PUBG Mobile’s Anti-Cheat System, Fog of War, has Reduced Cheating by 50%

PUBG Mobile has been disrupting cheaters since the release of its anti-cheat software, Fog of War. Fog of War is a software that scans the area and the server to send visible information back to the client. This helps in taking down those wall shooting, x-ray vision cheaters. Since the release of this software, cheating in the title has gone down significantly. Here’s what Krafton had to say about Fog of War in a report by Eurogamer:

“The first of its kind in mobile gaming, Fog of War is an advanced anti-cheat system that limits the game information a player receives, reducing their ability to see players out of their field of view or through walls and objects.

Firstly, the Fog of War system scans all the buildings and terrain on PUBG Mobiles huge maps. Through internal calculations, the system then intelligently determines what the player is supposed to be able to see. Finally, only that specific information is sent from the server back to the player. Non-visible information will not be sent, putting a stop to x-ray vision cheaters”.

According to their latest Ban Pan report, from 16 September 2022 to 22 September 2022, PUBG Mobile was able to permanently suspend 405,610 accounts and 6,566 devices. During the 37th week of Ban Pan, which is their initiative to get rid of cheaters, PUBG Mobile was able to remove 2,091 online cheat ads with 28,229,588 followers and views. This effort has surely helped significantly reduce the cheaters that plague the title, and many players are appreciating their efforts.
