Electron Anticheat

What is Electron Anticheat?

Electron Anticheat, also known as ElectronAC, is an anticheat built for FiveM only. You install a lightweight resource on your server and manage everything else from a cloud dashboard. That means no editing files on your server for day-to-day admin.

It’s made by Electron Services, which launched the first version in 2023. It works independently of your framework: ESX, QBCore, QBox, vRP, custom frameworks and hybrid setups are all supported. Support runs 24/7 on Discord, and the website is also available in Dutch.

Detection

According to Electron, the anticheat detects, among other things:

• aimbot and soft aim
• ESP and wallhacks
• speed modification and teleport
• godmode, noclip, super jump and invisibility
• weapon injection and vehicle modifiers
• cheat menus
• explosion exploits
• VPN use
• attempts to crash the server

Detections are updated often and can be applied automatically from the dashboard, so you don’t have to chase every patch yourself. One example: version 2.0 added a detection for the Susano menu, where opening it leads straight to a ban.

Evidence and moderation

This is where Electron Anticheat stands out most. A detection is only worth something if your staff can back up the ban.

• Session replay: a visual reconstruction of a player’s full session. You see what happened before a ban instead of guessing from chat logs.
• Live monitoring: up to 16 player screens at once, including voice audio, in real time.
• Reputation lookup: a player’s history across all servers running Electron Anticheat, before they cause damage on yours.
• Live map: an interactive map with player locations and activity. Useful for spotting teleports and groups of cheaters.
• Bans, kicks and warnings, with the moderation history in one place.

Web panel, in-game panel and app

Everything comes together in the cloud dashboard: managing bans and players, looking up reputation, live monitoring, using the map, watching replays and tuning settings. Before you buy, you can try a live demo of the panel and the in-game menu.

You open the in-game panel with /eac or a custom keybind. It lets you clear vehicles, objects and peds, toggle ESP and godmode for staff, and kick, ban or spectate players. You can also copy identifiers, change your ped, spawn vehicles and put yourself in a private routing bucket for testing or support cases.

There’s also a web app for your phone: the full dashboard on your home screen, with optional notifications. On Android you set it up through your profile settings, on iOS via "Add to Home Screen" in Safari.

Ready for GTA V Enhanced

Electron Anticheat supports FiveM on both GTA V Legacy and GTA V Enhanced. Electron calls itself the first anticheat with full Enhanced support. We couldn’t verify that independently, but the difference with some competitors is clear: FiveGuard, for example, is still waiting on a FiveM fix before it can support Enhanced.

Switching over? Keep the resource up to date through the panel. The documentation has a separate guide for upgrading your game build.

Installation

1. After purchase, download the resource from the Electron dashboard.
2. Put it in your server’s resources folder.
3. Add it to your server.cfg.
4. Restart your server.

server.cfg# Electron Anticheat
start ElectronAC

According to Electron, most servers are protected within a few minutes. The full steps, including whitelist setup and the admin menu, are in the documentation.

Pricing

There are monthly, quarterly and lifetime plans, with prices including VAT. According to Electron’s own comparison page, a year costs €149.99. That’s cheaper than FiniAC’s monthly plans (€419.88 per year). FiveGuard (€125) and Reaper ($165) are cheaper for one year with a lifetime licence, but don’t offer full session replay.

The pricing page lists the same items on all three plans: web panel, in-game menu, framework integration, player lookup, in-game map, monitoring, session replay, dev license and 24/7 support. Elsewhere, Electron describes session replay and the dev license as available "on select plans". So check what’s in your plan when you buy.

The dev license is a second licence for your staging server, so you can test settings before they go live.

Free tools for everyone

Even without a licence, Electron offers a few handy FiveM tools:

• a browser for all FiveM model hashes;
• a JOAAT converter;
• a viewer for FiveM profiler recordings;
• an overview of FiveM changelogs;
• a status page for the FiveM platform.
