Every day, several thousand hackers are banned from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. In the last 30 days, over 150,000 have been banned!
The success of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds cannot be denied. Recently, the threshold of 2 million players active at the same time in the battle royale shooter was crossed. However: This also includes players who resort to cheats.
The program “BattlEye” is working against cheaters. It now reports how many cheaters have been banned from PUBG in total and how daily bans are increasing.
Already over 320,000 cheaters banned in PUBG
To combat the masses of cheaters, the anti-cheat program “BattlEye” works around the clock in PUBG. Every day, up to 13,000 cheaters are banned from the game by the program. This is how they try to keep the community clean.
In a tweet from BattlEye, it is stated that more than 322,000 players have already been banned from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Last month, PUBG head Brendan Greene stated that at that time in September, 150,000 players were banned.
This means that BattlEye has more than doubled the number of banned cheater accounts in the last 30 days.
On Twitter, the operators explain that the tool bans about 6,000 to 13,000 accounts per day from the game. From October 12 to 13, there were even nearly 20,000 bans.
Cheaters still dominate the leaderboards in PUBG
Although the PUBG community is pleased with the fair punishment for cheaters, the bans still leave a bitter aftertaste. The cheaters remain at the top of the leaderboards.
On Twitter, Brendan Greene, the PlayerUnknown himself, commented on this issue. There are technical difficulties preventing the removal of cheaters from the leaderboards. However, he assures that the accounts are banned.
This is not the first problem with the leaderboards in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The large influx of players has led to the season reset being postponed by a week. The new PUBG season is delayed – There are just too many players
