Protected

Cheaters look for numbers they can change: score, health, saves, and time. Protected types keep those values safer and can notice when someone tampers with them.

You replace a normal Unity type or call with the AntiCheat version. The way you read and write the value stays the same.

Memory

A memory editor can search for a plain number and overwrite it. Protected types hide the real value and check it when you use it.

Type	Free	Pro	What it is for
Primitives	+	+	Numbers, text, vectors, and other single values
Collections		+	Lists, queues, and stacks
Data chain		+	An ordered list that notices a changed entry
Block chain		+	The same idea, with an optional copy on a server

• Primitives cover everyday values such as int, float, string, Vector3, and Quaternion.
• Collections protect a whole list, queue, or stack, not only one number.
• Data chain keeps values in order. It fits scores, achievements, or a currency log.
• Block chain can also send and receive those values from your server, and still notice a broken chain.

PlayerPrefs

Unity PlayerPrefs are stored in the open. A player can edit them.

Type	Free	Pro	What it is for
ProtectedPlayerPrefs	+	+	Same place as Unity PlayerPrefs
ProtectedFileBasedPlayerPrefs	+	+	A file you choose. The default folder is Application.persistentDataPath

Warning

Set a Value Encryption Key in the project settings before you rely on encryption. The shipped settings leave that key empty.

Time

Speed hacks change how fast the game thinks time is passing. Players can also move the device clock to skip a timer.

Type	Free	Pro	What it is for
Game time		+	A safer replacement for Time.deltaTime and the other Time values
Device time		+	A safer UTC clock for rewards, trials, and daily events

Guides: Speedhacks and Device clock.

Input

An auto clicker can press a button much faster than a person.

Type	Free	Pro	What it is for
Protected input		+	A rate limit for keys, mouse, gamepad, touch, and input actions

Each button on each device has its own limit. The default is 10 presses per second. You need the Input System package.
