BGMI Fog of War: Ever gotten the feeling that an enemy could see your exact position, even when you were perfectly hidden behind a rock? For fair BGMI players, it’s hell—being watched by someone who shouldn’t be able to spot you.
This is not luck or “good game sense.” It’s typically an ESP hack (Extra Sensory Perception)—a cheat that allows players to view enemies, loot, and vehicles behind walls with concealed game data. As ESP does not directly modify game files, conventional anti-cheat systems can’t detect it, which makes it one of the most frustrating and risky cheats in BGMI.
Introducing Anti-ESP (BGMI Fog of War)
Krafton, the company that makes BGMI, took a bold and revolutionary step when they saw how big of a threat ESP was to the game. They didn’t just target cheaters; they found a way to cut off the information that ESP cheats require.
This is the result of the “Fog of War” system introduced to the game on 25 March 2024.
What Is “BGMI Fog of War”?
Think of “Fog of War” like this:
In real life, you can’t see enemies hiding behind walls, hills, or in buildings. Your knowledge is limited to your line of sight.
This idea is applied to BGMI in “Fog of War” by only sending enemy information to your device if it is made for you to see it based on what your character can physically see in the game.
How Fog of War Works—In Simple Terms
Let’s break it down clearly:
Server Is the Game Director
- The game server controls the flow of information.
- It knows where every player is at all times.
Selective Information Delivery
- Previously, the server would send all player location data to every device—even if they weren’t visible. ESP software took advantage of this.
- Now, thanks to Fog of War, the server only sends player location data if you should see them.
Line of Sight System
Here’s how visibility is calculated:
- If a player is behind a building, hidden in smoke, on the other side of a stone, or too far away, their data isn’t sent to your game.
- Since ESP relies on that data, it’s totally useless.
Why ESP Cheats Fail Now
- If the cheat tool doesn’t receive location data from the server, it can’t show you anything.
- Cheats can’t generate something that was never sent.
- This makes Fog of War incredibly effective in defeating ESP

How Krafton Keeps Features Like Replays
There was a big challenge: How do you still allow full replays, death cams, and spectating—where all data should be visible?
This was brilliantly solved by Krafton. The server only transmits a limited amount of data during real-time gameplay, but it stores the entire match data separately for replay systems. It’s clever, effective, and safe.
Impact on Gameplay and the BGMI Community
For Fair Players
The launch of Fog of War has been a game-changer for those who play honestly.
What’s Better Now?
- True Skill Matters: With ESP gone, your game sense, rotations, and reflexes matter more than ever.
- Attacks & undetectable Return: Surprise attacks are effective again. Smoke grenades and cover have real purpose.
- Peace of Mind: The gameplay feels cleaner, less frustrating, and more strategic.
Community Response
Since the launch of Fog of War, many players on forums, YouTube, and Reddit have reported:
- Fewer unfair pre-fires.
- Reduced frustration in TDM and ranked matches.
- Renewed interest in pushing rank and practicing strategies.
For Cheaters
BGMI Fog of War is like switching off the cheater’s “superpower.”
- No more x-ray vision.
- No more free tracking of players.
The Ban Pan Is Still Active
Even if ESP fails, Krafton continues to enforce bans for other hacks, including
- Aimbots
- Speed hacks
- Recoil scripts
The “Ban Pan” initiative regularly publishes ban reports showing hundreds of thousands of cheaters banned. These include:
- Permanent bans
- Account suspensions
- Device bans for repeat offenders

The Ever-Evolving Battle: Krafton’s Anti-Cheat Journey Continues
Krafton knows this is a never-ending battle. As new cheats evolve, their defence systems must too.
Cat and Mouse Game
Cheat developers are constantly:
- Testing new methods
- Looking for server loopholes
- Building “undetectable” ESPs
But Krafton adapts quickly, using AI-powered systems to outsmart them.
AI and Behavior Tracking
Krafton’s AI doesn’t just check code. It watches how people play:
- Do they land too many headshots?
- Do they always know enemy locations?
- Are their movements suspiciously precise?
- Do you have a higher KD?
The system detects suspicious behavior patterns, flags them, and bans them, usually before human reports come in.
Conclusion: A Fairer BGMI for Everyone
ESP cheats once ruled BGMI lobbies, turning fun into frustration. But with “ BGMI Fog of War,” Krafton has made a powerful statement: cheating will not win.
From clever data concealment to AI-powered detection, BGMI is now one of the most advanced mobile games in terms of anti-cheat systems.
To every honest player out there—your game is finally your own again.
To cheaters? The fog has rolled in… and it’s game over.
