According to a representative of the SPEAR Anti-Cheat system on the official Electronic Arts forum, Javelin has blocked over 330,000 players during the first weekend of testing, which has not yet concluded. Additionally, over 100,000 user reports have been registered, which have helped identify those using illegal software to gain unfair advantages on the battlefield.

A system that evolves to keep the game cheat-free in Battlefield 6

The team behind Battlefield 6 has explained that the system is constantly adapting to detect new cheating methods and expel offenders, with the goal of ensuring a fair competitive environment for all.

The real test will come in the next few hours, when the beta opens up to the entire world without the need for early access codes. This could lead to an increase in the number of cheaters, but with the decisiveness of this first action, everything indicates that EA and DICE are committed to keeping the experience as clean as possible from day one.
