How to Report a Hacker in Free Fire

To report a hacker in Free Fire, use the in-game report button on the match-results screen or the player’s profile, and for serious cases submit a Hacker Report with a video clip through Garena’s official support site. Cheaters ruin matches, but Free Fire gives you real tools to flag them — and the more specific your report, the more likely the anti-cheat team is to act. Here is the full process.

Report from inside the game (the quick way)

The fastest option is built into the game. After a match, the results screen lets you select players from that game and report them; you simply choose a reason such as cheating, and submit. You can also open a suspected cheater’s profile — for example if you spectated them after dying — and use the report option there. Pick the reason that fits the behaviour, whether that is cheating/hacking or abusive conduct. This takes seconds and feeds directly into Garena’s moderation system.

What actually counts as hacking

Report genuine cheating, not just skilled opponents. The behaviours worth flagging include:

• Aimbot / auto-aim — the enemy’s aim snaps to heads impossibly fast and never misses.
• Wallhacks / shooting through walls — they hit you through solid cover or always know your position.
• Speed or fly hacks — movement far faster than normal, or floating/flying across the map.
• Damage or health hacks — they take no damage or deal impossible amounts.

A player who simply out-aims you with clean drag headshots is not a hacker — they have practised, exactly like the techniques in our headshot guide. Report cheating, not skill.

Use the official support site for serious cases

For blatant or repeated cheating, the strongest move is a formal Hacker Report through Garena’s official Free Fire support site. The flow is straightforward: open the support site, choose to submit a request, select your region, pick the Hacker Report request type, and fill in the details. Crucially, attach a video. This route lets you provide far more context than the in-game button and is the right channel when you have solid evidence.

Why video proof matters

Garena’s anti-cheat team prioritises reports backed by video. A screenshot cannot show auto-aim locking on, a player flying, or someone shooting through a wall — but a short screen recording can. Use your phone’s built-in screen recorder (or the in-game recorder if available) to capture the suspicious behaviour, and keep the clip short and clear. Always include the cheater’s in-game name and UID so the team can identify the exact account. A specific, evidenced report is worth far more than a dozen vague ones.

What to expect after you report

Be realistic about the outcome. Garena generally does not send you a personal case update for every report, and action is not instant — verified reports feed an anti-cheat system that reviews and bans in waves. That can feel unsatisfying, but consistent, honest reporting from the community genuinely helps clean up lobbies over time. Report the cheater, then move on to your next match rather than waiting for a reply.

Protect yourself while you gather evidence

Running into a blatant hacker is frustrating, but do not throw the match away trying to prove a point. If someone is clearly cheating and you cannot win the fight, the smart move is often to break line of sight, record what you can safely, and keep playing your own game rather than repeatedly feeding them kills. Your video does not need to be long — a few clear seconds of the impossible behaviour, with the player’s name visible, is more useful than a five-minute clip. Save the recording to your gallery straight away so you still have it after the match ends, then attach it when you file the report.

It also helps to report the same way every time so it becomes a quick habit rather than a chore: spot the behaviour, note the name and UID, finish or leave the game, then report from the results screen or the support site. Consistent, low-effort reporting from lots of honest players is exactly what makes the anti-cheat system effective.

Do not fall for “reporting” or “revenge” scams

Just as with fake diamond generators, you will find sites and sellers claiming they can “instantly ban” a player for you, or offering paid revenge-report services. These are scams — at best they take your money for nothing, at worst they phish your login. The only tools that work are the official in-game report and the official support site, both free. The same caution applies to any offer of free rewards; see our note on emotes and scam sites for how those traps work.

Report responsibly

Finally, use the system in good faith. Do not mass-report someone just because you lost a fight — false reports waste moderator time and do nothing for you. Reserve reports for real cheating, back them with evidence where you can, and you will be doing your part to keep ranked lobbies fair.
