PUBG Mobile Takes Strong Measures Against Cheaters

From May 17 to May 23, 2024, PUBG Mobile made significant strides in its ongoing battle against cheating. During this week, they permanently banned 522,718 player accounts and 15,398 devices. Additionally, the team took down 889 online cheat advertisements that had amassed a total of 672,293 followers and views​.

The anti-cheat efforts are part of PUBG Mobile’s Ban Pan 2.0 system, an upgraded security measure designed to maintain a fair gaming environment. This system uses advanced technologies like the Fog of War Anti-Cheat system, which limits the information that cheating software can access by only sending visible data to players’ devices. This effectively prevents hackers from seeing other players through walls or other obstructions​.

Ban Pan 2.0 also includes an improved AI for detecting suspicious behavior and issuing penalties automatically. This AI isolates suspected cheaters for further investigation, ensuring that legitimate players are not affected. The system also features the Eagle Review System, where senior investigators review suspicious matches in real-time to make accurate decisions about bans​.

The weekly report revealed that a significant portion of bans were for using third-party plugins to modify gameplay, with 60% of cheaters using such methods. Other common cheats included aimbots, wallhacks, speed hacks, and modifications that increase bullet damage​.

PUBG Mobile encourages players to report suspicious activities through the improved UI, which makes it easier and faster to submit reports. This collaborative approach between the developers and the community aims to ensure a level playing field for all players​​.

This comprehensive crackdown on cheating is part of PUBG Mobile’s commitment to providing a fair and enjoyable gaming experience. By removing tens of thousands of cheaters and blocking devices used for hacking, PUBG Mobile continues to enhance its security measures and maintain its integrity as one of the world’s most popular mobile games​.
