Just another Lie by this Dev team. Asked ChatGPT about using a zen on console….
Hey CruiseDavis,
You didn't mention what findings your ChatGPT had regarding this issue or what sources it used to come up with its answer, so I'm not sure what you think is the lie here.
That said, here's an official source from several members of the dev team discussing this. It's not at all being pushed under the rug.
TL;DR - Yes, it's an issue we're aware of, and it's one we continue working on from multiple angles.
Q:Any news on strikepack/cronus/xim/aim botting/wall hacking on console - a lot of pc players glitching into console - major problem in ranked lobbies especially.
We are aware of the situation with 3rd party devices on consoles and are working on solutions to detect and combat them, though I can't share any timelines at the moment.
It is a difficult problem to solve for multiple reasons, but one of the biggest is the ability to accurately detect the devices themselves across the various platforms and devices. Our approach is behavioural detection for the specific macros and functions that give a gameplay advantage.
Q: Are strike packs, Xim or Cronus detectable and punishable? Or is it needed to be allowed due to accessibility issues with custom controller. People born with disabilities for example need it to play effectively.
In some cases the devices themselves are not against the terms of service, however some of the functionality they offer is, such as macros.
Our goal is to detect and combat the specific functions that are used to give an unfair advantage.Q: As a console player, how seriously are cheating reports taken when players are suspected of using third-party hardware like Cronus, XIM, or strike packs? These devices give unfair advantages in casual modes too, and reporting them often feels like shouting into the void. Is there any transparency or feedback planned for these kinds of reports?
You can refer to this response for the answer to part of your question.
In regards to reports, yes we do take them seriously and there will be feedback given as we roll out new detections in the future.
