Battlefield 6 - Anticheat Metrics - March
Hey Soldier,Time for another heartbeat regarding how the ebb and flow of keeping play fair is going.March was the midpoint of Season 2, which brought some changes in strategy as the landscape shifted. Generally, we see increased activity from both cheaters and cheat developers during the transition from the end of one season into the start of the next. During this time, our Anticheat teams also similarly shift focus from emptying our stores of new detections back into building them up, resulting in a fairly stable period for players. March: Results & ImpactMatch Infection Rate: The percentage of matches across the title that were negatively impacted by at least one cheater. This includes all suspected cheaters, even those we might not have enough evidence to enforce against.In March, MIR started at its low point for the month at 2.53%. This continued to increase until it peaked at 3.27% on the 30th. The lowest recorded point was at 2.30% on the 25th. By the start of April, it was at 2.97%. While we released a few targeted detections during this period, it is also when we started to shift back into storing up new detections for increased cheat developer activity ahead of Season 3’s launch.Through March, EA Javelin Anti-Cheat prevented 333,832 attempts to cheat or tamper with the game before they could impact matches. We are still tracking 226 cheat-related programs, hardware solutions, vendors, resellers, and their associated communities.

Hey Soldier,
Time for another heartbeat regarding how the ebb and flow of keeping play fair is going.
March was the midpoint of Season 2, which brought some changes in strategy as the landscape shifted. Generally, we see increased activity from both cheaters and cheat developers during the transition from the end of one season into the start of the next. During this time, our Anticheat teams also similarly shift focus from emptying our stores of new detections back into building them up, resulting in a fairly stable period for players.
