    As a few others have mentioned, there is basically nothing they can do to stop the radar apps from a technical standpoint. Something will need to change in the way the Hunt system is designed if they want to mitigate the impact of these kinds of programs.
    If radar apps also "reads" player locations in frontlines pvp, then it is providing tactical information that normal play never intended to give on the map.

    Knowing where your opponents are massed or hidden is a huge strategic advantage.

    Feasible or not, this cannot stand. As it is already impacting the experience and fair play of users.
