Unsurprisingly, players of the Battlefield 6 open beta have found exploits, which has brought in a wave of cheaters to the new shooter.
Cheating in video games is a huge money-making business, and if cheat creators can find a way in to the latest game, it means big bucks, and Battlefield 6 is already falling foul of those looking for an easy win.
As reported by IGN, cheaters are already circumnavigating the strict anti-cheat features of the beta, which requires Secure Boot on PC.
This has prompted EA Games to put out a statement about the cheating, how they aim to combat it, and reveals how many cheaters have already felt the banhammer.

Of course, this is an issue for PC players, but it trickles down to everyone due to the cross-platform features of online play.
Just because you’re playing on a console, doesn’t mean you won’t come across a cheater in your match of Battlefield.
In the statement, EA noted that “Secure Boot is not, and was not intended to be, a silver bullet. It’s another barrier that helps us make it harder for cheat developers to create cheat programs”
Cheaters will always appear where there is online competition, and it proves to be one of the hardest things for developers to fight against.
However, the team at DICE, along with players reporting cheaters, are helping to curb the issue.
Further into the statement, it’s noted that the team has prevented over “330,000 attempts to cheat or tamper with anti-cheat controls”.
They have also received over 44,000 reports pointing to instances of cheating during the first day of the beta, and a further 60,000 since then.
Both the publisher and development team will continue to work against both cheaters and those who create and program cheats to operate in the new game.
