EA Says Battlefield 6’s Javelin Has Blocked 2.39 Million Cheat Attempts

The publisher reports roughly 2% of matches include cheaters following launch.

No cheating.
Cheaters using sniper rifles to dominate entire servers is a big problem in many FPS games, but so far, Battlefield 6's anticheat defenses have held strong.

Overview

  • EA reports identifying 190 cheat programs and vendors, with 183 showing failures, downtime, or takedowns after Javelin’s deployment.
  • Match Infection Rate was about 2% in launch week and has hovered around 2.3–2.5% in the weeks since.
  • Javelin operates at the kernel level and leverages OS security features, with Secure Boot adoption rising from 62.5% to 92.5% during the open beta.
  • Planned steps include exploring TPM 2.0, HVCI, and VBS requirements, stepping up detection of cheating hardware, improving in‑game reporting, and upgrading internal tooling.
  • Community concerns over kernel-level access and privacy continue, while player anecdotes and EA’s metrics point to low encounter rates with cheaters.
