PATCH AT A GLANCE
Official source ↗Quick take
Competitive Integrity Update - Ballistic Exploit CrashOur Anti-Cheat team recently identified an exploit being used to disrupt matches by intentionally crashing game servers. While investigating a suspected player who appeared to be repeatedly causing lobbies to crash, we identified an exploit involving Ballistic’s Sling passive. The exploit used a modified game client to duplicate a weapon optic far beyond its intended limits. We take intentional match disruption seriously.
