Name a few popular FPS titles that has very few cheaters

Take a look at Rainbow6:Siege which is a very popular game and still growing.

I'm playing it since closed alpha and since then they improved a lot with anticheat.

The early days in alpha/beta devs didn't want to listen that we need better anticheat and once the game released it got hit hard by cheaters just like apex because every 14 year old kid could easily programm a cheat that bypasses poor anticheat (same like in Apex right now).

When the playbase took a huge drop devs started to listen and implemented Fairfight and Battleeye together which resulted after some weeks of data collecting in an incredible huge banwave (even some ProGamer from ESL got banned who cheated with a second monitor).

Since then the playbase started to grow realy huge so the game became actually one of the most successfull tactical FPS shooter with huge payouts on tournaments.

There are still some cheaters, like in every game.... But you rarely meet them if myou meet any at all(only in highranked games sometimes) but they get banned fast and on top of it their name gets public announced ingame .... Basicly Name&Shame.

Some devs actually are even in some "invite only" hacker groups to have a look at their code.... And this way they could ban hundreds of private cheat users some weeks ago.

By the way..... It was EAC back then, that failed to stop cheaters.

Thank you so much for this input.

So do you think Rainbow6:Siege's success against cheaters was related to the non-F2P nature ?

Nope... Because people didn't care since you could get a key for 2,50$ usually sold by the same sites that sold cheats.

It was more their proactive approach at the end once they realized something needs to be done.

Their new anticheat tools automaticly flag people if something seems off like behavior patterns (too often pointing at walls or checking them where an ebemy is behind even there was no camera or drone use for example), takes screenshots if you got flagged and automaticly bans people who act too obvious, had ESP in their screenshot or did a mistake with their battleeye bypass (which isn't an easy task... That's why you don't get any public cheats for it only privat ones. The remaining publics are scams).

Additional they managed to get some smurf into the big private cheat sellers.

Basicly they don't wait for reports over reports and videoevidence, etc (what they did the first year, just like apex), they're very activ at fighting these people.... Because it's the only way to keep the cheater amount at a Minimum. Waiting for reports wont help at all

Apex Legends, PubG, Overwatch.

//True for EU and NA, have no idea about other regions.

P.S. I consider meeting no more than 1 in 100 games as "very few".

Popular FPS games always have cheaters. If you want to find an FPS without cheaters you need to look to unpopular ones. Rainbow Six Siege has a ton of cheaters, hence the huge ban waves that happen every 6 months. During the huge ban waves the game gets cleaned up and it is a joy to play, but there are cheaters, else they would not need huge ban waves every six months.

I guess FPS games with small player base tend to not have as many cheaters, as cheaters want to ruin other peoples games to feel superior a dead game does not appeal to cheaters.

So if you want to find games with not cheaters, just look for FPS games with a small playerbase.

I see, the only other FPS title I am familiar with is Overwatch at Blizzard's China server. Here has literally no cheaters in China server during the 20 months I have played.

I think Blizzard and its Chinese partner are taking cheating in Overwatch quite serious.

There is a public billboard of all those banned player's IDs on website each month ( probably including mine in February 2019 just for saying something against China !!! )

Actually I am feeling kind of ok with cheaters, I mean after all they did not win anything, they just spent time kill other players, which proved nothing.

So the only thing is you are playing with different kind of humans on this planet, 14 years old let's say, those kids to have a rage to dominate the adult's world, they are those incomplete humans yet participate in whatever they could join.

PubG was playable even when it literally had no anticheat at all. Although, you could see wonky things in pretty much every game, the game was still playable. Games with anticheat that is constantly worked on are not going to have cheater problems. So you may as well stop thinking about it and enjoy the game.

EAC doesn't seem to be a state-of-the-art masterpiece, but it's being worked on and I have faith in it not lagging too far behind the cheater's progress. It's doing fine for now, we'll see if it can keep up. And if it can't, well as long as the game is generating revenue, they can find alternative solutions.

If they sold the game ditched the match making and went back to private hosting servers in the hands of players

#1 the Profits

#2 we can get back the admin power abuse videos

#3 Hardware bans per server or shared 

#4 Ip and Region banning bye bye China Russia

#5 Lag Switchers would get crushed

#6 I'm on a roll made of Nutella

Well, not sure what you are talking about except banning China and Russia which I do not agree.
