Latest H1Z1 ban wave strikes down nearly 25,000 cheaters

4.7
H1Z1 had quite a lot of cheaters, judging by the number of players who got banned this week.

Daybreak president John Smedley and his staff are on a campaign to end cheating in H1Z1, as well as the sites that provide said cheats. Smedley announced yesterday that the developer has banned 24,837 accounts from the game.

Smedley named one site that’s known to the H1Z1 community as a cheat provider.



A quick look on the game’s sub-Reddit reveals that cheaters have been running rampant in the game for a while. One cheat that’s often called out is “ESP,” essentially a wallhack, letting players know where others are at all times.

Sensational news, its about time the game was becoming tiresome with all the hackers.

Now it may well be worth while playing again.

Honestly, that's a rather huge number. Kinda surprised with the amount of players that got away with it for this long since their last ban wave, whenever that was. Anyways great job to the developers for cracking down on the cheaters.

The H1Z1 team is one of the BEST early access devs I have ever seen. Cheers to them for cleaning up their game.
