Playerunknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) has always had to deal with cheaters who have affected the gaming experience of other players. The developers are aware of this and are constantly working on improvements to create a clean and safe gaming environment. The latest step in this direction is the overhaul of the reporting system.
Expansion of Reporting Options
The most important point in the system overhaul is the expansion of reporting options. Previously, only players who killed or were noticeable in spectator mode could be reported. With the latest update, there is now also the option to report players who have only injured but not killed others.
The developers have implemented this to prevent cheaters from evading reporting by not killing or being noticeable. There were concerns that this could lead to an increase in false reports, but the developers have implemented an AI that evaluates the reports based on certain criteria and filters out false reports. This has increased the accuracy in detecting cheaters.
Reorganization of Report Categories
Another improvement can be seen in the reorganization of report categories. Currently, there are only four categories for illegal software, which is not sufficient in many cases. New categories will be created to be able to address the type of fraud even more precisely. For example, players who earn XP by repeating certain actions or those who advertise in voice chats or team up with cheaters can be reported.
Improvement of Categorization for the Use of Illegal Software
Another focus will be on improving the categorization for the use of illegal software. Currently, players can only select four categories, which do not always accurately describe the type of fraud. By integrating better categorization, reports will become more accurate and precise. In the future, there will also be an option for players to describe the incident in more detail to help.
In summary, PUBG continues to take a strong stance against cheaters and improves the reporting system to more effectively combat fraud. Players are encouraged to report as many cheats as possible to make the game fairer for everyone.
