@KODAK_FB DICE doesn't have anything to report on AC yet but according to recent dev interviews this subject will be discussed before launch.

Expect the same as it is now; a placebo report button to ease your mind, nothing more. 🤨

@zenn_nme While I understand your rightfully skeptical position, EA is a business and they have to be aware of how recent AC blunders have negatively affected BF1/5 and even Warzone's player populations and willingness to purchase MTXs and Battlepasses. Given that type of monetary affect I'm sure they have put a lot of effort into addressing AC - the only real question in my mind is how effective will those efforts be given the cheat makers recent efforts?

you can expect all the same hacks that have worked since BF4 to keep on working.
but we can " hope " things get better.

  Console is the largest group and where all the money is. I expect EA to do the same as they have done since BF4.
  
  Comes with a lot of hot air about them working on it and taking it seriously while we experience the opposite.
  
  I lost confidence a long time ago.

    @SirBobdk Sadly this is going to be the new norm, as proven by previous titles. I don't see them having an effective AC at all, zero confidence. I do not know whether its lack of financial incentive or what. It has become quite clear that it is either impossible OR not financially feasible to have a working AC based upon previous titles. The lack of integrity within online multiplayer games becomes increasingly distressing every year.

  @zenn_nme The stolen data is a huge unknown and a very important unknown factor
