The Arc Raiders community suspects that high framerates and aim assist are responsible for some suspicious gameplay clips after players accused streamer Nick ‘Nickmercs’ Kolcheff of cheating.
《Arc Raiders》社羣懷疑，高幀率和輔助瞄準是導致部分可疑遊戲片段的原因，此前有玩家指控主播 Nick “Nickmercs” Kolcheff 作弊。
Fans scrutinized the controversial controller accessibility feature after Reddit users targeted a questionable gameplay video from the streamer last week. The post, which is just 11 seconds long and garnered 2.4K comments on the social media platform, shows Nickmercs using a Renegade rifle (along with an Xbox controller) to shoot down two Arc drones.
上週，Reddit 使用者針對該主播的一段可疑遊戲影片進行了 scrutiny（審視/細查），引發了粉絲對爭議性手柄輔助功能的熱議。這篇帖子時長僅 11 秒，在社交媒體平臺上獲得了 2400 條評論，影片中 Nickmercs 使用一把叛變者步槍（配合 Xbox 手柄）擊落了兩架 Arc 無人機。
It’s the kind of clip many wouldn’t think twice about at first glance, but a closer look reveals almost robotic precision.
這類片段乍看之下許多人不會多想，但仔細一看卻展現出近乎機械般的精準度。
How can I get my aim to stick like this?

我的瞄準怎麼能粘得這麼牢？

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }“這太可疑了，”帖子釋出後不久，一位使用者評論道，“ARC 的手柄確實有輔助瞄準，但不是這種效果。”
“Yeah that’s not aim assist,” another user added at the time. “I mean that’s just blatantly a cheat engine. The way it locks onto a rotor and then he has to move it off the Arc entirely to get it to lock onto the back rotor instead is sus as f**k.”
“對，那不是輔助瞄準，”另一位使用者當時補充道。“我的意思是這明顯就是作弊引擎。它鎖定一個旋翼後，他必須完全移開才能讓它轉而鎖住後方旋翼，這簡直邪門。”
The video’s showcase of inhuman, snappy aiming quickly convinced a crowd of users the streamer must be using cheats to boost his performance for his audience. Upon closer inspection, however, it looks like Nickmercs’ may only have Arc Raiders and developer Embark Studios’ built-in aim assist feature to thank.
影片中非人般迅速且精準的瞄準表現，很快讓大量使用者確信該主播必定使用了作弊工具來提升面向觀眾的表現。然而仔細檢查後發現，Nickmercs 可能只需感謝《Arc Raiders》及其開發商 Embark Studios 內建的輔助瞄準功能即可。
While no one was able to exactly reproduce the streamer’s mechanical control on console without a cheat tool, PC players had a little more luck. Just hours after fans caught wind of the cheating allegations, Reddit user roartex89 published a video showcasing what seemed to be a drastic difference in aim assist sensitivity on PC vs. console.
雖然無人能在不使用作弊工具的情況下於主機端完全重現該主播機械般的操控，但 PC 玩家則幸運得多。粉絲得知作弊指控僅數小時後，Reddit 使用者 roartex89 釋出了一段影片，展示了 PC 與主機之間輔助瞄準靈敏度似乎存在巨大差異。
How aim assist looks on controller on PC

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }Further investigation from users like Razukee, awhaling, and ttvimShinyatheninja seemed to find the culprit behind magnetic aiming wasn’t exactly platform choice but frames per second (FPS) values. PCs able to achieve higher framerates seem to be able to use aim assist to snap between targets with ease, while those on the lower end may see little to no benefit from the feature. So, for example, a popular streamer with a high-end PC reaching as much as 240fps would be able to use aim assist to snap to targets with more ease than a player on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X | S, where Arc Raiders is capped at 60fps.
像Razukee、awhaling和ttvimShinyatheninja等使用者的進一步調查似乎發現，磁力瞄準背後的罪魁禍首並非平臺選擇，而是幀率（FPS）數值。能夠達到高幀率的 PC 似乎能夠輕鬆利用輔助瞄準在目標間快速切換，而低配端則幾乎無法從該功能中獲益。因此，例如一位擁有高階 PC、幀率高達 240fps 的熱門主播，在使用輔助瞄準鎖定目標時會比 PlayStation 5 或 Xbox Series X | S 上的玩家更加輕鬆，因為在這些主機平臺上，《Arc Raiders》被限制在 60fps。
“This basically [makes] aim assist pay to win,” ttvimShinyatheninja said in their post. “Whoever has the better PC wins. Everyone else is at a huge disadvantage and this [needs] to get fixed asap.”
“這基本上讓輔助瞄準變成了‘付費獲勝’（Pay-to-Win），”ttvimShinyatheninja 在其帖子中表示。“誰的電腦更好誰就贏。其他人都處於巨大劣勢，這個[需要]儘快修復。”
Aim assist is significantly stronger with higher FPS

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }Nickmercs, who went on to deny the cheating allegations during a January 12 livestream, seems to have been let off the hook, as the Arc Raiders community shifts its focus from one potential cheater to a wider discussion about aim assist. Embark is now being looked to for answers, with players taking to the company’s official channels across Reddit, X/Twitter, Discord, and more to ask for clarity or, ideally, a proper fix.
Nickmercs 在 1 月 12 日的一場直播中否認了作弊指控，現在看來他似乎已擺脫嫌疑，因為《Arc Raiders》社羣的關注點已從某位潛在作弊者轉向更廣泛的輔助瞄準討論。現在大家紛紛期待 Embark 給出答案，玩家們湧入公司在 Reddit、X/Twitter、Discord 等官方渠道留言，尋求明確說明或理想的修復方案。
Without comment from the studio, a section of the community questioning whether it's fair for console players to be matched against PC players has emerged. From cheating allegations to general confusion about how and why aim assist works, these fans now want to spread the word that crossplay should be turned off for now.
在官方未發表評論的情況下，社羣中已出現一部分質疑主機玩家與 PC 玩家匹配是否公平的聲音。從作弊指控到對輔助瞄準工作原理及原因的普遍困惑，這些粉絲現在希望傳達的資訊是：暫時關閉跨平臺聯機功能。
"Until resolved console players should not be playing with PC players to preserve a fair environment if one side can do something another isn't capable of," one Reddit user commented.
“在問題解決之前，如果一方能做另一方做不到的事，主機玩家就不應與 PC 玩家一起玩，以維持公平的環境，”一位 Reddit 使用者評論道。
"PC already have superior inputs with [mouse and keyboard] and now they also have better aim assist?" another replied. "Yeah not a chance I'm ticking that crossplay box on Xbox."
“PC 已經有更優越的輸入裝置（[滑鼠和鍵盤]），現在他們還有更好的輔助瞄準？”另一位回覆道。“是啊，我在 Xbox 上可不會勾選那個跨平臺聯機的選項。”
The streamer happened to find himself in the crosshairs of a gaming community that had just spent recent weeks pleading for Embark to crack down on what many felt was a cheating epidemic. As nefarious fans took advantage of exploits to illegitimately gain the upper hand on other Raiders, the studio finally stepped in, promising to clean up lobbies as January rolls on.
這位主播恰好成為遊戲社羣關注的焦點，該社羣在過去幾周裡一直懇求 Embark 打擊許多人認為的作弊氾濫現象。隨著一些別有用心的玩家利用漏洞非法獲得對其他掠奪者的優勢，工作室終於介入，承諾隨著一月推移清理大廳環境。
Arc Raiders launched for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S on October 30, 2025. It’s steadily marching through its third month in players’ hands, with Embark currently working to address feedback with updates that should arrive sooner rather than later. Recently, fans have spent their days learning to manipulate the aggression-based matchmaking system to land in PvE-only lobbies.
《Arc Raiders》於 2025 年 10 月 30 日登陸 PC、PlayStation 5 和 Xbox Series X | S。它正穩步進入玩家手中的第三個月，Embark 目前正在努力透過即將推出的更新來回應反饋。最近，粉絲們花費時間學習如何利用基於侵略性的匹配系統，以進入僅限 PvE 的大廳。
