Every game be it a PC, Console or a mobile generic has its own base of cheaters who always tend to spoil the integrity of the former. Be it Counter-Strike or any other Battle Royale, you may come across a cheat in every 2 out of your 5 games.
It really is a mood breaker to see your hard-earned Matchmaking Rating go down the drain to cheaters. So is the case with Battlegrounds Mobile India who lately has been a vigilante towards their player base, eliminating cheaters by handing a permanent ban.
In a bid to further thwart every cheater’s actions, Krafton has decided to deploy hardware bans to those who use illegal software to gain an upper hand to gain an unfair advantage over the rest.
Hardware bans are almost impossible to bypass and it’s the only way out to keep the hackers on the bay. Should a player be handed a hardware ban, he/she won’t be able to create a new account and get back to the game given the type of ban to being this effective.
To everyone’s surprise, this new firmware has already been deployed by Krafton from December 24 onwards as the parent company still awaits to come across any kind of hardware ban reported on its forum.
You can find out the developer notes below :
Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) have indeed been successful in monitoring a plethora of user accounts that have been reported for functioning in an illegal way within the game which was further convicted and banned in the wake of the former.
According to the latest report, the developers of the free to play game banned nearly one lakh accounts in a week’s time frame, between December 13 and December 19.
In addition, the list of these convicted accounts were also published by the team at Krafton and are currently headed to a life-time ban which is supposed to be administered shortly. This follows the previous ban wave which saw over 142,000 BGMI accounts getting blacklisted between December 6 and December 12.
BGMI on its website addressed the community with an open post which stated around 99,583 accounts were permanently banned from Dec 13 ~ Dec 19 followed by the list of the same which was made public by Krafton.
