The developers of Escape from Tarkov are now taking action against cheaters. They have banned 3000 cheaters. However, many players are not satisfied with this.
What does it currently look like in Escape from Tarkov? The shooter from the Russian developer Battlestate Games recently performed a major character wipe. In this process, every player lost their collected equipment and was reset to zero.
This attracted many cheaters who quickly leveled up. However, these very cheaters are now the target. The developers announced on Twitter that they have banned a total of 3000 cheaters.
The news about the ban of the cheaters is not received very well. Fair players want to see more action, after all, the cheaters here are tougher than in other shooters, and some of the bans could even be unjust.
Ban is not enough – players want more
This is being said about the action: The news about the bans is being widely discussed. Many players say that the cheaters simply create new accounts, or that 3000 bans are far from sufficient.
On Twitter JMaC says: “They just create new accounts again, and it brings you additional revenue, but yes, keep patting yourselves on the back.”
On reddit there are similar statements. tibidus states: “Wow, that’s roughly twice my city. What percentage do 3000 cheaters represent?”
Are all bans justified? On Twitter, a user complains that they were banned even though they hadn’t cheated. On the contrary, they haven’t logged in for weeks and don’t even know how to cheat in Escape from Tarkov.
What do the developers say about the ban wave? Battlestate Games wants to continue banning diligently. They now plan to make the ban waves public and inform players when they have banned more cheaters.
It remains to be seen if the players will then feel more reassured. The 3000 banned cheaters are definitely not enough to calm the fans’ emotions.
