To ensure player experience, Garena has constantly updated the game with new anti-cheats while dealing with hackers. The last banwave has dealt with over a million hacking accounts... and in this article, we are going to analyze them to see which cheat is the most popular amongst hackers.

About the banwave

Hacking has become the most problematic aspect of Free Fire Esports, with quite a few squads getting caught for cheating in the tournaments. This affects both fair play and the game's competitive integrity. They are only detected in the later rounds of tournaments where the admins look into the matches more closely.

They are also going wild in normal unranked play as well. The automatic anti-cheat system can't detect all of the hacks, with over 55% of cheaters were banned by players' reports. A total of 1,058,472 accounts have been banned by Free Fire over the past two weeks for using various hacks.
