Are PC players really Cheating ???

    Hackes usually get packet blocking down in a couple days. (why your shots don't deal damage to a hacker) and aimbot software is basically at the point that any script kiddy can set it up for a new game, same with wall hacks(they are usually part of the same system) there's already demos of these hacks all over youtube.

    I love this game and Rare, but they aren't veteran fps developers. I don't expect them to be able to much about the hacks. Reporting is difficult.

    I suggest always be ready to screen shot when a hacker's name is on your screen, so you can look at it later and report them. (since it's hard to memorize player names in game)

    But don't expect rare to be able to do anything about the reports anytime soon, I don't think they have the infrastructure to monitor and validate reports. (hope im wrong!)

    Like every other game, yes some people are absolutely cheating. But also like every other game, the number of people cheating is NOWHERE NEAR the number of people being accused of cheating. I've been accused of cheating three times already. Back when I played Titanfall, I got accused of cheating in nearly every match. Most hackusations are nothing but sore losers.

    That is definitely not true at all.

    People can cheat on consoles as well. In some cases/games it's actually easier.

    But one can simply search online and find the typical cheat client fare. Speed hacks, wall hacks, etc. It's not just this game it's practically every competitive FPS game. Some developers, given the design of the client or infrastructure, are just better able to deal with it than others.

    @shralla being good is one thing being shot from 4 seperate angles and living is another man. Ive seen a guy point blanked with a blunderbuss and then waved

    It's really hard to tell, but we went up against a crew where two of them were really bad bullet sponges. All my blunderbuss pellets, and two power hits with the sword and he didn't even touch a 'nana. It could have been lag but seems unlikely. If it was hacks it sucks, but eventually rare will solve it.

  • iblamecupid

    i've seen a few players with a jump and fast sword attack macros. they need that to win pvp which is sad.

    I play on PC and can solemnly say I have never seen anyone I believe to be cheating. Then again I avoid conflict as much as possible but my statement still stands.

    I play on pc with a xbox controller. And many times I'll 1v4 people on a galleon all day. This game doesn't honestly feel like a hardcore shooter thus controller is perfectly balanced. People will cry about anything honestly. Yes there are hacks for this game mainly EST that allows players to see players through walls and see all loot on an island. And they should be brutally banned for life.

  • Tine Sionnach

    @cpt-beardcrumbs The reason you are not seeing proof of this is because every time someone post a legitimate video of someone cheating the post gets edited and removed by Rare I personally have come across 3 crews of cheaters and i watch a lot of streams and have seen 4 or 5 others cheating while watching them. It is a problem and from what I am seeing in game it is getting worse.

    Why would PC players cheat when they already have the mouse advantage

  • Noble Daga

    Just found my first after many hours of play. Sniper shot and 6 hits with sword immediately afterwards and he didn’t drop.

    @iblamecupid you don't need a macro to do this, and I've taught people on xbox how to do this. Pretty dumb that there are still people out here who don't understand basic mechanics of swordplay. Now I understand why there are so many hackusations on this forum.

  • Moxiesan

    @cpt-beardcrumbs Yes, SOME PC players have used a cheat program. It's not all and far from it.

    Hahahaha, I'm actually not complaining about it, I actually believe hackers add difficulty to the game (even though it shouldn't be alowed) which is nice, but the post made a question and I answered, LOL

    PC hacks are not hard to find, all it takes is a google search.
    That being said, I play on both PC and Xbox. Xbox at home, and PC at the office on break time.

    While on the PC, i 100% without a doubt have an advantage when it comes to movement and aiming. The keyboard and mouse lets me turn and move faster, and aim waaaaaay more accurately, there is no question or argument about it.
    I have NEVER cheated, or ran across anyone else that i believe was cheating in the game... But PC players DO have an advantage, that to many xbox players may SEEM like cheating. Even with the sensitivity all the way up on my xbox, its slower than it is on the PC, and I am waaay more accurate on the PC when it comes to shooting weapons.

    So yes fighting against PC players might seem like cheating. The advantage is there, the cross platform thing has its advantages and disadvantages, but its not going away anytime soon so we will have to learn to deal with it. But I dont personally honestly think there are as many PC cheaters as people make it seem to be on here.

    I have seen a few ppl on here complain that some PC users are using hacks in game auto aim etc etc the usual shenanigans. Does anyone have any proof of this? this is purely out of curiosity of my own. I am just wondering if people are really cheating or people are just looking for reasons to why they suck at the game lol

    Beardcrumbs out

    was hunting forts, before I quit this game, with a few randoms. they insisted me and one other stay on the boat while they beat the fort, the two of them. I obliged since I normally stayed with the boat anyways. the other dude did too. sure enough within about 15minutes the fort was defeated. figured it was because someone else had knocked out most the waves. we turn in and hop servers until we find another fort. this time, the same thing, you two stay on the boat! now I’m curious, because that’s just dumb. I had parked the boat between to towers and we were safe from fire. I climb in the crows nest to observe their stray and keep an eye out. to my surprise they’re both standing on pillars blasting away, they had an infinite inventory. I watched these two clowns c**g bananas and blast skeletons with their guns generally safe from attack. w*f....

    Dude im about to post a youtube videos of all the Cheater/scripting players i have come across. There is people in god mode, unlimited ammo, people with knowledge of you at all times, 1 shot blunderbuss, Auto aim/ target locking, people with increased health and no visible of eating a banana to heal but takes a ton of damage but wont die. check out my youtube warhavic is my channel name. I am personally sick and tired of these people cheating and taking away good and fun times from good people. Those who are cheating have no true legit skill. People complaining about it are not people who cry allot. its a obvious problem and not just this game. Something needs to be done.

  • OHeck

    @cpt-beardcrumbs As a PC gamer for decades, I can say of course there are hackers. There always are in PC games. Is this game running rampant with hackers? I don't think so. I think there are a lot of false positives due to netcode and hit registration issues. This is Rare's first multiplayer game if I'm not mistaken. It's not surprising considering all these same issues plague companies that make multiplayer games all the time.

  • BigKranner

    @cpt-beardcrumbs yes there are cheaters ! Whe where following a 2 players boat , 1 man just came on us boat killed us 4.. ! And the boat was getting more and more water by hes presence on the boat, i spawn to check the holes nothing to repear but was sinking like there where 10 holes , they did not even schoot on us boat !!! A'm soo pist that i had not take a video ! The gamer was a neww account with 200G
    You can believe what you want guys ! But i know what i saw. Since thad i stopt playing this game. No PC players pleas! Pff

  • TtargetPractice

    There are certainly a few cheaters as there are with any game, but the amount of hackusations thrown around here are unreal. Many xbox players are convinced that every pc game is full of hackers, and anything that is beyond their ability or comprehension is a hack.

    I play on xbox and have received numerous messages accusing me of being a pc hacker. I watched this guy stream sot and he swore the people they were fighting with were hacking but you can just look at the stream and see that he's about 15 degrees off center with every one of his shots. They weren't hacking, he was just bad. I tried to convince him of this and the guy didn't want to hear it. I mean, all he had to do was review his own footage, but no. It's easier to call it hax and move along.

    @cpt-beardcrumbs there is lots of proofjust google it or go to youtube and search it. Posting such proof here earns you a forum ban so i would suggest againt doing that.

    That being said, most pc players dont cheat and the game world is large with so many instances that knowingly coming across a cheater will be rare...

    if you run into one, clip it and report them, if its legit maybe theyll catch a ban

    @nattens-barn said in Are PC players really Cheating ???:

    Yesterday I came across a player with a type of "God mode"
    , so yes PC players uses hacks...

    Please don't suggest that all PC players use cheats or hacks. Perhaps edit that to "some PC players".

    @cpt-beardcrumbs I too am a PC user and I have considered buying a controller simply because 12 buttons has to be easier to handle and remember than 31 keys, right? But that's not an Xbox advantage, now is it?
    At 56 I am the oldest that I have met playing this game. Slowing down a lot.
    Most times that I need to turn fast it turns way too far and I still can't see my attacker be it PVP or a skeleton. I just don't know if I could get used to a controller.

    As I'm almost blind I should also exchange my 19" monitor for the large family TV.
    But that's not an Xbox advantage, oh noooooo. Never hear that one being mentioned.

    And the best one yet, that I MUST be a cheat because I play on a PC instead of a console.
    l***o. If you ever saw me in PvP action you would know for sure that I don't use any cheats. I couldn't hit the side of a barn if I tried. lol

    But every once in a blue moon I actually kill an attacker (more so by fluke than accuracy), so I must have an advantage or use cheats. They only see that perfect shot once and assume I do that consistently. Far from it. lol
    Such kiddies need to get over being beaten. They are giving the mature Xbox players a bad name.

    @cpt-beardcrumbs If you search youtube you can see videos of people cheating. I can't say I have met anyone that amazing to think they were cheating yet, but I suppose it is possible.

    @cpt-beardcrumbs yes there is plenty of proof. Look on youtube. The videos and cheat apps have thousands of upvotes and downloads. SoT is the only console game I've ever met a cheater in. Forced Cross-play is to blame, of course.

    It's those skeletons that have cheats installed, they have insane accuracy at range not to mention the blunderbuss insta-kill trains!
