Cheaters and Exploiters are everywhere

#1

I’ve had games where people shoot me from the ground, and I mean bullets were shooting UP THROUGH OVERGROWTH CLIFF into my predator who is STANDING on said cliff. I could see the FT player with a sensor trap below me, and all I could do was minor chip dmg with leap slam, but they could shoot my trap, and I would miss.

Idc if ur pc, or PS4. Come out, and face your death like an adult. Don’t be a glitchy little piss baby like this. Everyone argues about who’s OP, and who’s not. It doesn’t even MATTER once you’re cheating on a level that is SO fucking obvious. You’re literally the worst. You ruined a match where I legitimately earned 3 other trophies. Everyone else was a leaver too. Leavers, cheaters, potatoes, and so called “pc death squads.” Tbh I don’t notice a difference. I’ve had games where I’m being spotted from beginning to end happen against ALL ps4, and was like WTF.
Sometimes I even pull off a win and kill everyone during those types of matches…and as mad or salty or anxious as those matches make me NOTHING can stand up to the sheer rage I felt during this ground shooter off the edge of the map.

This type things should come with video evidence. Usually people confuse skill with cheating.

I’ve experienced the a couple of FT hiding underground in a rock formation a while back, and pretty sure it was somewhere on the edge of Overgrowth.

They didn’t shoot me through the ground though, even though I was sat right above them farming the proximity XP until the match ended and they lost anyway.

The hide under map exploit is on back water btw

This game is full of bugs, that’s for sure. Had to switch from using a male support to female because of the number of times I got stuck in trees. Its probably because of the big frame, since I switched to female it never happened.

#6

You’re right. I actually got so mad remembering I mistyped it as overgrowth, but overgrowth is my favorite map. Derailed is k. Backwater was where this happened, and it made me hate that map more than I already do.

I like turtles.

You can thank the reinforcement timer going up for increasing the number.

Some adjustments, say small plus or minus some amount of damage doesn’t change anything. But the reinforcement mechanic is subject to attention span. Most normal people won’t wait more than a minute (sorry my short attention span brothers and sisters, we’re not the group it should be set for), and if they do stick around it’s cause they’re watching their teammate head to the radio.

When they upped the time they actually started training their FT players to quit out. It didn’t just extend the time, it subtly changed how the live players behaved. Instead of reinforcing they just escape. If that happens even a couple of times, the dead person realizes they’re not waiting a minute, their waiting 5, their sticking around to watch someone else get rushed at the exit. They’re watching the last guy sacrifice the second last guy so he can just escape.

It is literally encouraging the opposite of team play. Devs and players both need to be aware of when bad choices are effecting how players make decisions. Devs need to not train their players to do things that frustrate their teammates or the end result is no one has fun. No one has fun and they simply go play a game that is.

They already raised the time it takes to reinforce to 20 seconds in the second, last patch, no idea why they felt the need to raise the time it takes before you can reinforce in the last patch. Now I get a lot of leavers.

I end up with 3 fireteam memebers including me after someone dies and then they proceed to rush to exfil or we die to predator cause everyone is running around like a chicken with here head cut off. And then theres the action hero who doesn’t reinforce who think they can either A- kill the pred solo
Or B rush to exfil and die to ai or pred. When everyone is pressing reinforcement button while last player ignores it.

Lot of ppl confuse cheating for skill also

#12

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this but I saw a fireteam member mud up inside a building. Is that some kind of cheat? How would they be able to mud up inside a building lol. The team had 2 PC and 2 PS4 if that matters.

#13

Nope. Another glitch that’s existed since the beginning. Sometimes you can mud up on vehicles, stairs, and rocks too. Not very often, just an occasional glitch. This game has so much that needs fixing. Maybe it will eventually feel polished, but I don’t have any more hope of that. I refuse to buy city hunter or any other dlc going forward, until they can demonstrate otherwise.

@Schoolboy_Skeptik

Oh okay, and yeah there’s still a few bugs that Illfonic needs to fix.

#15

The devs didnt train anyone to do that. People just choose to do it.
So even tho illfonic messes up a lot shit, if were being fair, we cant blame them for people doing that.

If I could see it would happen they could have too.

#17

So do you want them to lower the time?

There really isnt any solution to this, or people leaving that illfonic could implement that wouldnt be too much.

#18

I would reset it to 60 seconds, and fix the spam of the alert.

Not sure what else, I’ll think about it.

#19

Lol I love spamming that with my buddies. Dont really do it to randoms tho.

#20

Not really its definitely added an element of suspense in getting to, and staying alive long enough to get the team back and helps draw out the matches and give predators a chance to be how they should be hunters. Or scout out the radio before the objective and this hardly has an effect slip away during the engagement towards the radio and bam I really dont get why people hate it except they cant act like chickens with their heads cut off and reinforce
