Cheaters Invade Battlefield 6 Open Beta, EA Claims 330K Attempts Blocked

If you keep getting insta-killed in Battlefield 6, it’s not always due to the game’s fast time-to-kill or a sneaky sniper. Even in the open beta stage, the game is already swarming with cheaters using powerful hacks. With cross-playenabled by default, this issue affects all players—not just those on PC.

Viral Video Exposes the Problem

The cheater issue exploded after a viral video with over 7 million views showed a player using colored ESP boxes to track allies and enemies: blue for teammates, purple for opponents, and orange for enemy vehicles.

According to DICE, the player shown in the footage has already been banned.

Javelin Anti-Cheat Struggles

Despite the introduction of Javelin Anti-Cheat, which requires Secure Boot enabled on PC, cheaters are still finding ways to bypass detection. Many gamers criticize this requirement as invasive and inconvenient, since it demands deeper system access.

Cheat-selling sites are already offering a variety of hacks for Battlefield 6, including:

• Aimbot

• Wallhack

• Super speed movement

• No recoil and reduced bullet spread

Worse, some cheats are designed to appear natural enough to fool detection systems.

Suspicious Stats Fuel Player Concerns

Many players are now reporting suspicious lobby statistics, where certain players score kills several times higher than anyone else. This adds more frustration to the beta experience.

EA: Over 330,000 Cheat Attempts Blocked

EA admitted that Secure Boot is not a silver bullet solution, but rather an additional barrier to slow cheat developers down.

So far, EA claims that:

• 330,000 cheat attempts were blocked during the beta

• 100,000 player reports have been filed against cheaters

• The Gameplay Integrity and Positive Play teams are actively reviewing reports

Still, EA reminds players not to assume every sudden death is caused by cheating—sometimes it’s simply the result of an opponent’s quick reflexes.

Conclusion

The Battlefield 6 Open Beta has already highlighted the ongoing struggle between game developers and cheat makers. While Javelin Anti-Cheat has blocked hundreds of thousands of attempts, the cat-and-mouse game continues as cheat providers update their hacks.

With the game’s official launch approaching, fans hope that EA and DICE will strengthen their anti-cheat measures to ensure a fair, balanced multiplayer experience.
