Recent ban wave

Hi guys,

As some of you unfortunately already know, last week there was a ban wave with around 8k players banned.
Comment here which cheat provider you use and what your playstyle is like.

I got banned while using Kernaim in an exaggerated way. The account had about 500 hours of gameplay, level 44, KDA above 19, and 70% sr.

I probably overdid it with the aimbot and my headshot rate was too high. It was my first ban since I started using cheats 4 months ago. I wasn’t HWID banned, since I can still play on new accounts.

Ban wave = provider(s) detected. Tarkov doesn't really have serverside or stat bans like that. I played for a year straight raging my ass off with every feature on ARENA and main game.

I think maybe I was banned due to reports, via manual conference. I didn't receive the HWID ban.

This was without a doubt a manual wave, as I saw 3 bans on DMA and 1 on external, they came in at the same time.
