In For Honor you fight for fame and honor – there is no room for cheaters and hackers. Ubisoft wields the banhammer.
Cheats and hacks are unfortunately never completely avoidable in online games. There will always be people who want to gain unfair advantages. The decent players can do little about it, they can only report the cheaters and hope that the developers respond.
And that’s exactly what Ubisoft wants to do, as they now announce in a statement in the Ubi forum. The entire development team of For Honor sees itself in the obligation to tirelessly combat users who want to gain advantages through hacking programs.
For Honor uses knowledge from The Division in the fight against cheaters
Active solutions have been installed for For Honor that can identify and prevent new cheats. They use the already gained knowledge about cheats and hacks from other Ubisoft games, such as Rainbow Six: Siege and The Division.
These tools have been used since the beta phases to detect and punish cheaters. However, the team is continually working to improve the anti-cheating process so that the gaming experience remains at a high level.
The developers believe in a fair and inviting environment for everyone in For Honor. However, they know that the fight against cheaters is just beginning. The first players have already been banned.
