PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS weekly ban report reveals permanent bans for illegal software and misconduct—protect your account with Steam Guard.

Hey everyone, it’s your PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Anti-Cheat Team dropping in with our latest weekly ban report. If you’ve been grinding ranked matches and something felt off—like a player beaming you through smoke from three compounds away—this one’s for you. We’re pulling back the curtain on last week’s enforcement wave, because let’s be real: cheaters never prosper, and we’re here to make sure that saying holds up on the Battlegrounds.

Investigation Period: 2026/05/18~2026/05/24

We’ve just completed another round of permanent bans for accounts caught using illegal software or engaging in misconduct. The full list of permanently banned accounts is available on our official notice board, and trust me, it’s a long one. If you’ve ever submitted an in-game report and wondered if anyone actually reads it, the answer is yes—we do, and those reports feed directly into our ban decisions.

Here’s the lowdown on what happens when a cheater gets caught:

  • 🚫 The ban is permanent. No second chances.

  • 🎭 The published list shows in-game nicknames, but we replace the first three letters with “*” to keep things fair and private.

  • 🛡️ Everyone on that list violated our Rules of Conduct through illegal software, aimbots, ESP, or other misconduct.

  • 📋 We don’t just ban the obvious rage hackers—we’re also hitting subtle cheaters who think they can fly under the radar.

Now, I get it—sometimes it feels like you report someone and they’re still in your next lobby. But behind the scenes, our anti-cheat systems and human review team are working around the clock. The weekly ban list isn’t just a wall of shame; it’s a heads-up to the community that we’re serious about fair play. If you run into something fishy, don’t just rage quit. Smash that in-game report button first. That’s the fastest way to get eyes on a suspect. If you need extra help after that, you can reach out to PUBG Support for follow-up assistance.

One more thing, and this is a big one: protect your own account like it’s your favorite loadout. We’ve seen too many players get banned because someone else got access to their account and used it for cheating. The best move? Set up Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator. It’s not just a nice-to-have—it’s your account’s bodyguard.

How to Set Up Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator

  • 🔐 Open your Steam app and head to the Steam Guard menu.

  • 📱 Select “Add Authenticator” and enter your phone number.

  • ✅ Verify with the code Steam sends you.

  • 🧾 Save your recovery code somewhere safe—this is your emergency key.

  • 🛡️ From then on, you’ll approve logins from your phone, making it way harder for bad actors to sneak in.

Seriously, this takes maybe five minutes, and it can save you from a massive headache later. If your account gets hijacked and used for illegal software, the ban isn’t always reversible just because you say “that wasn’t me.” A little setup goes a long way.

We also want to give a huge shoutout to everyone who keeps sending reports, clips, and feedback. Your eyes on the ground make our anti-cheat efforts stronger. We read the comments, we review the reports, and we use that intel to sharpen our detection methods. Fair gaming isn’t a one-team job—it’s all of us working together.

Here’s the TL;DR for anyone who skims:

What Why It Matters
Permanent bans We remove cheaters for good, no warnings for illegal software.
Masked nicknames First 3 characters are replaced with “*” on the public list.
In-game reports first Fastest route to alert our team about suspected cheating.
PUBG Support Use it when you need extra help beyond an in-game report.
Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator Keeps your valuable account safe from hijackers and abuse.

As we roll further into 2026, we’re not slowing down. The cheat developers keep changing their tricks, but our team is just as stubborn—stickier than a level 3 backpack full of meds. We’ll keep dropping these reports every week, and we’ll keep cleaning up the Battlegrounds so your chicken dinners taste better.

Thanks for sticking with us, and keep the reports coming. See you in the lobby—fair and square.
