Delta Force will reclaim all Tekniq Alloys obtained through the real-money trading transactions targeted in its October 12, 2026 announcement. For players involved in those exchanges, the announced consequence concerns the gains themselves. Permanent account bans are also possible after investigation, but they are not presented as automatic for every transaction.
Supply transfers through matchmaking manipulation
In its G.T.I. Security announcement, the G.T.I. Security team reports discovering matchmaking manipulation that allowed supplies to be transferred between matches. According to the team, the RMT transactions it identified relied primarily on queue sniping. The announcement does not give a precise number of players involved, and the team's account of the transfers has not been independently verified.
Queue sniping is the main mechanism the team names, rather than an exhaustive description of every exchange under investigation. The recovery applies to Tekniq Alloys obtained through the targeted transactions: it is not a general reset of players' holdings. The scope of the resource penalty therefore depends on the gains linked to those exchanges.
For an affected player, losing the proceeds of an exchange and losing access to an account have different consequences. Reclaiming the Alloys removes the benefit obtained through the targeted transactions. A permanent ban affects access to the account itself. The announced resource recovery does not, on its own, establish which additional account sanction an individual player will receive.
Permanent bans remain possible after investigation
G.T.I. Security also reaffirms its zero-tolerance policy toward rule violations, specifically mentioning illegal software and the malicious exploitation of vulnerabilities or bugs. This places the RMT announcement within the team's broader enforcement policy. Those examples describe the violations covered by that policy; they do not establish that every player involved in the reported transfers used illegal software.
Permanent account bans are among the sanctions the team says can follow an investigation. It does not specify an individual sanction scale for the RMT transactions described. The zero-tolerance wording expresses the team's approach to violations, but does not establish an identical punishment for each account or make a permanent ban automatic for every transaction.
Players involved in the targeted exchanges face the announced recovery of those gains, with account sanctions also possible after investigation. The recovery timetable remains unspecified, so the announcement should not be read as confirmation that the removal has already been completed.
