Arc Raiders — MATRIX Injection Guide

Step-by-step instructions for injecting and using MATRIX on Arc Raiders.

Prerequisites

Make sure you've completed all Setup steps before proceeding. MATRIX requires the NVIDIA overlay to be installed and running.

Before You Start

  • Arc Raiders must be installed via Steam or Epic Games
  • You need an active Arc Raiders Matrix subscription
  • Antivirus must be fully disabled
  • NVIDIA GeForce Experience or NVIDIA App must be installed with the In-Game Overlay enabled
NVIDIA Overlay Required

Matrix uses the NVIDIA overlay to render the cheat interface. The cheat will not work without it.

Verify it's running:

  1. Open GeForce Experience or NVIDIA App
  2. Go to Settings → General
  3. Confirm In-Game Overlay is toggled ON
  4. You should see a brief NVIDIA notification when launching games
AMD GPU Users

The NVIDIA App and its overlay work on all GPUs including AMD — the overlay is not GPU-specific. Install the NVIDIA App, sign in, and enable the In-Game Overlay.

Injection Steps

  1. Confirm the NVIDIA overlay is running (check your system tray for the NVIDIA icon, or press Alt + Z to test)
  2. Run the Matrix loader as Administrator
  3. Enter your license key when prompted
  4. Launch Arc Raiders and wait until you reach the main menu
  5. Switch back to the loader and click Inject
  6. Wait for the success confirmation message in the loader
  7. Switch back to Arc Raiders and press INSERT to open the cheat menu
Inject at the main menu only

Injection must be done while at the main menu — not during a match or loading screen. If you inject mid-game, it will fail.

Tips

  • If the cheat menu doesn't appear after injecting, make sure the NVIDIA overlay is actually running
  • If you see "Failed to inject", restart Arc Raiders and try again from the main menu
  • Always download the latest loader from your Dashboard before each session
  • If injection was successful but the overlay doesn't render, try pressing Alt + Z to toggle the NVIDIA overlay, then press INSERT again
