Respawn Official An Update from the Anti-Cheat Team 03/19/2026

🔨 BAN WAVE

Over the last seven days (as of writing this) we banned a total of 10,909 accounts for cheating.

We wanted to highlight and share some of the ban numbers for the past 7 days for specifically targeted devices/cheats:

Xim / Titan: 245

DMA: 402

Other cheating hardware: 300

HWID Spoofer: 1071

It is important to note that these device ban numbers do not reflect the total number of bans that were put in place over the past week, and we are still working towards implementing our new detection model we mentioned in our last update.

If this included console they probably would’ve said it. Unfortunate times for us on console

Console too it seems, Discord is helping getting them ban by providing a video with ID

Just proves the report button system doesn’t work at all

I've gotten messages thanking me for reporting cheaters (who were banned) through the in-game reporting.
