PUBG Ban Wave
- Unlike RoS PUBG crop is cracking down on hackers and cheaters for their battle royale game
- because recently according to the reports the devs banned over 30,000 accounts
- Wow grabe! So all is good!
- however players included to the ban are pro players
- So pro players like TEXQS, Papaya, Cageman, PlayerJones, Hoffmann88, Sezk0, Houlow, Kragen had their accounts banned
- Several teams have already apologised while some players are currently suspended
- Other teams are also in contact with PUBG corp for further details and findings regarding the issue
- So why did they get banned?
- well apparently this is due to the new anti cheating measures of the battleye software that now detects and ban players using “Radar Hacks”
- to those who don't know this is a type of hack that allows the cheater to see the position of all other players in the map
- basically like wallhack or the green characters in Rules of survival
- this type of hack is one of the most complained by the players of PUBG
- and according to PUBG corp this is one of the hacks that is difficult to crack down
- because they send data from the server to an external device via vpn
- this isn't the first time PUBG corp did a massive ban wave as they did this last january with over 1m players getting banned
- they also worked with the the chinese government to arrest hackers in China
- so cheaters can monitor other PUBG players via second monitor or even a smartphone
- currently the anti cheat does not affect PUBG mobile so will probably have a new ban wave this time for mobile users
- what do you think of the wave ban?
