Battlefield 6's anti-cheat has already stopped 330,000 'attempts to cheat' in the open beta, but players are still calling out wallhackers who slip through the net

Like some kind of bat signal for FPS players who like to ruin the fun, the Battlefield 6 open beta's popularity has already attracted a number of cheaters.

Players have found evidence of people using wall hacks to easily track enemies no matter where they go. And it's happening despite EA's kernel-level anti-cheat, Javelin, that is surprisingly picky about what kind of PCs it'll run on. According to a post by EA's anti-cheat team, Secure Boot "is not, and was not intended to be a silver bullet," and the system needs a constant feed of new data to keep up with the different kinds of hacks people deploy. But that doesn't mean the cheaters are getting away clean.
