Rapid fire sidearms

I've noticed an increase lately of pistols firing at high rates is this caused by the use of modded controllers .I was under the impression the use of these would be constituted as cheating and the anti-cheat software would detect this

    Hey hylndr67​ 

    A high fire rate on its own isn’t enough to confirm that someone is using a modified controller or other unauthorised method, and we wouldn’t be able to determine that from the forum.

    If you suspect a player may be cheating, please report them in-game where possible, as this also provides information that can help with the review. You can also use the EA Help reporting form here: Report cheating or a player

    Thanks for flagging your concern.

  • My question and concern would be how accurate they are with this high rate of fire? Are they landing every shot? Are they headshots?

    Those seem like more sketchy things than someone just rapid firing their pistol at me. Anyone can do that, not everyone can land every shot (and they shouldn't be able to, but this is BF6)

  • If it's on a console, then EA can't really do anything.  All the cheater has to do is limit the trigger rate to whatever the anti-cheat thinks is human speed, and it will work.  

    EA can't monitor consoles like it can PC.  Not to say their PC anti-cheat is great either, but on consoles the best they can do is decide if certain inputs are inhuman or not.

    You combine this with how the auto-aim works... best?  Better?  Stronger?... when you spam ADS.  This was one of the earlier ways they caught console cheaters, because people were inputting hundreds of times a second.  Limit that to what EA thinks is a "human" speed and you won't get caught.
