Does 2XKO have anti-cheat?
As a seasoned gamer who’s seen my fair share of online gaming battles, I can’t help but appreciate Riot Games’ proactive approach to combating cheaters in their new game, 2XKO. Having played games like VALORANT where I’ve encountered more than a handful of unsavory characters using third-party software, the mere thought of stepping into a competitive online game without worrying about cheaters is a breath of fresh air.
Cheaters are unfortunately part of every competitive online game.
In any competitive online gaming scenario, anti-cheat measures are essential. Consequently, players of the upcoming 2XKO game from Riot Games are curious about how they plan to prevent cheating in their new fighting title.
As countless gamers from various regions participate in 2XKO’s Alpha Lab test, it’s likely that some individuals will attempt to exploit unauthorized third-party software to secure an advantage in the upcoming game, potentially compromising the gaming experience for others.
It’s good news for us that Riot Games is staying one step ahead when it comes to dealing with cheaters, and they plan to do the same in 2XKO as they do in VALORANT. Check out what measures the company is developing for 2XKO’s anti-cheating system here.
2XKO’s anti-cheating system
2XKO relies on Vanguard, a proprietary anti-cheat system developed by Riot Games, as well as their own anti-cheat software, based on the official video.
2XKO developers aim to establish a “top-tier fairness standard” in their matches right from the start, meaning that even the Alpha Lab playtests will be safeguarded by Vanguard’s protective measures.

How does Vanguard work?
In the absence of specifics from Riot on how they plan to use Vanguard in 2XKO, it seems plausible that its functionality could mirror its operation within VALORANT.
As a dedicated gamer immersed in VALORANT, you might have noticed the Riot Vanguard client humming away while I’m in-game. This includes a kernel mode driver running behind the scenes. Rest assured, our priority is your safety and privacy. Riot Vanguard was designed with Riot Games’ unwavering focus on data privacy in mind. We collaborated closely with our legal and compliance teams to ensure it aligns with regional data privacy laws. For a comprehensive understanding of what data we collect and use, you can check out the details here.
Throughout the years, Riot has continuously improved Vanguard to identify common cheats, leading to a steady number of bans by 2023. In this battle against cheating, VALORANT emerged victorious, contrasting the ongoing struggle of competitors like CS2 against cheaters.
