Battlefield 1 hasn’t even released but it already has hackers

17 October 2016

Despite only officially releasing on 21 October, Battlefield 1 already has a number of hackers.

The game is currently available to EA and Origin Access members and has a number of issues with aimbotters which also plagued the open Beta in September.

In a report by PC Gamer, Evan Lahti noted that he was being killed from impossible angles and through walls.

It happened to me on the Amiens map in Rush mode, the shorter, attack-and-defend format. Moments into the match, I got killed around a corner that seemed impossible.

I was glad to shrug it off—it was my first time on the map, I had my back to the guy, hell, maybe it was a lag spike I hadn’t noticed.

By the third or fourth time I had my face blown off through an impenetrable wall, I’d decided that my new objective was to test how effective this person’s cheats were.

Lahti noted that there was currently nowhere to report cheaters despite numerous sites already offering cheat tools for the game.
