Since Escape from Tarkov's latest major patch, BattleState Games has been pursuing cheaters with renewed aggression. The day after the wipe, the company banned some 3,000 players, and that number has now climbed to almost 10,000. BattleState chief operations officer Nikita Buyanov says the studio has plans to address real-money trading and high pings as well. Taking to the Tarkov subreddit, Buyanov provided players with an update on BattleState's plan for addressing cheating in the game. BattlEye, the anti-cheat solution Tarkov uses, has been responsible for nearly 10,000 bans, and Buyanov says BattleState is working with BattlEye to refine that system to make bans process as quickly as possible. The studio also plans on adding an in-game player report system - although Buyanov writes that reports will be used alongside BattlEye data to make a determination on whether a ban is appropriate. Another tool in development is SMS-based two-factor authentication, although Buyanov admits that cheaters willing to pay $200 for a cheat are likely willing to buy a new SIM card as well.
