We are currently banning at a rate of 6K-13K per day, nearly 20K within the last 24 hours alone. The vast majority is from China.

As stated above, the majority of cheaters are based in China.
Back in September, BattlEye explained why there are so many players trying to exploit the game, using any method to win:
BE is constantly banning LOTS of cheaters in PUBG and H1Z1 (yes, other games too), but we hope people can understand that by nature (1/2)

Battle Royale games are a real “mess” to protect. Everyone wants to be the sole winner no matter what. We are always doing our best. (2/2)
