Electronic Arts has taken a bold step in its fight to keep the competitive environment of Battlefield 6 clean. As of today, the studio has begun permanently banning players who use the Cronus Zen device, a peripheral that simulates artificial advantages such as auto-aiming or reduced recoil.

This accessory, although not considered a “cheat” in the classical sense, has been heavily criticized by gaming communities and multiplayer game developers. In titles like Call of Duty: Warzone or Rainbow Six Siege, it had already sparked controversy by offering unfair advantages through macros and scripts that alter the natural behavior of controllers.

Cronus Zen in the crosshairs of Battlefield 6‘s anti-cheat system

The Battlefield Studios team confirmed that their anti-cheat system now automatically detects the use of unauthorized devices like Cronus Zen and executes immediate and permanent bans. According to EA, the goal is to protect the integrity of the multiplayer mode and ensure that player skill is the only determining factor in each match.

The measure is part of an expansion of the Fair Play program, which monitors both toxic behavior and the use of external tools. The company has reminded players that any attempt to manipulate gameplay (whether through unapproved software or hardware) will be punished without appeal.

With this move, EA reinforces its zero-tolerance message towards any form of unfair advantage, reaffirming its commitment to offering a fair and balanced experience in Battlefield 6, where each encounter must be resolved on merit and not through external help.
