What is EA and Battlefield going to do about cheating?

Can we have an honest discussion about cheating or at least a real solution? It’s going to happen, it’s been happening since BF4. It’s the plague in COD! Even with the mass amounts of bans constan...

manhimself1876 Please see our Battlefield 6 FAQ here:

What anticheat measures will Battlefield 6 have in place?

Javelin Anticheat is EA’s evolving approach to ensuring that our players enjoy a fair gaming experience across all of our published titles.

Javelin has been built from the ground up by a team of veteran engineers and analysts focused on studying cheating problems for each specific game under EA’s umbrella and designing unique features to solve those issues.

Javelin is already part of other Battlefield titles, including Battlefield Labs, and will be integrated in Battlefield 6 when the game launches.

Thanks.

Anti‑Cheat Technology: EA Javelin
Battlefield 6 will launch with EA’s proprietary anti‑cheat system, Javelin, running at the kernel level from day one. This means it operates at the deepest possible layer of your system, allowing it to detect sophisticated cheats that hide from traditional, user-level tools.

Javelin replaced older solutions like Easy‑Anti‑Cheat and was first deployed in Battlefield 2042, where it prevented over 33 million cheat attempts across 2.2 billion PC sessions as of April 2025. It already protects multiple EA titles.

EA states that Cheat detection is now 99% accurate, with enhancements cutting the encounter rate with cheaters in Battlefield 2042 by about 50%.
GameSpot

The system only runs while a protected EA game is active, and is designed to uninstall itself if no such games remain on the system. EA also asserts it limits its access strictly to what's necessary for anti‑cheat—nothing more.

  Not really. EA have never used a kernel level, client side system before. No one really knows it's success rate of course, but a kernel level system would be harder to get around for cheat developers, especially because they are requiring Secure Boot with TPM 2.0 enabled...

    Hey, I’m down for what ever, still would rather have a no threshold for it. A verified player side or something. The track record is new system new cheats. So the only way I see around it is, verified players can’t get back into a system they’ve been removed from.
