Reporting system not implemented properly

How do I report someone when:
* Their name is in Chinese (Or any other language / number sequence / curious arrangement)
* I don't speak Chinese
* I don't read Chinese
* I can't type Chinese
* The kill feed flashes by
* I didn't necessarily even see the kill panel
* They aren't listed in the recently met
* I can't search because of the above reasons
* I wasn't recording the game

And then pick any combination of these issues, sometimes all of them. How are we meant to report hackers or abusers?

    Ah, my apologies, I completely missed that you were talking specifically about the Battle Royale mode.
    You're absolutely right in BR the situation is very different.

    There’s no scoreboard, no persistent player list, and the kill feed disappears almost instantly, so the usual reporting methods simply don’t exist in this mode. That’s exactly why reporting BR cheaters feels impossible: the game doesn’t give players any reliable way to identify someone once the moment has passed.

    These are the only practical options available at the moment (based on what I know):

    Use the in‑game report menu the moment it happens In BR, the only reliable window is the death screen. If you manage to catch their name there, you can report directly from that panel. Once it disappears, the game gives you no way to retrieve it.

    Enable instant replay / background recording Since BR has no logs or player list, recording is the only guaranteed method. On PC, tools like Nvidia ShadowPlay, AMD ReLive, or Windows “Record last 30 seconds” can capture the kill and the attacker’s name even if you missed it in real time.

    External trackers don’t support BR properly Sites like Tracker.gg don’t list BR matches the same way they list Conquest or other modes, so you’re absolutely right, you can’t rely on them to identify players after the match.

    Personally, I’d say that a proper kill/death log or a replay system would solve this entirely. Battlefield used to have full server logs and spectator tools, and BR desperately needs something similar. A persistent kill log or a replay viewer would finally make reporting cheaters actually possible, just like in Warzone or Fortnite.

    You’re not wrong about the Singapore servers either! A lot of players have been reporting aim‑bots and ESP users there. Without proper tools, the only real workaround is capturing your own footage.

    I really hope EA will add a proper kill log or replay system soon, because BR simply doesn’t give players the tools they need to report possible cheaters.

    During the match: There is no scoreboard or player list in BR.

    After the match: I'm not sure if tracker.gg gives BR results - and how would I pick them if their name flashed by and I missed it?

    We need a log of deaths, with links to the player. Or a game recording - this would be the best option, like BF used to have in the past.

    There are a lot of hackers on the Singapore server. From aim-bots to ESP.

  • Hi De4dStack​,

    The issue you’re running into is definitely annoying, and it happens more often than people think in modern FPS games.
    When a player uses non‑Latin characters (Chinese, Cyrillic, etc.), identical number strings (like 111111111), or those weird “lIllIlIl” type names, trying to track them down feels impossible.

    Still, there are a couple of practical tricks that make reporting them a lot easier, even if you can’t type their name or didn’t catch the kill feed:

    During the match:
    Don’t rely on the kill feed. Open the in‑game scoreboard or the full server player list instead. Look for the impossible stats (like 60–1) or the name you can’t read, click it directly, and report them from there.

    After the match:
    If the round is already over, check your own profile on a site like Battlefield Tracker.  Open your last match, scroll through the enemy team, and you’ll spot them immediately by their score. From there you can just copy‑paste their name into an EA support ticket.

    Also, if you’re on console or have instant replays enabled on PC like Nvidia ShadowPlay, use the “Record last 30 seconds” feature right after you get killed. This gives you plenty of time after the match to rewatch the clip and take a screenshot of their name.

    Just a small reminder:
    These steps are great for catching actual abusers, but sometimes those insane stats or unbelievable shots really are just skill, not cheating.
