Chicken dinners in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can be elusive, and there's nothing more frustrating than coming so close to victory than being pipped to the post by a hacker. Like most competitive games out there, PUBG's servers are rife with cheaters, and it's hard to fall in love with a game when you're being shot from 800 metres away.
When games are that competitive, it's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to cheat, but PUBG Corp has dedicated a lot of time and research into finding and banning hackers since the game launched in 2018. The developer has set up an extensive anti-cheat system which can shut down hackers pretty quickly, and it has in the past even caught out professional players too.
So if you're here because you're wondering what hacks look like in PUBG, or you're contemplating trying them out for yourself, we've put together a guide on everything you need to know about hacking in PUBG, including what will happen if you get caught. TL;DR, it's not good news.
