Free Fire , a Battle Royale game by Garena , continued its success in 2022, as the year started on a high, with the title at the top of the most downloaded list. The game was also the eighth most profitable mobile game with over $1.1 billion in revenue in 2021.

Despite being banned in India , the game emerged as the most downloaded mobile game in February, according to a report by Sensor Tower. With so many concurrent users enjoying the game regularly, keeping track of everyone manually becomes a challenge.

That's where anti-hack comes in. It detects any irregularities in each player's gameplay and punishes cheaters with a permanent suspension. Additionally, Free Fire officials post about suspended accounts every two weeks to punish cheaters and raise awareness among players.

Free Fire banned more than 2.4 million accounts

Garena reports that it has banned around 2.4 million accounts for using hacks to try to gain an unfair advantage in the last two weeks. According to the biweekly report, 2,460,517 accounts were suspended for hacking, to be precise. Players reported 58.47% of accounts that were banned.

Reasons for the account to be banned on Free Fire

• 1. 36.8% of hacks used wallhacks, allowing them to shoot attackers from behind walls.
• 2. Antenna Hack, which reveal the position of enemies in the game, were used by 32.7%.
• 3. Auto-aim was used by 22.2% of cheaters, allowing them to aim at the enemy effortlessly.
• 4. Teleportation hacks, which allow the character to travel much faster than other players, resulted in 5% of users being banned.
• 5. 3.3% of banned accounts used hacks not specified by Garena.

Garena also gave some behavioral tips to the players

• 1. Do not use mod version or any unauthorized tools.
• 2. Do not modify template files or take advantage of glitches/bugs.
• 4. Don't partner with hackers intentionally.
• 5. Do not provide your account information to any website or channel other than Garena.

“We also want to remind all Survivors not to team up with hackers. The battle against hackers is an ongoing mission for us. For a better gaming experience for everyone, we once again remind players not to use hacks.”

Finally, Garena informed fans that they would guarantee stricter punishments against cheaters, as their detection methods are constantly improving. Last month, the company banned around 5 million accounts .
