I'm aware it's an anti-cheat system, but what's the extent of what it can do? Does it bury itself into a kernel like Denuvo does? How much access does it get to my system and what can it do to it?
What is Battleye and how bad is it?

I'd like to know what I'm agreeing to install before I install it, especially with a program that has that level of access to my computer.

No matter what anyone tells you, you have no guarantee that information is correct, and you would have better luck on a forum where they'd have that info, like a cheat forum. Though even there, the info will be limited, they'll only reverse enough to know how to break it, and not the thing in its entirety.
So the real answer is they can do anything. Arguably theres enough incentive to not do anything. Don't worry about it unless you are a dissident.

Most modern anti-cheat systems are kernel level. The reason for the recent anxiety over that is because it leaves a backdoor. Almost anything you install on your computer has the potential to be used as a backdoor. It's kind of hard to use an internet connected computer without some risk of some crackhead slipping in, sadly.

This is why I only game on consoles. They can lock it down and install all the "telemetry" they want, and I don't care because it's on a special-purpose gimped computer that only plays games.
