Cheaters now have a harder time in PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds). A new method allows unfair players to be identified more quickly.
The developers at BlueHole are putting a lot of work into their anti-cheat system to make PUBG more enjoyable for you. Nobody likes playing with cheaters, and it’s always nice when they can be banned quickly.
To make your ban system even more effective, the developers dug into their bag of tricks and took a close look at the cheaters. And it works.
Behavior of Cheaters Observed Over a Long Period of Time
When you encounter cheaters in your matches who take away your chance at victory, the frustration is high. The developers at BlueHole understand this anger and want to address the problem even better.
In the Steam forums, they explain that all available resources are being used to punish players who cannot follow the rules. Recently, tools have been implemented to identify cheaters more effectively and quickly.
But how is this more efficient system achieved? The trick lies in observation.
For an extended period, the development team has observed players whose gameplay behavior in PUBG seemed abnormal. From the collected data, a system was developed that identifies cheaters faster. As a result, cheaters can now be banned before they can cause a lot of damage.
With this new, faster system, approximately 42,000 cheaters in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds have already been banned in a single day. This is a significant increase compared to the last statement from BattlEye. Two weeks ago, there were about 6,000 – 13,000 bans per day – but the trend has already been rising.
According to developers, this is just the beginning. In addition to the anti-cheat service “BattlEye,” PUBG utilizes a monitoring system to identify and punish additional cheaters. Have you noticed a reduction in cheaters yet?
