Money wasted again, BF 6 is a cheaters paradise.
Battlefield 6 is plagued by cheaters, and EA’s Javelin anti-cheat system is failing to deliver meaningful protection—leaving players frustrated and fed up.
Despite Battlefield 6’s impressive launch numbers and the excitement surrounding its new battle royale mode, Redsec, the game is already overrun with cheaters. Less than a day after release, players began reporting widespread hacking and exploit abuse in multiplayer lobbies. From aimbots to wallhacks, the integrity of competitive matches is being compromised—and the community is demanding answers.
EA’s response? A kernel-level anti-cheat system called Javelin, which was supposed to be the silver bullet. Instead, it’s become a punchline. Not only has Javelin failed to stop cheaters effectively, but it’s also caused serious compatibility issues—blocking SteamOS users and interfering with AMD Ryzen CPUs by disabling core parking, which hurts performance. Some players have even experienced blue screens and system crashes due to the anti-cheat software itself.
EA claims Javelin has blocked over 330,000 cheaters, but admits that it’s not a comprehensive solution. Their Secure Boot feature, meant to reinforce anti-cheat measures, has also proven unreliable. Players are still encountering blatant cheaters daily, and many feel that EA is more focused on optics than actual enforcement.
The frustration is boiling over in forums and social media. Longtime fans of the franchise are calling for stronger moderation, faster ban waves, and transparency about what EA is doing to protect fair play. Right now, it feels like the cheaters are winning—and EA’s silence is deafening.
If you’re a Battlefield veteran or just someone who values competitive integrity, this situation is a slap in the face. EA needs to step up, overhaul Javelin, and show the community that they’re serious about keeping the battlefield clean
