Hackers ruin the battlefield experience in almost every shooter game, and Garena Free Fire is no different. With the fame that Free Fire has gained in recent years, the number of players alongside the game's active userbase has been clocking higher with each successive quarter.
Thus, soaring numbers have also witnessed a massive jump in the number of hacks and hackers. Cheaters are prevalent in different aspects of Free Fire and its MAX variant. Thus, Garena has established its anti-hack systems to deal with hackers.
Garena Free Fire: Reporting cheaters or submitting hacker APKs
Garena has toughened up its anti-hack system to ban/block cheaters in the game. However, there are still plenty of hackers in the game that go unnoticed and thus, continue to ruin the experience of other gamers.
Therefore, to increase their efficiency in catching cheaters, Garena allows FF gamers to report hack-related issues to the game's support center. Players must know about the most common hacks before reporting cheaters.
Common types of hacks in the game
- Diamond Hack - Top-up/availability of the abnormal amount of diamonds without any transaction.
- Head shot only - Each hit will be a headshot.
- Location tracker/Map hack - This allows cheaters to track the movement/location of players.
- One Hit-Kill - Grants kills with one hit.
- Translucent Bullets - Substantial decrease in the visibility of bullets.
- Ultra-Fast Movement/Speed Hack - Drastic increase in movement speed, in some cases to the godly levels.
- Vehicle Hack - allows gamers to pass through walls while sitting in vehicles and perform other abnormal tricks.
- Wall Hack - Grants an ability to sit inside walls and rocks while also not receiving any hindrance in the vision. Players can also shoot while sitting inside a wall/rock.
