The open beta for Battlefield 6 has garnered attention for its popularity, but with that comes an unfortunate influx of cheaters. Players have been reporting the use of wall hacks, a method that lets cheat users seamlessly locate enemies regardless of their positioning in the game.
{% blockquote %} “Anti-Cheat isn’t one and done; it’s an ever-evolving battlefield, and what has worked for us previously or in different games doesn’t always work in all of them,” noted EA’s anti-cheat team, urging players to keep flagging suspected cheaters. {% endblockquote %}
Despite having a kernel-level anti-cheat system called Javelin, EA acknowledges that it requires continuous updates to catch various hacking methods. Over a 40-hour period following the open beta launch, the Javelin system effectively stopped 330,000 cheating attempts. Those found cheating are being actively removed from the beta.
“Even with these measures, players remain critical, especially those concerned about granting anti-cheat software unrestricted access to sensitive PC components. Moreover, many gamers feel frustrated by ongoing issues with cheaters appearing in the gameplay, questioning whether the high-security requirements are preventing a significant rise in cheating once the full release is made available.”
For now, EA is encouraging players to report any suspicious activities to uphold a fair gaming environment as the beta continues until August 9. Players hoping to join in can keep an eye on gaming forums and news sites for updates on this ongoing issue.
