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?
