Escape From Tarkovdeveloper Battlestate Games has recently shared a new list of players banned from the game over the space of one month thanks to the use of anti-cheat software.
TheGoogle Sheetdetails 16600 banned account names and has been released on the official Tarkov Twitter page, exposing every player banned between July 28 and August 31, 2023. Although it’s fairly disheartening to see so many banned players in one place, it proves that Battlestate games are cracking down on players modifying the game and jeopardizing the experience for others.
BattlEye, the anti-cheat softwareEscape from Tarkovrelies on, identifies whenever a player has modified the game with things like an aimbot or any sort of wall hacking, and bans them automatically, before sending their name to Battlestate Games who then post it publicly to name and shame. The full extent of what BattlEye is capable of can be found on theUbisoft website,for anyone curious.
From July 28 to August 31 with the support of BattlEye anti-cheat more than 16600 cheaters have been banned in Escape from Tarkov.https://t.co/1qamIprX7w #EscapefromTarkovSeptember 9, 2023
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a large list of banned players forEscape From Tarkov, and, while BattlEye is still in action, it won’t be the last, but at least we’ve got more evidence of Battlestate Games cracking down on game manipulation to ensure honest, friendly competition in the future ofTarkov.We can be reassured knowing that cheating is actively being combatted.
Alongside in-game cheating, Battlestate Games is also cracking down on data miners as shared in astatement posted three months ago, but we don’t expect to receive another list of names detailing who has been caught.
