Battlefield 6 developer EA has revealed huge results for its Javelin anti-cheat system, confirming that it has stopped 2.4 million cheating attempts since the game’s launch on October 10, and in the first week alone, 98% of matches were fair and completely free of cheater influence, according to the new report.
This success was not a fleeting moment, but part of a broader strategy that EA plans to develop in the face of the growing wave of cheating in shooter games.
EA explained that during the open beta alone, the system succeeded in stopping 1.2 million cheating attempts, reflecting the magnitude of the challenge the game has been facing since its early stages, and despite the game’s official launch, cheaters are still trying to cheat in new and varied ways.
The EA team confirmed that they are currently monitoring 190 cheating-related programs, tools, or platforms, and since launch, 183 of them (96.3%) have announced the failure of their services, tools, or features after being detected by Javelin.
In addition, EA is preparing to expand the capabilities of its system through several initiatives, including exploring additional security features at the operating system level, taking action against customized cheating devices, improving in-game reporting methods, enhancing internal process monitoring tools, and unannounced covert initiatives to keep moves secret and undetectable to cheat developers
The team emphasized that several development groups are working in parallel on new features and that some features will be announced as soon as testing is complete, while others will be kept secret so as not to send early messages to those trying to spoil the experience.
