PUBG MOBILE Unveils Fog Of War
PUBG MOBILE reveals brand new Fog of War anti-cheat technology, a world first for mobile gaming, countering players using x-ray vision cheats
PUBG MOBILE has officially unveiled the Fog of War anti-cheat system, the latest in security measures developed by PUBG MOBILE to effectively combat cheaters using x-ray vision, AKA wall hacks.
The first mobile game to implement this advanced anti-cheat technology, Fog of War has already been working to reduce cheating in battle royale matches, with over a 50% decrease during its testing phase. As the system gradually rolls out, PUBG MOBILE will continue to optimize it to put a stop to unwanted cheaters.
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 MOBILE’s 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.
Fog of War was previously rolled out in a limited capacity on certain maps in order to test and improve the system. During the limited launch, matches where the Fog of War anti-cheat system was deployed saw the number of reports of x-ray vision cheats decrease by over 50%, and a report rate decrease of up to 62% in key regions.
PUBG MOBILE is the first mobile game in the world to implement this kind of security measure on such large, open maps, and the system is only becoming more and more comprehensive. From this point onwards, the Fog of War anti-cheat system will be gradually rolled out across PUBG MOBILE's game modes, gathering data to improve the technology until everyone can enjoy a fair and balanced competition.
Cheating is completely unacceptable in PUBG MOBILE, and this is yet another step towards stopping players from using deceitful and unfair technology. Nothing is more important to PUBG MOBILE than ensuring players have a safe, fun and fair experience.
