It is an approach that, according to the developers, is already bearing fruit as they have announced that in the last week they have detected and banned over 2.2 million cheaters.<\/p>\n
The developers broke down the types of cheats that have been detected. Out of the 2,245,936 accounts permanently suspended <\/p>\n
\n
- 52% were using X-Ray Vision (wall hacks)<\/li>\n
- 23% Auto-Aim Cheats (aimbots)<\/li>\n
- 8% Speed cheats<\/li>\n
- 6% Modification of character model<\/li>\n
- 6% Modification of area damage<\/li>\n
