As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must say that Valve’s latest foray into the hero shooter genre, Deadlock, has managed to impress me yet again. The game’s unique approach to combating cheaters, by transforming them into harmless, jumpy frogs, is nothing short of ingenious.
Despite not yet being officially released, Valve’s upcoming hero shooter, Deadlock, is already grappling with a growing issue of cheating. The game, which is currently undergoing a closed beta phase, can only be played by those who have received an invite from another player. However, the game’s surging popularity has unfortunately attracted cheaters as well. As seen in many online shooters, increased player numbers often lead to more instances of cheating.
Of course, Valve is dealing with the surge of aim-bots and cheating in a way that a fair-minded developer typically does: by transforming the offending players into frogs (figuratively speaking).
This is what cheaters will look like if you turn them into a frog using the new anti-cheat

In Yoshi’s recent forum post detailing an update, it was revealed that if a player is caught cheating during gameplay, the other competitors will be presented with two options: either to ban the offender instantly and conclude the match or to transform them into a frog for the remainder of the game before ultimately banning them. This current system operates at a cautious level of detection while they work on an advanced anti-cheat system version 2. The new user-banning feature will go live a few days after the update is released, and matches that end in this manner won’t affect other players’ scores.
In simpler terms, these frogs, under discussion, are essentially powerless. They can’t harm anyone or utilize the skills they had before being turned into frogs. Honest players can effortlessly eliminate a frog, or opt to allow it to hop around the arena for the remainder of the game instead.
In late August, the official announcement for Deadlock was made public, with Valve sharing an announcement trailer and releasing information that had been kept confidential by streamers and playtesters through Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). The game’s launch date has not yet been revealed; however, it’s worth noting that no fairytale princesses will be found planting kisses on the frogs in Deadlock, given their well-known history of deceit.
