This is a painful truth and one of the worst aspects of this game is that bad play can be rewarded in such a way as to encourage it. I’m seeing a LOT of combi rushers now and bet this is the reason. They mow down noobs and think this is a great easy way to win, then get their asses handed to them by one smart and experienced FT player and rage quit.
Deal with these cheaters!
Yesterday, me and @Scarface_1983 saw a PS dude shooting a combistick at us with no animation. There was no lifting combi and aiming. And then some ppl here are trying to paint a picture of how console players don’t cheat. It’s ridiculous.
it can be done without macros. Just press Aim and Fire at the same time. You will unlikely press them simultaneously, but a difference in timing is so little that you will “hip-fire”. Is not cheating, IMO.
The infamous “bow bug” where you attack with your wristblades instead of shooting is an error in timing. If you hit the fire button before the aim button, you will attack with the wristblades.

Ah, ok, I haven’t tried that. I got so used to playing against PC Preds who shoot combi’s like they were bullets that I actually popped Tab to see if that dude was on PC, then I asked Scarface if he saw the same.
Oh man, I know about that bug. But on my side, from my experience, my CH '97 was bugged with wristblade attacks to the point where he would slash even when I don’t click at all to aim or shoot.
Few months back, I fired an arrow and didn’t click anything after that, I was just standing still and my CH did a wristblade attack.
It can get so annoying sometimes. I’m a fast clicker so I get it that this game can bug out if you do multiple actions in a short amount of time but when I saw my CH doing an attack when I didn’t even pressed anything, I was like fuck CH and I stopped using it for a while.
I’ve had a few instances where inputs are not registered right away and later they activate, like seconds later… more often than not happens in private matches

It’s ping related. Whenever I play privates with high ping, I kill an AI and after two seconds I see AI dropping. But when I host, like you said, it’s not happening.

No one should use any macros, on any faction.
Because you are removing the need to do the manual inputs yourself, its cheating.
And I’m sorry you dont see how it’s the same as using a macro to spam hadokens or do combos, but it is.
Another thing.
You’re acting like I use or would use macros.
Not for pvp. Maybe for a single player game with a LOT of required inputs like a space sim game but not for multiplayer. At least not pvp.
I dont like easy mode or unfair advantages.
Unlike you man, I just dont find cheating fun.
You’re fine with minor ones.
I get that.
Its fucked up, but whatever, not my problem.
But if youre fine with small ones, I can already imagine if someone pisses you off in a match, you would bust out full on hacks or cheats xD.
You never grew out of the cheat code phase most of us had as kids lol.

You thought that was cheating?
Lmao I do that all the time.
You basically have to quick scope and press aim right before u throw.
Lol
But you run the netgun

Well if you shoot the combi by canceling animation, there’s no actual animation of Pred lifting the combi and throwing it, it literally goes out like a bullet and Hamlet said, that’s not intended.
Furthermore, you can add another “combo” with animation canceling, like shooting combi followed by insta shooting arrow, that way you’ll deal over 170 dmg in less than a second, basically downing any class. Do I consider that “gameplay” as cheating?
Yes I do.
It’s just quick scoping.
And you also get thrown into the animation of busting out your claws.
I, dont do the combi into arrow nor am I planning on using it.
I just throw the stick faster.
And since I dont focus on only throwing the stick, it’s not like I’m hopping around only throwing the stick.
So, I’m sorry to tell you, this ain’t cheating.
Unless you wanna start considering quick scoping on ft or hip firing with a sniper rifle cheating.
Now, if it would cancel out the busting out the wrist blades animation, then sure.
But this doesn’t make any really difference.
So throwing the combi into an arrow?
Sure, a problem I guess.
But quick scoping the combi?
Not really.
Mind you, you still gotta fucking aim the thing, it’s not like its turns into a homing rocket.
The way I see it instead of lifting his arm to throw, the pred does an underhand throw.
Nah, you are talking about quick scoping, I’m talking about canceling animations.
We’re both right, just on two different topics I guess.
This was painful to read…
Im not. Im simply saying around here “cheats” only apply for FT. Anyone says and shows video of pred cheating and it gets excused…
Well wasnt me. I dont think macros should be used on either side.
So your prob is with other ppl.
Or any cheats for that matter.
So? You can do that since day one, you need to learn bit more about game mechanics my dude ;-)
