A few days ago, "PUBG Mobile" shared that the team made a strong action against iOS jailbreak plug-in hacks and several other cheating methods that disrupt the game environment and the players' gaming experience. In its report, the team claimed that it is closely monitoring and taking measures to target cheaters as soon as they are detected. Moreover, the devs believe that hacks damage the fairness of the hit mobile shooter title.
The "PUBG Mobile" team also assured players that it would punish players who use the above-mentioned hacks with a 10-year ban. Developers would also be held accountable with the team planning to take legal action against them. The team also reported that it earlier addressed 'manipulative hacks that automatically eliminated opponents from the game as soon as they finish parachuting.
It appears that the hackers updated the hack, but the "PUBG Mobile" team reported that it blocked the hack again. The said hack reportedly disconnects players, thereby making them immobile after parachuting or as soon as they land.
"PUBG Mobile" is currently available on iOS and Android devices.
