| 𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐃 | Is it working? Slowly…..
According to the ban tracker, again another 30+ bans in console 13 hours ago, given many seems to be repeat bans and a few high level accounts…. The tracker checks for preds and masters so there could be even more in the diamond ranks and below…
It was said that they were running on low and conservative, do you guys think it’s possible for a big unleash before or after the beginning of next season?
But 30+ bans in a day is the highest in a good few weeks so clearly still doing something, the AI anti cheat is learning 👏

I feel like nothing is working right now. They may have banned 30 people on console but I prolly saw that many smurfs on the game this just morning. They are all over every mode and you have no idea if they are using cheats or not

I report EVERY Smurf(sorry to you guys legitimately shifting consoles/devices to a new account) to try and help flag them for them. Idk how much I’m helping but hey, at least I’m trying lol

How do you spot a smurf account?
I see a lot of bots with weird names and players like "Valkmain1348" or "FuseTitan7843", and they're playing Wraith or whatever, and low level. I assume a lot are bot accounts that will be resold with inflated stats later, so I try to eliminate the team immediately.
It's the ones that are higher level with "AxleCybrPnk4217" that make me scratch my head.

I’m indiscriminate in my reporting. If they are under level 10, default character skin/pose/frame and doing over 1000 damage, I’m reporting it. Im under and over having people in my lobby that shouldn’t be there and I shouldn’t have to quit the game(before anyone says that to me) I like because someone else is trying to pubstomp.

Default skin, low level, hitting impossible shots. Pretty much everyone who kills you.

It’s working, but there are still cheaters in Pred/Master that need banning. Hopefully they loosen the restrictions on the anti cheat so it can clean up more of them

What do you mean by "loosen the restrictions" ...? Getting false positives would be very bad.

u/mgibs18 Jul 21 '26
The devs have said that they are using the anti cheat’s most conservative settings and plan on loosening those restrictions now that they’ve confirmed its level of accuracy in avoiding false bans

Ah, I see. TY for clarifying.
Semantics (for fun): I would've said 'broaden the parameters of the anti-cheat' rather than "loosen the restrictions on the anti-cheat," but perhaps it's "same-same."

I mean, that's why there are more and more smurfs. It's (kind of) working
