Battlefield 6 Javelin stopped 580,389 cheating attempts in December

Battlefield Studios reported that its Javelin anti-cheat prevented 580,389 attempts to "cheat or tamper with the game" over the course of December.

The studio published Match Infection Rate (MIR) figures showing the percentage of matches affected by at least one suspected cheater. In December the MIR began at 2.532%, fell to 2.025% and then rose to 3.090% during the holiday period, compared with an October–November peak of 2.580%.

Javelin also tracked 224 cheat-related programs, hardware solutions, vendors, resellers and associated communities, and said 206 of those (91.2%) publicly reported feature failures, detection notices, downtime, or took their cheats offline.

The report noted Javelin is a kernel-level anti-cheat and can conflict with other protections such as Riot’s Vanguard, occasionally preventing Battlefield 6 from launching if Vanguard is running, and said the studio will provide monthly metric updates with the next covering January.
