Battlefield 2042 report players to ban

Battlefield 2042 wants to wield the banhammer by encouraging player reports

The Battlefield 2042 beta opens with a call to arms for players; DICE is looking to foster a welcoming environment through its “Positive Play” initiative. By reporting toxic users and cheaters alike, players can invoke the banhammer and help to make BF2042 a better place to play. Perhaps in a bid to avoid Call of Duty’s ongoing cheating epidemic, the Battlefield 2042 report players option is quick and easy to utilize in-game.

Battlefield 2042: How to report players and ban cheaters

Battlefield 2042 report players to ban

Here’s how to report players and get cheaters banned in Battlefield 2042:

  1. During gameplay, press pause and select the “Squad and Players” option.
  2. Highlight the relevant player, then follow the on-screen “More” button/key prompt.
  3. Select “Report,” then one of the following options:
    • Abusive text chat
    • Abusive voice chat
    • Cheating/exploiting
    • Gameplay sabotage
    • Offensive player name
    • Harassment
  4. Optional: Type a comment detailing the reason for filing a report.
  5. Select “Send Report” to submit.

It should also be possible to open the “Social” menu and then select “Recent Players” to file a report post-match, but this doesn’t appear to work during the open beta. Regardless, immediately reporting someone during gameplay is more reliable than trying to remember players’ names sometime after the fact.

EA and DICE want people to feel “proud” that they belong to the Battlefield 2042 community. According to the Positive Play initiative, the team is making an “ongoing commitment” to ensure that the bad behavior of unruly players doesn’t ruin the experience for everyone. This is especially relevant right now, with leading rival Call of Duty drawing fire due to the overwhelming number of cheaters playing across multiple active titles. In addition to suffering widespread hacking problems, the CoD community isn’t exactly known for welcoming minority groups or new players.

In other news, Far Cry 6 is basically just more of the same. Marvel’s What If…? also wraps up in a similarly underwhelming fashion.
