Software
Ghost
Game
ARC Raiders

Instructions

Complete every step in order and don't skip any. Every step below is required for the launch: first the system, then the key and the launcher, and only after the loader reports the injection, ARC Raiders itself.
What you need to launch
CPU: Intel or AMD
OS: Windows 10 or 11, builds 1903 to 26H1
GPU: NVIDIA or AMD
ARC Raiders display mode: windowed or borderless — this is mandatory
Client: ARC Raiders on Steam

There is no built-in spoofer, and no USB flash drive is needed.
Step 0: Preparing Windows
1. Fully uninstall any third-party antivirus — with standard Windows tools or a dedicated uninstaller.
2. Also disable the built-in Windows Defender — it is described step by step in the article: guide to disabling Defender
Step 1: Turning off real-time protection
Open Settings → Update & Security → Windows Security → Virus & threat protection, click "Manage settings" and turn off real-time protection.

The toggle has to be switched manually, in the Windows system settings.
Step 2: Reputation-based protection
In the same "Windows Security" section, go to App & browser control → Reputation-based protection and turn off every option there.

Full path: Settings → Update & Security → Windows Security → App & browser control → Reputation-based protection.
Step 3: Key activation
1. Your purchase comes with an activation key and this guide.
2. Go to the activation and download page, paste the key and click "Continue".
3. The launcher starts downloading right after activation. If your browser blocks the file, turn off its built-in protection or open the page in another browser.
Step 4: Launch
1. Open the downloaded launcher. A small transparent window showing the product loading will appear on the screen.
2. If the Wait for the software to download message stays for more than two minutes or the window disappears, run the loader again.
3. Wait for the successful injection message: it means you can now open the game. Then launch ARC Raiders via Steam.
Step 5: The menu and its sections
After injection, the GHOST menu appears. Sections:
  • Aimbot — FOV, smoothing, visible targets only, Target Lock (holds the target until it is eliminated), Memory or Mouse aim method, hitbox, target priority, recoil compensation, range; humanization — jitter, dead zone, minimum and maximum reaction delay, speed limit.
  • Visuals — visible players only, boxes, skeleton, name, distance, lines to targets, off-screen arrows, health, player state, weapon, team affiliation and armor bar.
  • Radar — outline and background, marker shape and size, radar size, range, zoom and compass bar.
  • Loot — rarity filters from Common to Legendary and a list of specific items with their value.
  • Objects — drones broken down by type, containers, environment objects (mines, hatches, supply crates, fuel cells, barricades, grenades, etc.) and bodies.
  • Misc — No Recoil, No Spread, Rapid Fire and flashlight color.
  • Settings — configs with export and import, watermark, keybind panel, text shadow, Battle Mode for a clean picture, custom crosshair, menu key and DPI scale.
  • AI Chat — a built-in AI assistant that answers questions about the settings.
Hotkeys
INSERT — show or hide the menu.

The menu key can be changed in the settings (the Menu Key option), while Keybind Indicator shows an on-screen panel with your assigned hotkeys.
If something doesn't work
ESP boxes are offset or "jump" around the screen:
1. Open the ARC Raiders settings, go to the display section and click "Save". If that doesn't help, switch the screen resolution and find one where the ESP is stable.
2. Then in Windows: Settings → System → Display.
3. Under "Scale and layout" set the scale to 100%.

The loader hangs on loading for more than two minutes or closes — open it again.
The launcher download is blocked — turn off browser protection or try another browser.
