Macro's

People seem to be using AutoClick Macro on FT to escape from predator nets faster.

Anything that relies on the rapid press of a key or button can be Macroed and exploited.

Macro can fire semi auto clip in seconds.
Macro can escape a net instantly.
Possibly anything else that requires this (pistols)

Add a minimum time to these things so they cant be abused.

you could conceivably mash a button phyically 6-8 maybe 10 times a second. some people im sure can do more. but limit it to something reasonable.

Weapon fire should be limited to the rate of fire that is identical to its full-auto mode. (if it has one)

This is rendering nets virtually useless which sucks because they can be pretty useful. Here’s an example:

1h 5m 31s

is this a cheat ?

yes its exploiting an oversight in the code. devs didnt consider that people would use macros.

I would guess the same can be done with a “turbo” gamepad if those are still a thing.

Yeah. It may not be one of the classic cheats like an aim bot or wall hack but it definitely is. The devs did not design the net to be broken that quickly as otherwise it’s almost useless. Now granted it is a poor mechanic on the devs part. Or at least it’s a poor implementation of it. Hammering F does a reasonable job of trying to give the feeling of desperately trying to escape the net. I think moving the mouse around furiously would work better but then you may run into issues with people who cannot do that.

Either way it just needs a minimum escape time to prevent people cheating like this.
