PC players in console lobbies?
That is 3 times in the last two gaming sessions I have come across a PC player in a console lobby. One of my sons on Ps4 same as myself play a lot of duos together. It was my understanding that as lo...

Wish there was a video with this one. I move/jump while looting deathboxes for shield swaps though. You sure they’re strafing left and right? How about the icon on their banner, was it also a PC icon?
@Cheese9Man Yes, I know how to jump over a deathbox and quickly take one thing. I know what a PC player can do while looting a box for 10 solid seconds and strafing back and forth as I watch them take their sweet time going through the loot.
@Cheese9Man There was no icon... never seen that before.
And if I was new to the game, I get it....maybe I'm not sure of the difference or what have you. But Im an above average player with thousands of hrs into this game. When someone jumps moves across in mid flight that many feet and back again the same distance all while still in mid air - yup...pretty sure I know what Im seeing. One of my sons plays on PC and I have watched him play a lot! I have watched many videos of how to tap strafe on controller/console, and have logged many hours trying to pull it off... It can't be done to the degree of PC and what little can be done is extremely and I mean extremely hard to learn.
@Cheese9Man Just pulled this from online, apparently the following is a Dev's response -
Console players doesn't have to worry about being matched with pc players, unless they joined up with one:
"You will only be in PC crossplay lobbies if you have a PC player on your team"(CM: Posts shared in a row have been merged. Check out this post for tips on how to edit and add more to a post.)
Crossplay is enabled bij default, you can disable it in your console's settings.
- @XHelperZ it's useless. You turn it off and you won't find any game. It is nothing more than a pseudo-option with no practicality.
That's because there are barely any console players that disable cross-play.
If players don't enable this option, does this mean that they like cross-play?
If so, should these platforms be forcibly split apart?
I mean, if users like cross-play so much, you'd make quite the portion of players mad by forcing them like that.
@NickBeam27So yeah IDK what you saw. The only way you could see PC players is when you’re in premade squad with a PC player. As for cheats, bronze rank cheaters can join pred lobbies and vice versa. I haven’t heard of any cheats where you can join a console lobby.
If you felt that I’ve belittled your skill, I don’t mean that and I apologize.
@Cheese9Manmaybe he encountered box jumpers and horizon side sliding.
that's why OP confused them with PC players, but I am sure there will be no PC players in console lobbies.
unless they hack it same as what happened a few seasons ago.

Hey, as noted this definitely shouldn't be happening, and some plausible reasons have been put forward for why it might appear so.
That said, occasionally strange things happen. @NickBeam27 if you happen to have any recordings of the match in question, can you DM me with a link to it (hosting on youtube is the easiest) and we can take a look.
There's some great info in the post, but at this stage I don't think there's much merit to a further back and forth so we'll lock it off.
Thank you.
