During the Battlefield 6 beta, which began a few days ago, its Javelin anti-cheat program detected and blocked more than 330,000 attempts to use third-party software or interfere with the game's security mechanisms. This was reported by the SPEAR team, which is responsible for the development and support of the Javelin protection system, Insider Gaming writes.
On the first day of testing, players sent 44,000 complaints about possible violators, and the next day - another 60,000. This data is already being used by the team responsible for the integrity of the gameplay to improve cheat detection algorithms. In addition, the Javelin developers are working in collaboration with the Battlefield Positive Play team, which is actively engaged in the removal of confirmed cheaters.
Many videos have appeared on social media demonstrating the use of tools such as auto-aim and wallhack (seeing through walls), indicating the scale of the problem.
The developers encourage players to report suspicious users via a special tool to minimize the impact of cheating on the gameplay. It is expected that as the release of Battlefield 6 approaches, the number of cheating attempts may increase, so countermeasures remain a priority for the project team.
