[Guide] How to report users and cheaters

So far from quads, there has been little to no cheating. Sometimes I would see a full squad aimbotting and wall hacking. I thought the game was doing better until tonight. There's a ton of cheaters online. I've just played 5 matches that had back to back cheaters that were not even trying to hide the cheats.

Edited: Mixtape has been badly swarmed by cheaters. I have no idea how any legit player can still play that playlist. I also don't know how Control is the "best" mode, as usually what happens is that the cheaters are all on one team, and they just gatekeep you at your team's spawn point.

Edited 2: I reported a cheater and then the next game I got them as a teammate. Why are we getting players we report as teammates?

Edited 3: At this point, cheaters should be put into their own lobby so the rest of us don't have to play with them. The moment they get caught cheating is the moment they're waiting in que for a match to start with only cheaters. Why? Because clearly they're not getting banned and even if they are, they're back within minutes. I saw one of HisWattson's streams recently, and they were getting killed by a level 21 pred who was rage hacking, (in other words, the cheater was NOT hiding their cheats).

If they can't, (or won't), put cheaters into their own matches, at least improve the anti-cheat. Any game that is "protected" by EAC is a game flooded by cheaters.

Edited 4: I just went into a few quad matches today, (7/19/2024), and every match was FLOODED by cheaters. I saw a ton of people aimbotting, wall hacking, using anti-recoil, using scripts, etc. Its not just one team cheating either, its multiple different teams and some are 4-stacking.

Edited 5: [S22] 8/8/2024 Just had a cheater crash the server right after my teammates had killed them. The cheater was aimbotting one of us, but we all shot them down. Then the game froze and I was kicked back to the main menu with no error. Then when trying to rejoin the match, it said "code: over, the match may have ended", confirming the server was crashed. (The team we killed did have a Wattson, and Wattson was able to crash servers, but I doubt a legend like Wattson had crashed the server as it was us and one other team and at that point, why would the other team cause a crash? I was Valk, and my teammates were Alter and Octane, so they couldn't of crashed the game either.)

Edited 6: [S22] 8/13/2024 Yup, the cheating issue is worse than last season, which was expected because this season is a lot better in many ways compared to the last. I just wish cheaters didn't ruin the game for others.

Edited 7: [S22] 9/2/2024 I'm seeing less people using aimbot, and more players using things like strikepacks, XIM, Chronus Zen, etc. I've also been seeing a lot more players using wall hacks and 6-12 manning in ranked.

There's another issue as well, (while I can't tell if its server related), I'm seeing players who appear to be lag switching. As I'm shooting them, their player model would start to glitch side to side like an illusion, (example gif below). When I get an in-game example, I'll replace the gif below with it:

Edited: I stopped seeing this happen. I wonder if it was just an issue with the server.



While in this state, they're landing all their shots as mine aren't being registered.

Edited: 9/24/2024 Sadly there's been an uptick in cheaters again. I wonder if a more frequent ban wave would help. I'm also seeing a lot more teamers in silver to gold lobbies. Can we get an ability to report squads for teaming, where the report option asks us which team they're teaming with?
