Arena Breakout: Infinite will add DMA Guard with its August version update, giving the extraction shooter another layer of protection against DMA-based cheats. B.D.C. announced the feature on Steam, but has not shared the update’s exact release date.
DMA Guard combines engine-level dynamic encryption with CPU virtualization at the system level. The goal is to block DMA cheating at its source while leaving behind evidence that can be detected and verified. The feature will support systems using both Intel and AMD processors.
How DMA Guard will work
The protection is aimed mainly at accounts that show unusual login environments or other possible security risks. B.D.C. says enabling it can help stop cheaters from exploiting an account.
DMA Guard uses built-in Windows security features. According to the announcement, those protections are already enabled by default on most systems, and the feature should not affect device performance or user privacy.
The system remains in active development and testing. B.D.C. plans to release it with the August version update and will publish detailed configuration instructions before launch. Those instructions should explain which Windows settings players need to check before enabling the protection.
The team said its broader anti-cheat work will continue, with the aim of keeping battles in Kamona focused on player skill and tactics rather than unauthorized third-party tools.
