Weekend open-beta test for Battlefield 6 reveals a surge in cheaters, yet the prominent VTuber, known as the "most devoted catgirl," asserts her innocence following her handheld camera gameplay.
Rioter_cs' Twitch Ban Lifted Amidst Battlefield 6 Cheating Allegations
Rioter_cs, a popular Twitch streamer known for her exceptional gameplay in Battlefield 6, found herself at the centre of a cheating controversy during the game's beta. A viral clip showcased a moment where Rioter_cs made an instant precise aim on hidden enemies, leading to widespread accusations of cheating, specifically aimbot use[1][3].
Despite Rioter_cs' claims of innocence and her efforts to prove this by streaming handcam footage, Twitch issued a temporary ban, citing a violation of their Community Guidelines or Terms of Service[1][3]. The suspension, common for first-time offenses, was reportedly a one-day ban, and Rioter_cs herself confirmed she expected to be unbanned shortly after[1][2][3].
The controversy divided the gaming community, with some arguing her skill was genuine, while others insisted her gameplay was "too clean" and unnatural[3]. Rioter_cs' supporters claimed she is an exceptionally skilled player and not a cheater[1]. Another supporter who played shooters with her before stated that her skills were genuine[1].
Rioter_cs defended herself by suggesting viewers examine her minimap at the specific moment and by streaming the game using a handcam to prove she was not cheating[1]. However, some viewers continued to accuse her of using aimbot, pointing to a specific moment where she quickly aimed at an enemy behind cover[1].
While Rioter_cs awaits the next round of the Battlefield 6 open beta, which is set to start on Thursday, 14 August, she plans to return to playing Old School RuneScape during this time[1].
EA's anti-cheat team prevented 330,000 attempts to cheat or tamper with anti-cheat controls during the Battlefield 6 beta[1]. It was previously reported by numerous players that cheaters were causing chaos in Battlefield 6 during the last beta weekend[1]. The Battlefield 6 beta has pulled in a 500K peak Steam player count[1].
It is hoped that EA will be able to hone its anti-cheat system further to ensure fairness in the rest of the beta and the full game[1]. The Battlefield 6 beta's first open weekend has ended, and a second one is expected[1].
Rioter_cs, who resembles a catgirl, gained popularity during the first Battlefield 6 beta weekend for her exceptional gameplay[1]. The attention generated by her temporary suspension has not gone unnoticed by prominent gaming commentators, who have emphasized the value of the controversy without taking a definitive stance on Rioter_cs’s guilt[2].
