Arena Breakout: Infinite found and penalized more than 45,000 cheat instances during Season 6, including over 8,000 accounts that received 10-year bans. The figures come from the Season 6 Security Report, which also details penalties for players who teamed with plug-in users and compensation sent to affected players. Before these Season 6 results, Season 5 produced 4,900 ten-year bans and more than 216,000 compensation awards, as detailed in Season 5’s enforcement breakdown.
Suspicious clients can be removed from raids or receive short-term bans while the B.D.C. reviews the activity. Abnormal launches, third-party access to the game client, unusual game data, and similar warning signs can trigger a video review by the Replay Expert Team or Security Technology Team. Verified violations can then lead to more severe penalties, even when a plug-in user did not eliminate another player.
Season 6 enforcement covered cheats and teaming
The B.D.C. upgraded its anti-plug-in technology more than 772 times during the season and rendered over 2,543 plug-in cheats ineffective. It also tested and deployed an encryption system based on coordinate information to target DMA plug-ins. Attempts to bypass that protection were exposed to the game’s latest hardware detection tools, which also draw on a database of blacklisted devices and analysis of their evasion methods.
Penalties also extended to players who worked with cheaters. The B.D.C. expanded its review of suspicious launcher environments and applied associated penalties to accounts that teamed with players treated as the main plug-in accounts. Its measures against players using radar websites to share wallhacks also produced enforcement results, with more than 14,000 players penalized for teaming with plug-in users during Season 6.
Compensation reached 371.3 billion Koen
Content moderation remained another part of the security effort. The B.D.C. intercepted more than 462,000 messages, 10,200 nicknames, and 183,000 violating voice messages involving issues such as verbal abuse, fraudulent advertisements, and pornographic or vulgar material.
Expanded detection of abnormal behavior allowed the team to issue compensation more than 310,000 times to players affected by plug-in users. The total value of that compensation exceeded 371.3 billion Koen, giving players another reason to report suspicious raids rather than simply accepting losses as part of the extraction shooter grind.
Inspector Community rewards also increased
The Inspector Community continued operating during Season 6, with more valuable Gold Coin rewards added for players who help protect the game’s environment. The B.D.C. said the fight against plug-ins would continue and invited more players to take part in the community’s security efforts.
