Battlefield 6’s Javelin Anti-Cheat blocked 439,945 attempts to cheat or tamper with the game in September before they could affect matches, according to EA’s September anticheat update.

Match Infection Rate (MIR) began the month at 3.51%, reached a high of 3.64% on September 2, and fell to 3.27% on September 10. It closed September at 3.41%.

MIR measures the percentage of matches negatively affected by at least one cheater. It also includes suspected cheaters reported by players when EA may not have enough evidence to take action. EA’s January explanation of the metric offers more context on how it interprets changes in the rate.

EA said it added detection vectors aimed at methods adopted by cheating communities while Season 4 was underway. The publisher credited those additions with helping stabilize MIR ahead of larger anticheat enhancements planned for future updates.

EA was tracking 111 active cheat-related programs, hardware solutions, vendors, resellers, and associated communities, up one from its previous report. Of those, 107, up two, had experienced detection notices, feature failures, downtime, or taken their cheats offline. EA put that share at 96.39%.
