Deadlock game update turns hackers into frogs as new anti-cheat measure

dexerto.com

A new update for the game Deadlock introduces an anti-cheat system that punishes hackers by turning them into frogs during matches. This change aims to address the previous lack of effective anti-cheat measures. Players can now choose to either ban a detected hacker, ending the game, or transform them into a frog, rendering them unable to attack or use abilities. The frog can only jump around, making them vulnerable to opponents. This update, part of Valve's new anti-cheat system, ensures that punishing a hacker will not count as a loss for the team. The changes are set to go live shortly after the September 26 update.
