Arc Raiders ‘Watchlist’ Names and Shames Backstabbing Players

Update 12/05/25: After the publication of this story, Speranza Wactchlist's creator changed the site. It now uses auto-generated data and bills itself as satire. The original iterations of the Speranza Watchlist contained real information and allowed players to report real encounters in 'Arc Raiders' based on a player's Embark ID. The creator changed the site and deleted his Reddit account after facing accusations of doxxing from the 'Arc Raiders' community. The original story follows unedited.

A new website is holding Arc Raiders players accountable when they betray their fellow players. Speranza Watchlist—named for the game’s social hub—bills itself as “your friendly Raider shaming board,” a place where people can report other people for what they see as anti-social behavior in the game.

In Arc Raiders, players land on a map full of NPC robots and around 20 other humans. The goal is to fill your inventory with loot and escape the map unharmed. The robots are deadly, but they’re easy to deal with once you know what you’re doing. The real challenge is navigating other players and that challenge is the reason Arc Raiders is a mega-hit. People are far more dangerous and unpredictable than any NPC.
