PUBG Mobile clears the air on myths about hacking in their recent blog post.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Mobile has been constantly called out by players who encounter hackers while playing, in the comments section of almost every Tweet of theirs. PUBG Mobile has been offering fair play and ban notices frequently, over the past few months. Given that many players who got banned have reported of being charged falsely, how the developers scrutinize cheaters, has been a constant question and they have finally revealed their process.

The official post also revealed that PUBG Mobile also has a second line of defense to spot players with abnormal in-game behaviour. "Bans happen constantly, in real time, as soon as we detect a cheater. This can be in the middle of a match, or after a review of data shows that someone was indeed cheating. We want to get rid of hackers as fast as possible, waiting isn’t an option!" the post read and explained how player behaviour could be used as a key indicator for cheat detection.

What's next?

The official post mentioned that the devs will invest more service and computing resources to roll out Server Infrastructure improvements that will help in detecting cheaters who try to hide their exploits. The team added that "major improvements" have been made to detection methods and that additional sensitive means of detection on the game's server are being worked on. Meanwhile, PUBG Mobile has already announced a fresh set of hackers who got banned, on October 30, 2019.
