Over 100,000 points in the leaderboard?

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4

Summarize your bug Apparently this bug/glitch happens when people abuse the squad system bug and kept on getting free battle points, exp and that gives them a lot of points in the leader board.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know how the people who went over 100,000 were doing it but I happened to did some research and find how they did it on You tube. If you search up 'Star wars battlefront 2 unlimited EXP' and filter to this month, you will see a video about it. I will also attached a picture of it as well when I ran into people who were doing it during Geonosis.
What happens when the bug occurs? Unlimited exp and unlimited battle points = more points in the leader board.
What do you expect to see? This needs to be fixed asap because people are abusing the system.

Hey @Tomapestes

This was mentioned in the latest Community Transmission.

KNOWN ISSUES

In order to ensure scoring fairness, we have currently disabled the scoring event when a player squad spawns on you. We are investigating the causes of the exploit and will proceed to a fix at a later update.

Yeah this happened to me last night when I played with a friend. One of our random squad mates kept spawning on our squad and I think we ended up with over 100K each. This definitely should get fixed ASAP because it takes the fun out of the game and ruins the integrity of it. Plus I received many nasty messages from other people accusing me of hacking even though I had no idea what was going on and wasn't the one exploiting the glitch. Please take the time and fix this glitch.

I noticed that outrageous scoring manipulation as well. When I came into a game I saw a person points grow continuously & by the time the game was over they had a final score of 515,502 & only eliminated like 4 people (whereby I had 25 eliminations and a score of 11,808), & their victory pose was an Officer. I actually took some pics/video of this madness. Sad when you spend over a whole year trying to accomplish goals & people complete it in just a day with this glitch. I hope they have a fix for it really soon.

Hi, the same thing happened to me, and when I did research on YouTube they created a new technique to hack the game, using the reappearance as a base, with very little elimination up to 100, 000 pts, this caused me to damage several games in the I did not get a first place I deserved, I hope they fix this situation, because it is becoming a major issue for the healthy competition of the game
