I play on PC, crossplay. I encounter two players playing on PC too. I recorded the entire gameplay of the match. What concerns me was that one player (on PC) (HideRunFight) was consistently tailing me and knowing my location and pinpointing where I am at. 2nd player (also on PC) (ThePoomer420) seems to have some sort of invulnerability. I know some hits missed but when he got pinned to the wall by the net gun and 3 physical hits missed, on top of that, he teleported out too. Please watch and let me know what you think. I manage to kill both of them and win the game still. I was not able to report them because I had some doubt they weren’t hacking. I just need a second opinion. If the community agrees they are hacking, is it possible to ban these two players from reporting them through here in the forum? Please search on youtube: “predator hunting grounds red skin hunter gameplay 2, possibly against 2 hackers.” Author is Wameng Her. Forum doesn’t allow me to post a link here.
Need confirmation on two players hacking or not
The forum does allow YouTube links. Just copy and paste it with space between the link and text.

So, I watched the video and I can’t say for sure if they are hacker’s.
Let’s talk about HideRunFight:
- I don’t hear him talking, so it’s hard to tell which nationality he has. Because for e.g. Russians (not all, but a few) tend to use low graphics, meaning they have set everything on low and can see the Pred even from miles away.
- Though he also could just have a very very good headset which allows pinpointing the Predator by sound.
- The same goes for when cloaked and healing. Some take random guess shots into the foliage and get lucky having an hit indication. Or again he just pinpointed you by sound.
Now to ThePoomer420:
- The fact that he was out of the net and suddenly was somewhere else is undeniable, could be a hack for sure … but there also always the possibility of high ping and therefore lagging.
- A Ping over 300 can cause lag and sudden jumps of the Fireteam or Predator or it can cause an input delay regarding damage or hits. Meaning you see them shoot at you but you get no damage. And suddenly boom second wind (Happened to me as my ping was quite high in one match)
- So, the jump out of the net could have been a ping spike happening that made it appear he teleported.
My suggestion
If you happen to have them both in match again or even just one of them in different matches to watch them again if the same strange things happen or if it will be normal while hunting them.
Note
Also keep in mind that some people who play shooters all the time could just be very trained in spotting and pinpointing by sound. Some just have talent and not all has to be a possible hack or cheat.
I’m not sure hacking works how you think it works.
0% chance of anything here being related to foul play or “hacks”
High chance neither of you understand computers very well.

They are definitely not cheating. They made some serious mistakes and so did you.
Apart from that it’s pretty racist to think that only russian players are using dirty tricks:
These low graphics rumors will never get out of people’s heads…
You can’t see a cloaked predator from miles away anymore when you use low graphics.
It was possible in the early months of the game, but got fixed.
Now you even see the Predator less than before and traps are 100% invisible on low graphics.
The only advantage that low graphics give you now is higher FPS, leading to a more responsive gameplay.
HideRunFight is a veteran player afaik, and he does the same stuff all other FT veterans do:
They just hear where the pred is, they see his blood drips, leaves falling, branches moving and other indicators, and they use their weapons to hitscan.
But most importantly, since we only got so few maps, it’s pretty easy to predict which paths a predator will go, if you are playing this game often enough.
The other guy only had a network package loss, this is a known issue and happens pretty often.
You will notice this by seeing people teleport, or they just stand in front of a wall running against it.
While for the affected player himself, the game is going on just as intended.
So sorry, but no hacks involved.
I’m invisible, how did you see me you cheater?
…because you have green blood dripping out of your ass hole.
That and he flashed his thermal right at them. Clear as day.
Haven’t watched whole vid OP but I saw that immediately when you put up “here’s where I get suspicious”
It wasn’t meant racist for sure. Maybe the phrasing makes it appear like racist. Which wasn’t my intend at all. I saw a few players in streams use low graphic and I also was up against a PC with russian accent (not meant racist either) and I watch my hunt against him clearly seeing myself approach them from 300-400 miles away. Not sure if it was the exact distance. Which can be annoying and maybe just that: annoying.
But yeah. It were my thoughts to that the first guy is just very good at what he’s doing and that the second lagged because I had something like this happen to me too as Pred where I shot an arrow and suddenly the Fireteam jumped to the right. It confused me shortly but I didn’t think of a hack or anything just “Welp, maybe his ping is fucked up”
There’s nothing in that videoclip telling you anything about players using any kind of hack, cheat or whatever. This is just another amateur Predator player who is ignorant and still have alot to learn when it comes to this game.
He’s injured, dropping glowing green blood on the ground, using vision mode when the FT are looking at his direction(the visor flashes bright yellow, which can be seen across the whole map), aswell as believing he’s completely invisible when having the cloak activated. Within 60m you can still be seen.
Once going for the boar he steps in water while being cloaked which causes sparks and sounds, giving away his location. Besides this many people already knows about some boar spawn areas, and it’s pretty obvious that the Predator is injured and needs to heal, any sane person would go check nearby boar spawns.
He keeps going south, leaving blood trails after him. Once healing up with the healing kit he seem to be surprised again that the FT finds him, yet his character is sitting in a big pool of glowing green blood.
As for the netgun-to-the-wall “teleport” as he writes in the videoclip. The Predator hits him with the net when he’s like 2-3m away from the gate he gets attached to, once he gets out of the net he appears at his original location(where the net first hit him) and it’s a bug.
What actually surprises me the most about this thread is that Aihrui, who has been around for a long while here in the game, doesn’t seem to be able to judge whether cheats are used or not in an obvious “Git-Gud” videoclip like this one. Instead she keeps the suspicions up running for this thread, i mean, how can you not see all of the Predator’s mistakes in this? it’s almost as if you haven’t learned much on the way.
At 2:55 you just stood still and used thermal. Your eyes glow yellow and its very easy to see you then.
At 6:00 its just lag and the tracking of the wristblades
if they were cheaters you would have died lol
Pretty sure Russians aren’t a race it’s a nationality. Is it biased/discriminatory yes, racist no.
I have to agree that I maybe should stay out of stuff like this. Haven’t been a gamer for long, most of my early game experiences are on the Nintendo. So, I’m not familiar with hack or cheats on PC. So, yeah. I will stay out of this in the future to avoid mistakes that could cause confusion instead of clarification.
Not to mention I sometimes do mistakes a Predator and Fireteam as well. Nobody’s perfect and mistakes make us all human.
No worries. I get jokes and I maybe totally have phrased my sentence wrong.
Rather should have said that some players use low graphic details and not specifically a nationality.
I didn’t mean to sound discriminative.
Next time I will phrase stuff like this differently.
It’s all good you don’t have to explain yourself to me. I’m just making the distinction as I personally do not care enough to get offended on someone else’s behalf but I’d rather clear that tidbit up.
No need! I love when ppl go full blown racist XDDDDDDDD
Just Joking ;-)

I appreciate your response and opinion, especially not sounding like a condescending jerk towards me, compare to most of the folks here. Thanks.
