Re: Proof that anti-cheat doesnt work

@Babbediboopi What's worse than constantly running into hackers, (like 2 out of every 3 games I play has a hacker, normally a full team all using aimbot/wall hacks/etc.) Is that you get two teammates who don't know their left from their right, don't know how to aim, don't know how to help, and they run off into Narnia loot, wait for you to die, run up to your box to loot, get killed, and you just repeat that until the end of time.

I'm so sick of being killed by hackers who are clearly aimbotting/wall hacking and getting teammates that should 100% be placed in a different game with different teammates who play like them.

Most of the hackers are either Pathfinder or Wraith as well. Ran into a few of other legends, but it's mostly Pathfinder and Wraith.

I saw a Pathfinder today run faster than Octane to a supply bin and I was close enough to where I would of heard a grapple; he didn't deploy it. He just speed ran. In another match my team took out 3 squads around a building, another team consisting of Wraith, Pathfinder, and Octane appears out of nowhere, aimbots both of my teammates; instantly killing them, and I fenced up part of the building and ran out.

Here's the kicker...

Two of them (Pathfinder / Wraith), went to where I exited and started shooting at me, while their teammate (Octane) M A G I C A L L Y walks through my Wattson fences without setting them off or breaking them and blocked the door. So, basically, I couldn't run or go back inside because this team was using wall hacks to see where I was gonna go so they could block every single route.

It's things like this that makes me just want to quit playing the game.

    I have seen 5,4k kill cheater and lost hope. If this continues in season 4, i made my mind to quit and play EFT.

  • yeeep... Exactly my thought! Tried the Cycle... too harmless... Tried CSGO... too oldschool

    I looked at EFT, too and I am very interrested...

    @Midnight9746 Not that speed hacks are impossible, but all of the hack types you just mentioned would be crazy hard NOT to spot due to how they would have to try and interact with the game. A hack that could let your client not take damage/move faster? The server would see the discrepancy in a heartbeat. A hack that aims for you? Muuuuch harder to detect from the server side, as is a hack that lets you see through walls. Those two hacks have been around in all FPS type games since the dawn of time, and they are constantly changing to avoid detection from the anti-cheat programs. In the cases of auto-aim and see through walls, you aren't making your character perform 'impossible' feats from the server's perspective. You're just REALLY good at aiming and REALLY good at hearing/knowing where your enemy is. An impossible (and easily flagged via software) thing is moving 3 steps worth of movement in 2 steps.

    @Draknost Hacks just tell the server that something didn't hit because it just goes "I didn't get a hit packet" and moves on. Speed is just like "I'm over here now". There's videos on youtube of people yeeting across the entire map at fast speeds. They're, as you said, easier to spot.
