When it comes to banning cheaters, they are now bringing out the big hammer in PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds).
Cheaters are an important and annoying topic in PUBG. They regularly ruin fair players’ matches and are just a nuisance. That’s why it’s always nice when as many of them as possible are sorted out and kicked out with a rough shove. Last weekend, the number of bans was in the six figures!
Heading towards a million banned cheaters
The service responsible for the kickouts in PUBG is called BattlEye. Regularly, through monitoring, fraudsters are identified and subsequently thrown out of the battle royale shooter.
Exciting numbers can be followed on Twitter. Last weekend, about 100,000 cheaters were thrown out of the game. Since the start of Early Access in March 2017, over 700,000 players have now been banned by BattlEye.
The developers explain that banning cheaters will always be important and that not all cheaters can be banned. Especially in the most popular battle royale game.
Further anti-cheat measures announced
The PUBG developers from Bluehole announced a few days ago further measures that are to be taken to identify and ban cheaters. The servers are regularly maintained to activate new features against the fraudsters.
The developers are aware of the cheater problems and they are trying to do something about it. The cheaters notice this too. They wonder why they suddenly only play against aim gods in PUBG.
