The early access of Battlefield 1 is not spared from cheaters. In the video, you can see how annoying these players are.
Hackers and cheaters are always annoying in online games and ruin the fun for other players. Even during the open beta of Battlefield 1, some players complained about cheaters playing with aimbots or other illegal “assists”. Now the open beta phase is over, but hackers can still be found in the current Play First Trial, where you can play Battlefield 1 a week before release. However, the anti-cheat system of Battlefield 1 seems to be functioning.
Hacker receives just punishment
There are many cool and fun things to see in Battlefield 1 that contribute to the gaming experience. For example, there is the interesting weapon Kolibri, which brings good vibes. But as mentioned earlier, there is also the other side with frustrating encounters. In the video from PC Gamer, you can see how annoying it is to play against a hacker in Battlefield 1. In rush mode on the Amiens map, the player is hit by bullets from the strangest angles repeatedly. Be careful – just watching can lead to frustration.
In the Battlefield 1 subreddit, there hasn’t been much discussion about hackers so far. Presumably, the cheats are not widely spread at the moment. After the video of this hacker was posted on Reddit, it was shown that the anti-cheat system Fairfight works. Reddit user detuscan reported that the hacker shown in the video was banned while he was in his game. He also posted a screenshot with the chat message.
How the developers will deal with cheaters in the future is unknown. One can only hope that the anti-cheat system will exclude hackers from the game early on before they cause much damage. Did you also encounter cheaters during the beta or in the current early access of Battlefield 1?
