New updates for "For Honor" will feature two possible DLC heroes and Ubisoft banning players for AFK farming within the game.
Several rumors are making rounds regarding two leaked DLC characters joining "For Honor's" roster courtesy of Reddit username Bones404. According to the leaked photos, these two DLC heroes are the Ninja and the Centurion, as the character models a very much exactly like the other heroes within "For Honor's" build.
Just like the other heroes in "For Honor," both warriors have their own distinct weapons matching their combat styles as the Ninja is equipped with a pair of Kamas, while the Centurion's weapon is not featured in the photo. The Centurion class will be part of the Knight faction, while the Ninja will part of the Samurai group.
Ubisoft stated before that they will launch six heroes in "For Honor" as part of their post-launch plans, and they will be included in pairs. Perhaps the Ninja and the Centurion are the first two heroes to come in "For Honor" as players are curious about who are the four remaining heroes left, Gamerant reported.
In other news, Ubisoft announced their plans against players who practicing AFK farming within "For Honor's" gameplay.
AFK farming is tactic used by players fooling the game into thinking they are actively engaged in combat in order to gain points without even playing "For Honor" at all. There have been several ways to do so, which include tying a rubber band around the analogue sticks on a controller, or using third-party apps.
Ubisoft stated that they will have improved in-game detection systems to warn and even ban players in "For Honor" during gameplay. The game developers announced that the firs wave of offenders are at 1,500 are given a three-day ban.
In addition, 4,000 players were detected for AFK farming, giving them a warning and possibly be banned if they continue further. Gamers will receive an email from Ubisoft for the violation and how long will they be banned from "For Honor."
It is likely Ubisoft's way of detecting and punishing cheaters in "For Honor" after the developers received tons of hate mail from players.
"For Honor" is currently available on the PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
