The developers of Battlefield 6 summarized the results of the first season of the REDSEC rating mode and announced tightening of the anti-cheating system. Due to the influx of cheaters, the team is reinstating mandatory TPM 2.0 checks.
After analyzing the behavior of offenders, the developers also modified the list of disabled software and devices. It will include solutions that can provide a competitive advantage or bypass Javelin anti-cheat checks. Specifically, XIM, Cronus Zen, Strikepack, and Titan, two devices that allow programming of input sequences or control advantages, are banned. The limitations also include some programming for reassigning keys, adaptive aim, sound radar, and an equalizer that automatically responds to in-game events.
However, assistive devices and software, including the Xbox Adaptive Controller, PlayStation Access Controller, and Steam input, will not be banned. The developers specifically emphasize that app blocking is not just because of the presence of additional functionality, but when it upsets the balance or creates a potential vulnerability against cheating.
In addition, Battlefield 6 will also provide warnings for less serious violations. They will be displayed in the menu, lobby, or while waiting for a respawn so that players can stop bad behavior before being punished more severely. Relevant violations include leaving the map, manipulating matchmaking, abusing bugs, and intentionally causing disruption through voice chat.
