Battlefield 6 explains how its Javelin anticheat system works—and it kind of boils down to ‘just trust me bro’

Battlefield Studios' anti-cheat system, EA Javelin, has thwarted over 580,000 cheating attempts in Battlefield 6. Players have expressed skepticism about the accuracy of the developers' claims regarding the percentage of cheaters caught. The Match Infection Rate (MIR) is a metric that includes confirmed cheaters and those suspected based on detection signals, which recently increased from 2.28% to 3.09% in January. The rise in MIR is attributed to improvements in the anti-cheat system's ability to detect stealth cheats and the implementation of a new ban acceleration method on January 26.

Should you destroy or release Elpis in Resident Evil Requiem?

In Resident Evil Requiem, players face a choice to either destroy or release Elpis, which significantly affects the narrative and character fates. Destroying Elpis leads to a non-canonical ending where Leon dies after saving Grace, while releasing Elpis results in the canonical ending with an additional boss battle and a post-credits scene. In the latter scenario, Zeno transforms into an antiviral agent after injecting himself with Elpis, and Grace cures Leon, leading to a confrontation with Zeno and a hopeful resolution for Emily and Sherry. Players can revisit missed collectibles and are prompted to reconsider their choice after making a decision.
