Delta Force recorded 1,284 platform-specific player penalties during the week of August 3–9, 2026, including 1,028 10-year bans on PC, 233 10-year bans on mobile, and 23 console violation penalty bans. G.T.I. Security detailed the figures in a new Steam notice.
The security team continued to enforce a zero-tolerance policy against plug-ins, illegal software, inappropriate behavior, and the malicious use of exploits or bugs. Possible actions include permanent account bans, IP bans, and notifications delivered inside or outside the game.
G.T.I. Security also confirmed that cheater-kill compensation now covers players affected by offenders who receive 30-day bans, expanding the previous eligibility rule that applied only to 10-year penalties. After an affected operator receives an email confirming a successful 30-day or 10-year ban, compensation will arrive through in-game mail within three business days. The reward will not be issued again if squadmates extracted the gear from the match and returned it to the affected player.
The compensation rule was part of an earlier policy expansion covered in our earlier G.T.I. Security report.
PC, mobile, and console enforcement totals
PC enforcement included 116 DMA bans, real-time interceptions, or freeze actions. The team blocked 18,725 devices for one year, stopped 1,714 cheating attempts in real time, forced 11,355 players offline for cheating, and issued 209 warnings for teaming with cheaters. Another 29 cases involved bans alongside the confiscation of unfairly obtained gains, while security actions targeted 45 cheating tools.
Mobile enforcement stopped 14,118 cheating attempts in real time and took action against 40 cheating tools in addition to the 233 10-year bans.
Console enforcement recorded 23 violation penalty bans during the same reporting period.
Economic-security violations accounted for 276,392 actions
G.T.I. Security separately addressed 276,392 instances involving automated scripts. The enforcement covered automated bulk registration of accounts, automated multi-client login, auto-farming (run-through), auto-extract, and auto-sell supplies. The total included 69,814 cases where benefits were confiscated and 206,578 account bans.
The team said it would continue taking action against violating accounts in real time and asked operators to use the available reporting channels when they encounter cheating or other rule-breaking behavior.
