GCSRogue Company Anti-Cheat
Easy Anti-Cheat listed on Steam, no published ban policy or ban numbers, and patch notes that stop in February 2024 - the anti-cheat does the work here.
In plain EnglishThis page explains the anti-cheat that protects Rogue Company - the system that tries to catch and ban cheaters. It covers how strict that system is and how cheats try to stay hidden from it. No cheat is ever 100% safe, so always check a product's status before you buy. Rogue Company uses Easy Anti-Cheat, and its maker has not said whether it runs at kernel level. Caught cheaters get an account ban, and our database rates its detection strength low. The guide below covers how it detects, what a ban really costs and what kind of build survives.What anti-cheat does Rogue Company use?
Rogue Company is a free-to-play third-person tactical action shooter from First Watch Games, published by Hi-Rez Studios. It has 4v4 and 6v6 modes and a Ranked queue. Its Steam page lists Easy Anti-Cheat, but only on its DRM line, and carries no kernel-level anti-cheat notice.
Little else about its anti-cheat is official. In August 2023 Evil Mojo, the team behind Paladins and Realm Royale, introduced itself on the game’s Steam page and said it was still supporting and updating Rogue Company. The newest patch notes there are from February 2024. Easy Anti-Cheat’s makers say it detects cheats using heuristics, gameplay analysis and player reports. Hi-Rez has not said whether its setup in Rogue Company runs at kernel level, and the Steam page does not say either. The studio’s own notes add little. In October 2023 a patch listed an update to the anti-cheat engine, and in November 2023 another removed a source of player cheats and exploits. Neither said what changed. Those two lines are the only anti-cheat news in all of the game’s Steam announcements. Hi-Rez has published no ban policy for Rogue Company, and nothing official says its bans reach hardware. Bans are contested through Easy Anti-Cheat’s appeal form, which needs the Reference ID from your ban. It asks you to try the game’s own support first, and says an accepted appeal reverts the ban automatically. Linked platforms raise the stakes. You can link accounts at link.roguecompany.com and play with the same progress anywhere. Hi-Rez has not said whether a ban follows that progress to your other platforms, so plan as if it does. We rate Rogue Company "Low" on client detection. Easy Anti-Cheat is a real system, but the studio publishes no ban numbers and has said almost nothing about cheating since late 2023. Reports carry weight. Since March 2022 the game tells you when action is taken against a player you reported, so the people you beat find out whether their report worked. In Rogue Company’s team modes, knowing where the other team is set up is worth more than raw aim. Since May 2022 keyboard-and-mouse players and controller players share matchmaking queues, so aim that never misses stands out next to controller players. Keep it quiet in the Ranked queue, where players care most about the result, and use an account whose linked progress you can afford to lose. The Rogue Company builds we keep current are below. One Rogue Company build is on sale right now, listed by how each one runs according to its own description. Official pages for the systems this guide describes. They are the primary sources for how Easy Anti-Cheat works and how bans are issued; the detection ratings and build guidance are our own editorial assessment, explained in the editorial policy.How Easy Anti-Cheat works in Rogue Company
