With millions of active players per day, Free Fire has risen to prominence on many ranking tables with unprecedented success for Garena. However, the hacking epidemic in the game also started to run rampant due to the gigantic number of players and this actually causes good-mannered players to suffer from unfair competitions while Free Fire developers are trying to tackle it.
Free Fire has operated numerous methods in order to take this issue into custody, from raising players’ awareness to building an anti-cheat system and establishing strict punishment in tow.
Apart from detecting cheaters with the help of anti-cheat software, Free Fire also encourages everybody to report any players who got involved in suspicious activities.
The battle royale title already put a permanent ban on over 30M accounts due to cheating maneuvers. In addition to bi-weekly reports that dish out the stats of banned accounts, Free Fire recently released an anti-ban notice to shed light on how an account can be suspended from the game.
Seven major reasons are as follows:
- Using modified or unauthorized game client.
- Using unauthorized tools that interact with the Free Fire game client.
- Using non-official programs to provide an edge to gameplay.
- Modifying model files to gain unfair advantages.
- Utilizing glitches or bugs to exploit the gaming experience.
- Being reported by multiple players, and detected for abnormal gameplay simultaneously.
- Bypassing Free Fire anti-hack system via illicit local data transfer.
By clarifying the aforementioned details, Free Fire now wants more and more players to know that there will be no exceptions for anyone making use of not only hacking apps/mods but also in-game bugs to gain illegitimate advantages on the battlefield.
Players meanwhile had better not team up with hackers/cheaters to avoid being banned along with them as well. It’s time to bid a farewell to such annoying spoilers!
