The Legit Philosophy
Play like a skilled player, not a robot. If a kill looks "too good," it probably is — and someone will report it.
Most bans aren't from automatic detection — they're from manual reports [citation:5]. Players watch killcams, see obvious cheating, and report you. That report goes to anti-cheat staff who review and ban you manually [citation:5].
The goal of legit settings is to make every kill look explainable. Good game sense, good aim, good positioning — not inhuman snapping or perfect tracking through walls.
🎯 Aimbot: Humanized Settings
Smoothing
Target: 85-100
High smoothing makes your aim look natural. Instant snapping is the #1 giveaway in killcams [citation:5][citation:9].
FOV (Field of View)
Target: 2-4 degrees
Low FOV prevents snapping to enemies you shouldn't see. Only targets near your crosshair [citation:5][citation:9].
Bone Selection
Target: Chest / Torso
Headshots only in every kill = suspicious. Chest targeting looks natural [citation:5][citation:9]. Mix in body shots.
Prediction
Target: ON (low)
Light prediction helps with tracking but shouldn't be perfect. Good players lead targets naturally [citation:9].
Triggerbot Delay
Target: 150-250ms
Adds human reaction time. Instant reaction = obvious bot [citation:5].
Visibility Check
Target: ON
Only aim at visible enemies. Wallbang snaps are obvious [citation:5][citation:9].
💡 Pro tip: Miss shots intentionally. Real players aren't perfect. If you hit 100% of your shots, you'll get reported [citation:5].
👁️ ESP: Subtle Awareness
ESP should enhance your game sense, not replace it. Obvious wall-staring gets reported.
Opacity
Target: 50-70%
Semi-transparent ESP is harder to notice if someone sees your screen [citation:5][citation:6].
Box Style
Target: 2D Corner / Minimal
Clean, minimal boxes are less obvious than full 3D skeletons [citation:5][citation:6].
Player Info
- Name: OFF
- Health: ON (bar only)
- Distance: ON
- Weapon: OFF
Less text = less screen clutter = less obvious [citation:6].
Visibility Check
Target: Dim hidden enemies
Shows you where enemies are without tempting you to stare at walls [citation:5][citation:6].
Stream-Proof
Target: ON
Hides ESP on OBS/Discord. Essential if you stream [citation:5][citation:6].
Loot ESP
Target: Rare+ only
Only show high-tier loot. Common items clutter your screen and make ESP obvious [citation:5][citation:6].
💡 Pro tip: If you know someone is there from ESP, don't stare at the wall. Look around naturally, then "check" that corner [citation:5].
🧠 Behavioral Safety (Most Important)
✅ DO:
- • Lose raids sometimes [citation:5]
- • Take damage like a normal player [citation:5]
- • Miss shots intentionally [citation:5]
- • Play with friends (they can vouch for you) [citation:5]
- • Vary your playstyle [citation:5]
- • "Check" corners before pushing [citation:5]
❌ DON'T:
- • Win every fight [citation:5]
- • Have 80% headshot rate [citation:5]
- • Snap 180° to enemies [citation:5]
- • Stare at walls [citation:5]
- • Wallbang everyone perfectly [citation:5]
- • Track enemies through terrain [citation:5]
💡 Golden rule: Record your own gameplay and watch it back. If it looks suspicious to you, it will look suspicious to anti-cheat reviewers [citation:5].
⚙️ Graphics Settings (Legit Advantages)
Even without cheats, you can optimize for better visibility. These settings are completely legal [citation:1][citation:4][citation:7].
Field of View
Target: 90-100
Wider FOV gives better peripheral vision. In-game limit is 90, but config edits can push higher (use with caution) [citation:2][citation:7][citation:10].
Shadows
Target: Low
Low shadows make enemies easier to spot in dark corners. This is a common competitive setting [citation:4][citation:10].
Foliage
Target: Low
Reduces grass density, making hiding players easier to spot. Does not remove hiding bushes [citation:7].
Post-Processing
Target: Low
Disables bloom, lens flare, and depth of field — effects that obscure vision [citation:10].
Motion Blur
Target: Disabled
Motion blur makes tracking enemies harder. Always disable [citation:1][citation:4][citation:7].
DLSS / FSR
Target: Balanced / Performance
Higher FPS = smoother gameplay. Use upscaling for performance gains [citation:4][citation:7].
💡 Note: These graphics settings are completely legitimate. Even legit players use them for competitive advantage [citation:1][citation:4][citation:7].
🔊 Audio Settings (Legit Advantages)
Audio is the most underrated tool in extraction shooters. These settings help you hear everything [citation:1][citation:7][citation:10].
Night Mode
Recommend: Enabled
Reduces loud sounds (gunshots) and amplifies quiet sounds (footsteps). Essential for hearing enemies [citation:1][citation:7][citation:10].
Audio Output
Recommend: Headphones / Stereo
Headphones provide the best directional audio for pinpointing enemy locations [citation:1][citation:7].
Windows Spatial Sound
Recommend: Enabled
Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos improves directional audio further [citation:10].
Push-to-Talk
Recommend: Enabled
Open mic can give away your position. Use push-to-talk [citation:1][citation:7].
🎯 Crosshair Visibility
A clear crosshair helps with aim — no cheats needed [citation:10].
Recommended colors for maximum visibility:
- • Bright Green (R0 G255 B0)
- • Cyan (R0 G255 B255)
- • Pink (R255 G0 B255)
Test different colors to see what stands out in ARC Raiders' environments [citation:10].
🎮 Controller Settings (Legit)
For controller players — optimize your inputs [citation:1].
Horizontal Sensitivity
Target: 75
Vertical Sensitivity
Target: 60
Zoom Sensitivity
Target: 40%
Right Stick Deadzone
Target: 5-7
Aim Assist
Target: Enabled / Medium
Auto Sprint
Target: Enabled

⚠️ EAC "Cheat Software Detected" Error
If you get this error, it means a program on your PC is flagged — often AutoHotkey or similar [citation:3].
Important: This error does NOT mean you're banned. Disable the flagged process and restart [citation:3].
Continuing to launch with flagged software can lead to disciplinary action [citation:3].
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Can I get banned for using legit settings?
If your aim looks human and you don't act on ESP obviously, risk is very low. Manual reports are the biggest threat [citation:5].
❓ What's the safest aimbot setting?
High smoothing (90+), low FOV (2-3°), chest targeting, and silent aim enabled. Looks natural even in killcams [citation:5][citation:9].
❓ Are Nvidia filters still working?
Nvidia disabled filters for ARC Raiders, but some players roll back drivers to older versions [citation:8]. This is risky and may be patched.
❓ Can I use config edits without getting banned?
FOV edits and visibility tweaks are considered exploits and can trigger bans [citation:2][citation:8]. Use at your own risk.
❓ What's better: legit cheats or full rage?
Legit cheats last longer. Rage cheats get banned quickly but are fun for short sessions [citation:5].
❓ Where can I find legit-configurable cheats?
ESHUB's ARC Raiders packages are fully configurable for legit play.
