Following the Early Access period, the Battlefield 6 Open Beta is now live, giving players their first opportunity to experience the upcoming first-person shooter ahead of its launch. As with most online multiplayer titles, cheating and hacking quickly became hot topics of discussion. Despite EA’s confirmation that Battlefield 6 would ship with its new Javelin anti-cheat system, the beta has already seen instances of wallhacking and other exploits.
In a detailed thread on the EA forums, the EA Gameplay Integrity team reported that over 330,000 cheating or tampering attempts were blocked during the Early Access period alone. Player vigilance also played a key role, with 44,000 reports filed on Day 1 and another 60,000 on Day 2 of the beta.
The post emphasizes that these measures are just the beginning. Player reports and blocked attempts help the anti-cheat system improve over time, with EA continually updating Javelin to adapt to new methods used by cheaters. With the Open Beta now in full swing, these numbers are expected to climb even higher, but developers believe the data gathered now will help deliver a cleaner multiplayer experience on launch day.
The community response to Battlefield 6’s reveal and early testing has been largely positive. Even before servers officially went live for Early Access, fans were queuing in large numbers, eager to jump into the action. Many players agree that Battlefield 6 shows strong signs of returning the franchise to form—if the anti-cheat system can maintain its momentum.
Battlefield 6 launches October 10, 2025, and EA’s handling of cheaters in the beta may prove pivotal in securing player trust ahead of release.
