[2020] The game feels like it's in a really good place right now... except for the cheaters.

The game feels like it's the best it's been, software wise, in quite a long time. Perhaps ever. This latest patch has little/no stutter, no major performance issues or game breaking bugs, and it introduced exciting new content - the ability for drivers to shoot, and the dirt bike. I'm very happy with the game right now. I think the worst bug I've seen in this patch is the inability to use the word "test" in the new lobby text chat.

The players, on the other hand... Cheating feels like it's out of control right now. I primarily play NA duo FPP, and it feels like every second or third round I die to a cheater. It's unfortunate that the nature of Battle Royale games makes cheating so much of a problem versus traditional games.

Hey! Thank you for your feedback, man! I agree, my matches have been smooth and my squad and I haven't experienced any performance issues either. There are a few minor bugs that have been reported and are being looked into!

On the account of cheaters, I share your frustration. Cheating definitely has potential for a larger impact in BR titles than in other, traditional shooter games. Even though we cannot simply talk about changes and improvements that the AC team is constantly making to our detection systems we can say that they are non stop working on bettering the systems. It's a never ending cat and mouse game.

Additionally, we, the community team, have launched an initiative last week that allows us to work with players and ban those that circumvent our AC systems! We share the same passion for the game as you and want to help as much as we can!

Our system, PUBG Shield allows players to submit reports of cheaters and review reports made by other players. Peer reviewed reports make their way to us, the community team, where we can issue bans based on our final review so I want to encourage you and everyone to join our official Discord and head to #pubg-shield channel in order to gain access to the system and start reporting!
