
Overlays that inject into the client or read protected memory can be treated like cheats. If you used analytics or FPS tools, include their names, versions, and uninstall steps in your ticket.
There is no fixed timeline. You will get one final status reply when the review is done. Multiple follow-ups do not speed it up.
