Battlefield 6 Cronus Zen Controversy Explained

by

Players using Cronus Zen devices are being banned in Battlefield 6 on both PC and consoles. This decision has caused some discussion online, as Battlefield 6 appears to be one of the first games to directly address and counter the idea that Cronus Zen is a cheat that can’t be detected.

The Cronus Zen is a device that lets players use scripts and macros – pre-recorded button combinations – with their controllers. It works by mimicking controller inputs, allowing for features like automatic rapid firing and eliminating weapon recoil. Since its release in May 2020, the Cronus Zen has become a popular cheating tool in many first-person shooter games because it’s difficult to detect.

Battlefield 6 Reportedly Cracking Down on Cronus Zen Users

Shortly after the popular release of *Battlefield 6* on October 10th, reports surfaced that EA is banning players who use Cronus Zen, a device that can give players an unfair advantage. While one piece of evidence suggesting these bans was questioned as potentially being created by AI, many users online claim Cronus Zen has warned its customers not to use the device with *Battlefield 6* while they investigate the situation. Game Rant hasn’t been able to confirm these reports.

I was checking out the Cronus Zen support Discord, and it looks like the team is saying their BF6 Beta Pack isn’t getting anyone banned. One of the devs actually posted on October 14th that they hadn’t seen any reports of bans while using it, which is good to know if you’re thinking about trying it out.

A warning circulating on social media about bans in *Battlefield 6* likely came from a Discord server or private group for Cronus Zen users. While it’s not yet confirmed if the warning is true, Game Rant has seen multiple reports of bans in *Battlefield 6* on the official Cronus Zen Support Discord server. These users didn’t explain why they were banned, so it’s unclear if the bans were related to cheating. A Cronus Zen developer suggested that players might be banned for using risky or unstable scripts.

Some Gamers Reject the Notion That Cronus Zen Is Cheating

The recent ban wave has caused some discussion online. Most fans are happy with the action taken against cheaters, but some players are debating what actually counts as cheating, particularly when it comes to devices like the Cronus Zen, which they see as a tricky case. However, these opinions don’t seem to be shared by many. Electronic Arts had announced that *Battlefield 6* would include its own anti-cheat software, but hasn’t given many details. The company also hasn’t officially confirmed that it’s specifically targeting Cronus Zen users.
