Do Not Buy ars.red

The current ars.red is not developed by the original ars.red team. It is a rebrand of GC9, operated by two people known as 2ds (also known as 2dsboy) and Bred. The original ars.red developers have publicly called out the current version as stolen branding.

2ds obtained the ars.red codebase from a user named IHaxU by ratting him, meaning he used malware to steal access to the source code.

Bred and 2ds have been involved in at least 5 exit scams in 2025 alone. The pattern is always the same: launch a script under a new name, collect payments, then shut down abruptly without delivering.

Every release of GC9 lasted less than a month before being shut down. The rebranding to ars.red is just the latest iteration of the same cycle: reuse → hype → collect payments → exit-scam → repeat.

Bred's earlier script "Luna.vip" was found to contain 1:1 code snippets from the iridescent source leak and likely other leaked sources like fishy. Both the original ars.red developers and others on V3rmillion have confirmed that Bred is a known "skid" (someone who copies others' code and claims it as their own).

The original ars.red developer has spoken out about this directly, confirming the current team was never involved in the original project and stole both the name and codebase.

Both ars.red and its predecessors use RestoreCord to log the IP addresses of anyone who joins their Discord server. They have also been documented logging IPs when you execute the script itself. Their database reportedly contains over 2,000 IP addresses collected from users.

Bred has previously leaked lajza's IP address, demonstrating that the collected data is actively used for harassment.

The Discord invite alone costs $10. Then you have to pay more than $10 for the actual script on top of that. Users can be blacklisted at any time for no reason, losing access to everything they paid for with no refund.

2ds is documented threatening to DDoS and dox other AR2 developers and community members. This includes targeted harassment against competing script developers.

Before ars.red, Bred and an associate known as Gxentry ran Dopamine.public, which was itself a renamed version of vanity.gg. The vanity.gg source code was leaked and confirmed to be heavily plagiarized from the iridescent source leak, showing no original coding ability.

A dedicated V3rmillion thread documents the situation in detail with posts from multiple community members confirming the exit scam history, code theft, and generally bad reputation of the ars.red team.

The people behind the current ars.red cannot be trusted. The evidence is public, consistent, and spans multiple years and platforms. Do not share payment information with them. Do not join their Discord server. Do not execute their script.
