How does ALGS prevent participants from using macros?
Since EAC can’t detect macros, how do they make sure there are no players using rapidfire and no-recoil macros in the online tournament?

@DeathRaven_1983I'm just guessing, Down load the macro and time the fire rate of the macro.. Have their server watch for players who match that fire rate..
Example, the right macro turns a Hemlock into full auto. They could run numerous examples with it and time the macro. If the player matches it flag the account and have someone review it.
Another way, let's say you have a hemlock in single fire and use a macro to automatically spam fire it. your fire rate will always be identical. Especially when it comes to the delay or lack there of between shots. If you're not using a macro the time between shots will not always be identical there would be slight variations. Let's say on average it takes you .2 seconds to press the fire button.. But in reality it would probably range between .18 seconds and .22 seconds. Macro would make that identical meaning every time they fire it would be the same.
basically if it were me, I would just analyze the macros and look for similarities that pop up. When I find similarities create an algorithm that looks for that and flags the individual account.
@DarthValtrexIf what you said is true, Respawn should extend that system to all platforms. Because at least 60% of PS4 players in Platinum in my region use them.
- @DeathRaven_1983 What guns are you seeing it on? I don't run one and play on xbox a lot, I can fire most of the semi autos really fast. The only one I slow down a bit with is the wingman because of its recoil.
@DarthValtrexG7 with mid-range sights. They are able to down a purple shielded player within 1.5 seconds form 200m away. Normally, If you don’t get into cover within 1 seconds after getting shot, you’ll be dead.
P.S. I live in Asia.
- @DeathRaven_1983 Is it the same player doing all the damage? I can kill people in 3-4 shots with a G7. Mid range scopes are all I use on any sniping type gun. Typically a 3x or 2x-4x. 200M is a bit on the long range side of things with a G7 especially with a 4x but I can definitely drop lower skilled players at that range with one.
When I play with my main friends, we have system when we snipe. We all target the same player and call out shots. So you'll get dropped almost instantly unless one of us misses a shot...
