Garden Warfare 2 PC Cheaters
Is EA going to ignore the elephant in the room and fix the PC cheating problem? Lately I have been seeing more and more and it's getting annoying. If we can get their attention about the server conne...

@SirLuigi5528 I'm fighting with cheaters since 2018, without big success, every night i play (mostly EU), and almost every night there must be at least one cheater, sometimes there's even 3 or 4 in one lobby! Some of them know a ''trick'' to either crash the lobby or just crash the entire game. I do reports as usual, but then you'd see the same cheater joining every now and then over 4-5 months so is useless, i did few reports throughout email.. EA did not even respond, and had been one month or so since the report, so i gave up from mailing them, is not worth, and this one particular Zap.... (can't say full name) is crashing the lobbies/game over 4-5 months now and nothing, being reported everyday

I remember those posts too. It's been a long term problem that mars an otherwise excellent game. I've been reporting cheaters I encounter every time I can, even if not enough is being done. With the game going up on Steam and I'm seeing a nice surge of new players, the fact that this still happens is appalling. We should have never had this issue in the first place, but with so many new folks finding this largely enjoyable game, it really needs to be addressed more aggressively.
With the new Steam release I gave it another try after a long break and played about 20 TT matches over the course of a couple days. There are plenty of things i could talk about but 100% cheating i only confirmed with one player who did the classic damage buff. With that he had statistically 1 vanquish every 10 seconds, 80 damage splash and even 1-shot me.
Others i encountered were "modded" morons who altered their abilities or spawned as boss. Which is now some kind of ongoing meme where the cool kids seem to have to do it to aquire unlimited stardom among their peers.
The live streams on twitch i watched were awful though. Like 3 out of 5 matches had bosses in them. But i generally noticed how bold people are now with their 1 billion coins and 600 rainbow stars while playing Boss Hunt and messing with the developer menu. All coming from cheating af course. Which btw they would never do in a match they say as they crash others games.
Part of this is probably related to the Frostbite leak which enabled modding.
The game is definitely in an abysmal state right now. And looking at the leaderboards i can see that EA still doesn't care enough. Those top ranked players are all cheaters holding these spots basically since the game released. It's hard to trust anything anymore in this game and all the good players i know are long gone.
