In the IVSOFTE chat, half of the first messages look the same: “I bought a subscription, but I don’t understand what ESP is, and why I need an Aimbot if I’m not a fragger.” If you’re new to private software, ARC Raiders makes it twice as confusing — the game isn’t a classic shooter, it’s PvPvE with survival, looting, and extraction. Half of cheat features aren’t about shooting at all, they’re about map information. Let’s break it down.
What is ESP
ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) is a visual overlay on the game: highlights for objects you can’t otherwise see. In ARC Raiders, ESP typically splits into:
- Player ESP — boxes/skeletons of live players through walls, names, distance, current weapon, health.
- AI/Mech ESP — same for ARC-mechanoids and bots. In PvPvE this matters more than it sounds: 70% of round threats are bots, not players, and seeing them early cuts the odds of eating a burst in the back.
- Loot ESP — highlights items on the ground and in containers. The most useful feature for solo raiders, saving 5-10 minutes per round running between specific shelves.
- Extract ESP / World ESP — highlights extract points, hatches, generators, event triggers. Useful for hatch key races and fast exits.
What is Aimbot
Aimbot is automatic targeting. When you hold a hotkey (or just fire), your crosshair snaps to the nearest target. In ARC Raiders there are nuances:
- AI Aimbot vs PvP Aimbot are two different profiles. Bots can be dropped with clean headshots without drawing attention. With real players you need to shoot “more human” — body, shoulder, not perfect accuracy. A good cheat gives you two separate profiles with a hotkey to switch.
- Smoothing — a parameter that “slows” cursor snap so shots look human. Low smoothing = fast and obvious. High = slow and safe.
- FOV (Field of View) — the cone in which aimbot notices targets. Small FOV = pinpoint assist. Big FOV = “magnet”, but obvious.
In the IVSOFTE catalog Aimbot is in Arcane, Ancient ARC, Bleak Reborn, Crooked Arms, Ghost, and other full internals.
What is Radar
Radar is a mini-map overlay on the game or in a separate window with markers for players and bots. Two principal versions:
- In-game radar overlay — built into the cheat, drawn on top of the game. Convenient but adds extra surface for EAC.
- Web Radar — opens in a browser on a second monitor or phone. Nothing is drawn on the gaming PC — to EAC the game looks clean, info comes through a separate channel. IVSOFTE has Arcane Web Radar for $4/day — the safest information format in ARC Raiders.
Web Radar is especially useful in a squad: one player “sacrifices” a second monitor for the group — teammates play clean while you have the full map for callouts.
Triggerbot and NoRecoil — what they are and whether you need them
- Triggerbot — auto-fires when the crosshair lands on an enemy. Helpful for close-range reaction speed. Less critical in ARC Raiders than in CS2 because fights tend to be mid-to-long range.
- NoRecoil — removes weapon recoil. On some ARC Raiders guns this radically changes TTK (time-to-kill). Easy to overdo — shooting starts looking supernatural.
Both features are in full internals (Arcane, Ancient, Bleak, Crooked).
Where to start as a newcomer
Minimum budget, just want to try:
- BTG ARC Raiders — from $3/day. ESP + basic Aimbot. A good “demo” to figure out whether you actually want a cheat at all.
- DH Wallhack — from $2/day. ESP only, no Aimbot. Radically safer because there’s no auto-aim (the main trigger for EAC behavioral checks).
Solo player who wants loot and information:
- Arcane Web Radar — $4/day. Nothing drawn on your gaming PC, you see the whole map from the side.
- Pair Web Radar with an ESP-only cheat like DH Wallhack — total ~$6/day, more information than the average cheater has.
Team play, want everything:
- Arcane or Bleak Reborn — full internal. We compared these two in a separate post.
What NOT to do your first time
- Don’t buy the biggest plan up front. Get 1-3 days first — figure out if you enjoy playing with a cheat, then extend to a month.
- Don’t crank every feature to max. Low smoothing + big FOV + NoRecoil = instant reports from other players. ESP + moderate Aimbot is the normal baseline.
- Don’t skip the HWID spoofer. EAC bans hardware, and without a spoofer your new account will get hit too. More in our separate ARC Raiders spoofer post.
Bottom line
In ARC Raiders the priority features for a newcomer are Player and Loot ESP, Web Radar, and a basic Aimbot for fights with bots. Triggerbot, NoRecoil, and advanced PvP-Aimbot are add-ons that make sense once you understand the basics. And don’t forget that any cheat without a HWID spoofer is a one-shot story on your current account.
