Arena Breakout: Infinite Reports 8,788 Cheating Bans for September 7 to 20
The latest enforcement period also included 1,409 10-year bans, 820 device or IP bans, and compensation for 55,539 players.
Arena Breakout: Infinite recorded 8,788 cheating bans during its latest enforcement period, which covered September 7 through September 20. The figure was included in the game’s September 23 Steam security notice.
The latest total was 2,898 lower than the 11,686 cheating bans reported for August 24 through September 6 in the previous security sweep. Even with the lower cheating figure, the latest notice still recorded thousands of serious penalties across several categories.
September 7 to 20 enforcement figures
- Cheating bans: 8,788
- 10-year bans: 1,409
- Device or IP bans: 820
- Bans: 6,559
- Bad behavior actions: 129
- Griefing actions: 129
- Koen confiscations: 2,514
- Actions for playing with hackers: 2,514
- Information blocked: 82,866
The notice presents the separate “Bans” entry as its own line, so the 6,559 figure should not be added to the cheating total or treated as a breakdown of the other penalty categories.
During the same period, 55,539 players received compensation worth 66.54 billion Koen. The security team said Arena Breakout: Infinite maintains a zero-tolerance policy for rule violations, including the use of plug-ins or unauthorized apps and intentionally collaborating with players who use them.
