Sudden Attack is doubling down on its crusade against cheaters, launching a formal investigation to scrub the game of illicit software users.

Nexon confirmed on the 25th that it has officially requested a police investigation into those deploying hacks. It is not their first rodeo; the team has already rolled out Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), beefed up security verification, and implemented a segregated matchmaking pool. By going public with this investigation, they are sending a clear signal: they are committed to combining technical barricades with the long arm of the law to keep the game fair.

This move specifically targets users who have disrupted the service and hindered standard operations. These individuals are currently under investigation for obstruction of business and violations of the Information and Communications Network Act. Sudden Attack is cooperating fully with the authorities and plans to weigh further actions based on the outcomes. It serves as a stern reminder that the crosshairs are now firmly on the end-users, not just the creators and distributors of these cheats.

The game has been busy tightening its security protocols to shield legitimate players. They have upgraded the juror verification process for the 'Guillotine System'—where players help identify suspicious activity—and expanded the two-factor authentication requirement from top-tier ranks down to the 'Gold' bracket.

Furthermore, the 'matchmaking pool separation policy,' previously exclusive to rank matches, has been extended to survival mode, effectively keeping potential cheaters away from the general population. They are also cracking down on serial offenders; accounts linked to banned users who attempt to circumvent sanctions by re-registering will now find their previous penalties following them to their new accounts.

A Nexon representative stated, "Protecting the experience for our honest players remains our absolute priority. We will continue to pair robust security measures with legal action to ensure a level playing field for everyone."
