Battlefield 6 just kicked off its beta, and wow, the anti-cheat system is already working overtime. The Javelin engine has blocked more than 330,000 cheating attempts so far. That’s a massive number, especially considering the beta just started a few days ago. Kinda wild that people are cheating during a beta, right? But hey, cheaters gonna cheat.
Clips of cheaters running wild have been popping up all over social media, which is both frustrating and baffling. Why show off cheating during a beta? Guess some folks just want to flex their hacks early. The SPEAR team behind Javelin (nice codename, by the way) said the community’s been reporting cheaters a lot, over 44,000 reports on day one and another 60,000 shortly after. Those reports help the Gameplay Integrity team improve detection and kick confirmed cheaters out with the Positive Play team.
Cheating during a beta seems counterproductive, but cheat makers are probably testing their tools ahead of the official launch on October 10. The SPEAR team shared an update on the EA forums detailing how Javelin is holding strong against attempts to tamper with anti-cheat controls. It’s stopping 330,000+ attempts, which is pretty impressive.
Javelin has prevented 330,000 attempts to cheat or tamper with anti-cheat controls.
You’ve reported 44,000 instances of potential cheaters during day one and another 60,000 so far today.
We are already using these with our own Gameplay Integrity team to add and improve our detections for Battlefield 6. They are also working with the Battlefield Positive Play team, to actively remove those reported we confirm to be cheaters.
