“Coordinated DDoS Attacks Target Arc Raiders and The Finals”
Embark Studios has reported coordinated DDoS attacks affecting both Arc Raiders and The Finals. These attacks have caused significant instability in the games, prompting immediate action from the developers.
Details of the DDoS Attacks
The issues began in the early morning hours, impacting server reliability for both games. Although some stability was restored temporarily, the DDoS attacks persisted, disrupting gameplay for many users.
Developer Response
- In an update on the official Arc Raiders Discord, community manager Ossen confirmed the situation.
- Efforts to combat the attacks included deploying a dedicated strike team.
- Ossen stated, “The strike team has been working hard on mitigations and solutions to fix the problem.”
Current Status
As of the latest update, the developers indicated that server performance was improving, but the situation remains fluid. It is uncertain whether the DDoS attacks have fully ceased or if the issues have been entirely resolved.
Impact on Gameplay
The attacks coincided with the launch of a new game mode and a fresh map, Bird City. Players have also reported unintended changes due to a recent update that altered weapon fire rates and led to missing cosmetics.
Player Activity
Despite the challenges posed by the DDoS attacks, player engagement remains high. SteamDB indicates that over 100,000 players were still active in-game during the attacks.
