EA says Battlefield 6’s Javelin anti-cheat blocked 330,000+ attempts during the Open Beta. SPEAR is reviewing reports and issuing bans to protect fair play ahead of launch.
EA has confirmed that Battlefield 6’s Javelin anti-cheat has already blocked more than 330,000 attempts to cheat since Open Beta Early Access began. Community reports are also pouring in, with tens of thousands flagged within the first two days as teams work to remove confirmed offenders.
According to the SPEAR team that manages the Javelin system, the anti-cheat has prevented 330,000 attempts to cheat or tamper with protections during the beta period. Players reported 44,000 potential cheaters on day one and another 60,000 the following day. EA says the Gameplay Integrity team is using these reports to improve detections for Battlefield 6 and is coordinating with the Battlefield Positive Play team to remove users confirmed to be cheating.
Javelin is EA’s in-house anti-cheat engine for Battlefield 6, operated by the SPEAR team. It monitors for unauthorized tools and suspicious behavior, blocks clear violations, and flags edge cases for review. Javelin blends automated detections with player reports and is updated continuously during the beta to adapt to new tactics.

Clips circulating on social media have highlighted blatant cheating attempts during the beta. EA’s update stresses that enforcement is active, reports are being processed at scale, and ban actions are ongoing. The company frames the beta as a testing ground for both gameplay and security, with data from these incidents feeding improvements ahead of release.

Early, visible action protects first impressions and keeps matchmaking data clean for tuning. Capturing exploit signatures now strengthens launch-day defenses and signals to cheat sellers that Battlefield 6 security is active and evolving, which helps maintain player confidence.
Early numbers suggest Battlefield 6’s security effort is aggressive and data-driven. Blocking 330,000 attempts and reviewing large volumes of reports within days indicates that Javelin and SPEAR are central to protecting match integrity. If EA sustains this pace and continues to iterate on detections, Battlefield 6 should head toward launch with stronger safeguards for fair multiplayer play.
