Hackers continue to be a big problem in PUBG Mobile. Tencent has cracked down on them through its ban pan program, though. In a report yesterday, the company revealed that it “permanently suspended” 1,217,342 accounts from Jan. 8 to 14 for using hacks and cheats.
About 48 percent of these hackers were banned for using auto-aim hacks or changing their character models. Twenty-two percent of the hackers were banned for using X-ray vision, 12 percent for speed hacks, and seven percent for modifying the area damage.
