Battlefield 6 Open Beta Players Are Already Dealing with Cheaters

by

The trial period for trying out Battlefield 6‘s open beta commenced on August 7 in the early hours, and gamers have already started reporting incidents of cheating. Despite the last installment in the series not living up to both EA’s and players’ expectations, it hasn’t lessened the anticipation for Battlefield 6 at all. However, the enthusiasm for the forthcoming game had mostly remained subdued until the end of July, when EA announced that the open beta was about to start soon.

Alongside the news about two open beta weekends in August, plus an early access beta, EA officially disclosed eight multiplayer modes for Battlefield 6 that will be accessible when the game goes live on October 10. However, what really got fans excited was a leak that surfaced a few days earlier, hinting at 15 potential game maps (some new and some remastered) as well as the titles of anticipated campaign missions.

Battlefield 6 Beta Players Share Clips of Cheaters

In a notable shift for the series, EA revealed that Battlefield 6 would debut featuring the Javelin anti-cheat system. However, upon the game’s early access beta launch on August 7, numerous players swiftly reported signs of cheating. Videos circulating on social media depict the use of wallhacks, with boxes outlining all players, making them visible even through solid structures.

In response to a post about cheating in the game, the producer of Electronic Arts (EA), Alexia Christofi, appeared in the comments to comfort players by stating that they were already addressing the issue and had banned the offending player shown in the video. Some spectators speculated that perhaps Javelin wasn’t activated during the beta phase, while others contended that the anti-cheat software was indeed active at launch. However, some users believe that Javelin isn’t fully operational yet, allowing developers to gather data during the Battlefield 6 beta for a more effective implementation when the game is officially released.

Despite the situation, many gamers find it aggravating when they witness clear cheating during open betas, which has caused some players to lose interest and return to Call of Duty. EA’s CEO, Andrew Wilson, has affirmed their commitment to Battlefield 6, investing more resources into this upcoming FPS title than any previous game in the series. A portion of this investment is likely dedicated to combating cheats since it’s known that widespread cheating can drive away players and lead them to other games. However, dealing with cheats and anti-cheat measures is an ongoing challenge that requires continuous adaptation.
