I'm not sure how you know this but I don't think so, looking at other games ( CS Go, PUBG, Fortnite, Overwatch).

We dont expect there is zero hacker in the game, everyone knows it's impossible. As long as they control those hackers in acceptable number, I'm already happy.

@xTomboyRespecter  They said in the last update that there will be an update on progress against cheating this week.

"Cheaters

• We’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes. This is something we will always be more secretive about to avoid telegraphing our moves to cheaters, but we’ll be sharing more on the progress made next week."

@warslag 

I am really looking forward to see the anti-cheat progress this week.

How many accounts they banned? (10M accounts or more?)

Or their new anti-cheat system? 

Like those things.

But anyway the current situation is very very BAD (at least,PC version in Asia legion).

I want to know what they will say about it.

🤔

Easiest and fastest solution would be a simple 2-Step-Verification with your Phonenumber.

Most cheaters in the world don´t have "unlimited" phonenumbers to use on a daily basis.

If devs don´t have time, money or experience to code one on their own, then just partner with google auth like ubisoft does.

Once this would be implemented it would buy them some time to implement a different anticheat which is still needed (at best 2 anticheat with different methods like Fairfight+Battleye)

And this is something a lot of us already asked for after the first week of release.

Don't expect game programmer and artist can handle this . Anti-cheat is Easy's business , they made the deal .

I'd do the only thing left that they can do, I would implement a ping/latency/region lock system.

Though I still don't know if this can be circumvented by a VPN or other process. 

I'm currently at the understanding that latency will always be relative to the distance from server to client regardless of how the connection is established.

So in my mind, disallowing players to choose which servers they'll connect to could reallocate cheaters back into their own regions. Maybe then the local populace can put enough pressure on the local legislature to help Respawn by enforcing international copyright laws.

Regionlock will never help against cheaters.... they´re everywhere.

The most well known cheaters who even stream with cheats are ALL american.

Same for europe... no matter which nation you choose, all have a lot of cheaters.

There is only a small difference.... europeans cheat smarter with ESP only or an aimbot that acts more like aimassist so it wont get flagged as aimbot at all.... meanwhile people from the asian continent don´t even try to hide it and people from the american content are inbetween, some smart and some rampant.
