Javelin Anticheat Stopped 333K Cheat Attempts in March
Javelin Anticheat blocked 333,832 cheat or tampering attempts in March, per the monthly transparency post. The Match Infection Rate — share of matches touched by a suspected cheater — sat between 2.30% and 3.27% across the month, climbing toward Season 3 as cheat-dev activity ramped up. Javelin is now tracking 226 cheat-related programs, 96% of which report broken features or downtime.
"During this time, our Anticheat teams also similarly shift focus from emptying our stores of new detections back into building them up, resulting in a fairly stable period for players." — Battlefield 6 Anticheat team
The team explained that the seasonal transition typically sees both more cheat activity and a shift in Anticheat strategy — fewer new detections deployed during the run-up to a season, more saved for a coordinated release once the new content lands. Daily MIR ended the month higher than it started, reflecting that ramp.
