Recently, the Escape from Tarkov shooter from the Battlestate Games studio received a major update that reset the progress of the players. After the patch, the developers reported that their BattlEye anti-cheat system blocked 3 thousand violators, and now this number has grown to 10 thousand. Battlestate is not going to stop and intends to take on sellers and buyers of in-game items for real money.
According to the portal with reference to the source, the new information was shared by Battlestate Executive Director Nikita Buyanov in the Escape from Tarkov thread on Reddit. According to the head, the developers continue to improve BattlEye so that the mechanism responds to violations as quickly as possible. Battlestate also plans to implement a reporting system in which players can report on the scammers they have noticed. The complaints will be used by the Escape from Tarkov anti-cheat in conjunction with other data.
Another mechanism to make life more difficult for cheaters in a shooter will be two-factor authorization via SMS messages. However, Nikita Buyanov fears that violators who buy illegal software for $200 will not be too lazy to purchase several SIM cards.
At the end, the Battlestate CEO mentioned buying and selling items with real money at the in-game flea market. The studio plans to deal with users involved in such fraud, but there is no specifics on this yet.
There is also a possibility that Escape from Tarkov will be banned from entering using a VPN. However, according to Nikita Buyanov, all measures against scammers should be taken carefully, as they can affect ordinary players.
