Match Infection Rate Peaked at 5.61% in May
EA's May anticheat report puts the Match Infection Rate peak at 5.61% on the 11th, up from 4.81% at the start of the month, before new detections dropped it to 3.14% by the 19th. It climbed back to 5.09% by month's end as cheat sellers pivoted to spoofing TPM 2.0. EA Javelin blocked 218,695 cheat attempts across a month that closed Season 2 and opened Season 3 with ranked play.
The rate swung with each detection wave before EA moved to enforce full TPM 2.0 compliance. The team frames the mid-month spike as familiar tooling rather than anything new:
