Dear Battlefield 6 Developers,
I would like to draw your attention to serious issues regarding the anti-cheat system and the overall state of fair play in the game.
Why does the anti-cheat system largely ignore AI-based cheats such as Aimmy AI, Sunone AI, and similar tools? These programs do not inject code into memory or modify game files. Instead, they operate externally by analyzing the screen and controlling aim through hardware or emulated input devices such as KMBox, Arduino, Makcu, and similar solutions.
In these cases, the player is not using standard mouse input, which prevents the anti-cheat from detecting violations. This represents a fundamental and long-known vulnerability, yet no effective countermeasures appear to be in place.
Another concern is the unrestricted use of macros through official peripheral software (Razer G Hub, Logitech G Hub, etc.). This goes beyond simple keybinds and includes recoil compensation scripts, semi-automatic aiming, tracking, and other hidden assistance features that effectively function as cheats while remaining “allowed” by the system.
There is also the broader issue of undetected cheat programs. Many tools operate for months without bans, are openly advertised, and widely used. This lack of visible response creates a sense of impunity and significantly undermines trust in the anti-cheat system.
Additionally, several known and actively abused exploits negatively affect match fairness and balance:
- Abuse of network synchronization issues (desync, artificial latency, packet manipulation) that provide advantages in firefights
- Exploitation of hit registration bugs and animation issues for unfair shooting or movement advantages
- Exploits related to accelerated experience gain, weapon progression, and challenge completion outside normal gameplay
- Circumventing server restrictions through non-standard clients, device emulation, or manipulation of connection parameters
- Recurring vulnerabilities that allow access to information about opponents beyond intended game mechanics, including via UI or network-side channels
The community also continues to face technical issues that directly affect gameplay quality:
- Hit registration and synchronization problems, where shots fail to register correctly, especially in fast-paced firefights or high-ping situations
- PC optimization and performance issues, where even high-end systems experience FPS drops, micro-stutters, and long texture or animation loading times, negatively affecting gameplay and potentially giving advantages to players benefiting from specific setups or bugs
At launch, Battlefield 6 reportedly had around 700,000 players. Today, a significant portion of that audience has left. One major reason is the perception that “almost everyone is using something,” while honest players feel increasingly disadvantaged. In this context, claims such as “98% fair matches” feel disconnected from player experience and further erode trust.
Battlefield 6 has real potential and a future, but only if fair play is genuinely protected, modern anti-cheat circumvention methods are addressed, and core technical issues — especially hit registration — are fixed promptly.
