Escape from Tarkov cheaters now have an in-game bounty on their heads Battlestate GamesDeveloper Battlestate Games will reward Escape from Tarkov players if they report cheaters who get banned. Like countless other online games, hackers and cheaters have run rampant in Battlestate Games\u2019 extraction shooter for quite some time. Escape from Tarkov\u2019s developers have worked tirelessly to alleviate these problems. In March 2023, for example, 6,000 cheaters were banned and exposed, and another 11,000 were ousted in January 2024. However, the fight isn\u2019t over yet, evidenced by the latest effort from the crew at Battlestate Games. Patch notes for Update 0.14.9.5 mention that users can now receive \u201ccompensation for reporting players who violated game rules.\u201d According to the changelog, the game will reward players with in-game currency if their report of a cheater culminates in a ban. The notes further explain, \u201cCompensation comes with an in-game message informing of a successful report. Compensation for several successful reports will be combined.\u201d It\u2019s worth noting the specifics of how this process will work presently remain scant. For one, there is no word on how much currency players will receive for successfully reporting bad actors. Battlestate\u2019s message says nothing of how it will manage the same cheater being reported by multiple players, either. But such a tactic could go a long way in cracking down on Escape from Tarkov\u2019s ongoing problem with cheaters. It\u2019s not a wholly original idea, considering the \u201ccheater victim compensation\u201d system present in Yager Development\u2019s now-dead extraction shooter, The Cycle: Frontier. The difference is that The Cycle\u2019s developers found exploiters, and then compensated players who were unfairly killed by them in matches. How well Escape from Tarkov\u2019s newly introduced compensation system will work out long-term is not yet known. At present, the user base can only hope the effort marks a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
