How to report or block players

The game's moderation is player-driven by design — the developers said so directly in their September 10 explanation: block, mute, and report are your tools, and there's no expectation of a moderator stepping into a live match. Here's the practical version.

The three tools

• Mute — instant, personal silence on a player's voice chat. Costs nothing, fixes most problems (which are, let's be honest, usually audio problems).
• Block — persistent: keeps you from being matched with them again where the system can avoid it. Your curated-lobby tool.
• Report — the escalation path that can lead to actual account penalties. Reserve it for real misconduct: harassment, cheating, slurs — not for a Michael who tunneled you.

Where to find them

Player-card menus are the home for all three — accessible from the lobby and the in-match player list. Exact button paths per platform aren't officially documented; the reliable route on every platform is: open the scoreboard/player list → select the player → the mute/block/report options are on their card. Reported

Platform-level tools stack on top: PSN and Xbox both offer OS-level block/report against the same player, and OS-level voice reporting captures clips on some platforms — worth using in serious cases.

Using them well

1. 01

   Mute early. An open hot mic in minute one doesn't improve by minute ten.

2. 02

   Block quietly. No announcement needed; arguing in voice chat before blocking is paying a toll to leave a free road.

3. 03

   Report with specifics. If the platform offers a reason/category, pick accurately — miscategorized reports are reportedly the slowest to action. Unverified
