Like many other online shooting games, Escape from Tarkov must constantly fight to keep the game free of cheaters. Escape from Tarkov has anti-cheat software, and the game recently enacted a new community system in which volunteers report suspected cheaters before turning it over to developer Battlestate Games for further investigation. And now Battlestate has a new tool to combat cheaters: shame.
According to Techcrunch, Battlestate banned more than 6,700 accounts last week and all the accounts appeared in a single file. google doc regularly updated. This move not only names the cheaters, but also gives Escape from Tarkov players more evidence. Battlestate representative Dmitri Ogorodnikov said, “We want honest players to see the names of cheaters to know that justice has been served and that the cheater who brought them down in the game has been punished, fined, and banned.”

Battlestate has a history of harsh words for cheaters. Last week, CEO Nikita Buyanov called hackers and cheaters “the scum of the earth” and urged players to “report all these morons.” The same Reddit post also assures players that Battlestate is banning “several thousand cheaters a day” following a recent spike in hacking. Most players support the move to post banned account names, but some are skeptical of this move by the developer.
