Update on the Fight Against Cheaters - April 14, 2023
With the close of Season 6, most of our anti-cheat efforts over the past week focused on Battlegrounds. Improvements we made to the system throughout the season were successful in reducing the amount of cheating taking place, especially higher on the Gladiator's Circuit leaderboard. We also committed more resources to manual review in the days leading up to the conclusion of the season. Things still aren't perfect, we still have work to do, but things are improving.
We successfully identified dozens of additional cheaters, thanks to a new improvement to the system we rolled out this week. Unfortunately, through manual review we also found two false positives in the data. Our goal for next season will be to iterate on this improvement to completely eliminate false positives. In the meantime, we will be manually reviewing the accounts identified and banning any cheaters.
We continue to apply harsher penalties for cheating and have a long list of additional anti-cheat systems queued up for development and implementation. If you are modding in our game, you should expect to get banned. If you pilot or hire someone to pilot your account, you should expect to get banned. If you hire a cheater to carry you through content in any way, you should expect to get banned.
There will be another update about the Incursions cheating situation at some point in the next few weeks!
