Battlestate Games, the creator of the game Escape From Tarkov has made a significant move to tackle cheaters by implementing a system that rewards players for reporting them. According to the update notes players will be given, in game currency as a thank you for submitting reports that result in cheaters being banned.
Once a player reports a cheater successfully they will receive a message confirming that the offender has been dealt with. In addition they will see an amount of in game money added to their account as a gesture of gratitude for their contribution to upholding play. While the specific reward amount remains undisclosed this new approach is anticipated to motivate players to actively join the fight, against cheating.
Community Reaction and Delayed Implementation
The concept of players, for reporting cheaters isn’t new in the Escape From Tarkov community. Fans had actually suggested introducing such a system across platforms like Reddit than a year ago. However there was skepticism surrounding this idea with some community members doubting Battlestate Games ability to effectively implement and manage the system.
Despite the delayed rollout the introduction of the cheater reporting reward system is seen as a step by Battlestate Games. The success of this endeavor hinges on how the studio handles reports and maintains transparency with the community. As players start using this feature it remains to be seen whether it will have an impact, on reducing cheating incidents in Escape From Tarkov.
