Battlefield 6 Cronus Users Banned With In-Game Message; Cheat Maker Asks Cheaters to Not Publicly Discuss Bans

Last month, Battlefield 6 developers mentioned how the shooter has its own macro detection for Cronus users on consoles. As it turns out, they weren’t joking.

Over the past few days, multiple Cronus Zen users (cheaters) have seen their account banned, with an in-game message alerting them that they’ve been caught red-handed.

My God! We've heard rumors of its existence, created legends around it, but never in my dreams did I ever expect to see a Bipod Knife in Battlefield 6.

It’s gotten so bad that even the cheat maker has now issued a statement about it.

Battlefield 6 Cronus Cheaters Banned, and We’re Loving It

Cronus users have been posting that they’ve seen this message appear for them after not being able to log in to Battlefield 6:

It’s delicious to see that cheaters are getting banned instead of being given a slap on the wrist.

It’s gotten so out of hand, that a Cronus developer has advised people to “pause” usage of the device. Not only that, but they are even asking Cronus cheaters not to publicly share or discuss any bans, since they said this draws unnecessary attention.

I honestly don’t know what to say, except maybe it’s pathetic? Here’s the message shared on the Cronus Discord (via VirulentStrand):

I am hoping this “reliable solution” is never found or that EA’s anti-cheat can combat this. It’s one thing to deal with in-game balance issues, bugs and whatnot, and it’s another to fight against cheaters.

In other Battlefield 6 news, we recently ran an article detailing what we know about the Battle Royale mode, which you’ll want to read if you have any interest in it.

As for issues in the game, there are multiple sections of the known issues that we’ve listed. Expect an update soon to deal with those, even if it doesn’t house any balance changes
