Integrity remains a challenge in the unforgiving world of Escape from Tarkov, as Battlestate Games continues its relentless crackdown on those who refuse to play by the rules.
The development team is maintaining its aggressive stance against illicit software users, recently disclosing the results of their latest enforcement wave. This ongoing effort aims to preserve the competitive balance of the hardcore extraction shooter.
Battlestate Games confirmed that since October 18, 2025, over 11,000 cheaters have been permanently banned from the game. In keeping with their tradition of transparency, the developers have released a public “wall of shame” featuring the handles of all accounts caught in the purge.
In addition to the ban report, a new thematic promotional code has been introduced, allowing the community to claim a “Sledgehammer” for their in-game stash.
You can redeem this reward through the official Escape from Tarkov website or directly via the game launcher:
