Battlefield 6 anti-cheat tackled over 300K cheaters during beta weekend

DICE and EA are looking to take cheaters more seriously than ever before with Battlefield 6. The new game will include a new anti-cheat system and so far, it appears to be doing a very good job, resulting in hundreds of thousands of bans during the open beta weekend. 

The first open beta weekend for Battlefield 6 just ended and DICE has already dealt with an unprecedented number of cheaters. In a forum post, the SPEAR anti-cheat team confirmed that the system blocked over 300,000 attempted cheaters.

Here are all the stats shared from the beta weekend:

• 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.

There will be a second open beta weekend taking place for Battlefield 6 later this week. The good news is that the anti-cheat system is already taking care of the common cheating methods, but cheat makers will always find an exploit to get around protections, so the developers will need to stay vigilante and constantly monitor cheats hitting forums and marketplaces.
