New Delhi: PUBG Corporation has recently launched a massive crackdown on fraudulent players of the world's most famous and biggest game right now - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The company found more than 30,000 accounts accused of employing cheat codes during the game. PUBG has imposed a ban wave which has forced such accounts to shut down. The ban wave has reportedly pulled in several of the game's pro players as well.


PUBG Corp had recently rolled out a new Vikendi snow map for PUBG Mobile users. As per the report by Times Now, the latest update also brought some stricter rules as well as security features to report suspicious accounts.

This came in the wake of other game corps who implemented ban waves on various online games. Similarly, PUBG has also implemented the banhammer on users resorting to Radar Hacking.

Radar hacking is basically where the users employ Radar Hacks to get detailed information from the servers and send the data to an external device via a third-party VPN ensuring higher success and kill rate for the person using the cheat. In simple words, the Radar Hack allows players to see the positions of the opposition player through a second monitor or a smartphone application. Which in case of a normal player if you hear footsteps nearby, you would already be dead.

According to a report in Newsweek, PUBG Corp’s new security features and BattleEye algorithms have helped the company detect and ban accounts using methods such as Radar Hacking to win games and competition.

After the crackdown, many players and users have acknowledged their accounts getting suspended from the game.
