PUBG Bans Nearly 30,000 Accounts Including Pro Players in Radar Hack Ban Wave

PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) with the release of Vikendi snow map has imposed an Anti-Cheat and Reporting feature. Players on PUBG have been experiencing confrontations with cheaters even before the game was officially launched in its Early Access period. The latest incident of the software's usage has resulted in banning 30,000 players on PUBG, including some of the well-known players of the game on the global platform. For those who in the unknown, the Radar Hack cheat helps the players get an unprecedented advantage over other players. The new wave of ban follows the release of the new Vikendi map using its anti-cheat algorithm called BattlEye.

The ban wave also hit fifteen other professional PUBG players including Sezk0, Cageman, PlayerJones, Papaya, Hoffmann88, Houlow, and Kraqen. These guys won't be competing anytime soon unless they prove that the new anti-cheat algorithm got it all wrong. PUBG Corp. wanted to improve their anti-cheat system with their FixPUBG campaign which ended last month.

The current ban wave has only affected players on PC, XBOX and PS4. There have been no reports of such a ban wave on PUBG Mobile till now. It is to be noted that sometimes regular players are also banned by accident and we may see some players being unbanned in the coming days.
