"PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds" or more commonly known as "PUBG" is definitely one game that has revived the battle royale genre. With millions of players both on PC and Xbox One even before their official releases, it is not surprising that there would be cheaters in the game. Thankfully enough, the time has come for them to be banned as a big ban wave is reportedly coming.
While version 1.0 is still new on PC via Steam, the "PUBG" team is now focusing on hackers and cheaters. "We recently discovered a new pattern of cheats in action. This week, we performed a thorough gameplay date review of 10 million players and completed analysis of tens of millions of data logs," reads their blog update.
As it turns out, these tens of millions of data logs found over 100,000 "instances of the new pattern." "These players will be permanently banned in a single wave," the update continues. For obvious reasons, they will not discuss the details of this cheat pattern. Needless to say, with their aggressive action of cheaters, it would not be surprising to see more waves of banned players.
The PUBG team is even taking legal action in countries that allow them to do so especially against the source of the cheats. They will be adding and implementing more security systems to the game most likely in the next update.
Speaking of the next update, it will also fix some bugs like when the death cam apparently shows that there seems to be no recoil on players. While this looks like a cheat, the "PUBG" team acknowledges it as a bug rather than a cheat. They are also planning to make adjustments to the blue zone.
This is not the first time they have banned players as they did so back in December. It definitely will not be the last either.
