PUBG: 9 Features It Needs To Compete With Fortnite

9. Better Anti-Cheat Software

When a game reaches peak popularity as PUBG has in less than 12 months, you can bet your bottom dollar that all of that attention will attract the sorts of bottom feeders that enjoy nothing more than sucking the fun out of it. Cheating will inevitably exist in an online environment - it's how well the people in charge crack down on such unsavoury activity that's important.

Credit where it's due, developers Bluehole has acknowledged the problem and is actively attempting to stamp out the prevalence of aim-bots, wall-hacks and speed-revives, but it has clearly been unprepared for the massive influx of cheaters since launch.

Fortnite, of course, has a similar problem on its hands, but with how Bluehole decided to handle cosmetic items (more on that to come), PUBG has the added headache of bots being used to farm Battle Points.

The issues have reached such a point that the developer has been forced to delay development to redouble its efforts on eradicating cheaters, not the sort of news one would expect to hear for a full-priced game with millions of active players.
