Ubisoft told the For Honor community last week that it would take care of the AFK Farming exploit- one that tricks the game into thinking youโ€™re playing to earn rewardsโ€ฆwithout actually doing anything. Now the company is cracking down, or at least attempting to, and has issued a light 3-day ban to 1,500 players. Another 4,000 players will receive warnings and will be issued the ban if they donโ€™t stop using the exploit.

For Honor
The AFK Farming exploit is getting players banned from the battlefield

In a previously released statement, Ubisoft commented that a ban would be enforced if For Honor players continued to abuse the Code of Conduct. The company also explained that AFK Farming has a negative impact on the other players around the battlefield, and then detailed what the exploit actually looks like:

This week we wanted to give your more visibility about our policy against players who are โ€œAFK Farmingโ€ the For Honor Battlefields. For those unfamiliar with the practice, players are able to go AFK (away from keyboard) and keep their in-game character moving throughout a match (ex. tying a rubber band on the control stick), garnering end-game rewards and progression without actually playing. The โ€œfarmingโ€ aspect comes about when these players use this technique frequently to gain a large amount of these rewards.

Ubisoft wonโ€™t come down harshly on players immediately. According to their report, the first offense will trigger a warning. Only repeated violations could lead to a playerโ€™s account being suspended, โ€œapplicable on the gameโ€, temporarily or even permanently.

Actual disciplinary actions are dependent on the severity of players’ย behavior and will be decided by Ubisoft on a “case by case basis”. Ubisoft is viewing the AFK Farming exploit as a top priority so the experience ofย For Honorย is not negatively impacted for others.

For those who need a refresher, you can review Ubisoft’s full Code of Conduct here.
