I though he was trying to say that it’s annoying cans cumbersome to stop macros from being used at their end.
If I’m incorrect, it seems the use of macros is not frowned upon by illfonic
There are groups of players with knowledge of programs and other devices to cheat in P.H.G.

I think there is confusion. Normally, in FPS games, macros are not helpful. They’re usually helpful in MOBAs and MMOs, where abilities are structured around timing. In FPS games, it’s more aiming, reaction, and so on. Macros will often make things worse, as they force actions that may not have situational ability and can cause deaths while activating. Aim bots, chams, and the such are much more problematic for FPS games. But we are constantly looking at player feedback and are aware of some ways that macros can make the game not fun for other players.

is it fixed in the upcoming patch?
Ah ok . I get what you are saying .
Macros make things worse? Like rapid fire? Escaping the net? Cancelling animations? Isnt there macros to reduce recoil in fps games?
All this time I thought people were cheating on pc , but they were just trying to give console players a better chance at winning 🙄
Anyway , thanks for the response, its genuinly appreciated
Double lol
Its ok dan , you can come out from under the bed now , macros are safe!

BAN HIM! *oops too soon!
kidding…Couriers response to macros sounded legit. As if he didn’t take the response from something like “Saved Game Hacks” and swap it with the word “macros”.
Unless you are messaging me for help with the velcro on your handicapped shoes? Save your time 👍🏻
are they made out of wood?
People use macros in FPS’s because macros are trash duh.
Everyone knows you empty the entire clip if you use a turbo button so theyre pointless and theres absolutely nothing in between /s
But really, Seems to be trying to say macros are too hard to detect regardless because its hardware so theyll just nerf whatevers being macro’d which isnt surprising but it sucks for people that can tap while aiming without third party assistance because the fire rate on their guns have to be nerfed into the ground & be cumbersome and terrible.
Oh yeah and aim bots are worse than macros because obviously.

Yeah , at this point nothing around the game really matters anyway
I’ve been using a netgun macro since the game came out. They said they fixed it. They did not. I reported it. Said it was still doable. Even suggested getting rid of the “mini-game” and make just a flat out timed interaction. They did not listen. It literally took for me to blatantly say I was exploiting them and for a lot of people to get salty for it for them to actually acknowledge it and consider doing something about it.
YOU ARE WELCOME
About the Grimtech, also suggested lowering the fire-rate (and seems like the 1011 is also exploitable but doesn’t work on my PC, so, who knows). Here’s hoping they do something about it too.
Regardless, at the current state, the game is still broken as hell. Specializations were added to aid potatoes and give them a better chance of survival, yet 90% of the time they don’t use them. And half the time when they do use them, they do a braindead combo like assault-deadly with a sniper rifle. Or unleashed without explosives.
They need to come up with better ideas for balancing the gameplay for everyone, and that will require analysis on players win-rate/damage-rate and adjusting levels to an even playing field. Otherwise, game will always be broken for veterans or potatoes.
technically yes, but really no.
recoil compensating scripts have to be made literally for each weapon, because no two weapons have the same recoil pattern. Spray pattern also has to be taken into consideration, specially with hipfire. I don’t know to what extent the spray pattern on this game is random, but from what I’ve seen, it is pretty random. Programing a macro, which is not an invasive hack and is hardware based, to compensate for a random recoil-spray pattern, although achievable, may not be practical and unlikely work 100% of the time.
There is a melee bug I have documented where the middle click stops working. I have video including input overlays as well as a voice over description on how to replicate it. If you need this info please let me know and I will share for you guys to take a look at it.
And additionally, we already have this totally easy and legit option of just using the Perk “Weapon Training”, that gives you near to no recoil on some weapons.
Even if so many macros would be possible, using the Netgun Macro while moving around (Standing still you can achieve the same speed manually) and Rapid Fire Macro are really the only ones that have an impact on the FT Gameplay.
Everything else already needs good skill to use it, and then automatically becomes superfluous.
Also… can you please make up your mind?
Cheating is generally considered using anything outside the game to gain an unfair advantage.
If turbo buttons or macros that enable rapid fire are useless/pointless/trash etc. why do you consider them cheating then? Where is the advantage?
Man that weapon’s training perk I honestly don’t feel any difference with it. Like really. Same with hipfire accuracy. I feel a lot of perks are really just placebo effects. LMAO
Hugely depends on the weapons IMHO.
Try it with the G-ROW and it becomes awesome.
It was also totally op on the Hammerhead until they nerfed it, Raggy and I used it a lot cause it gave you laser accuracy with it.
I think the hammerhead, as well as the qr-4 and mercenary have laser accuracy as they are, LOL

I don’t know how I couldve made that any more obvious it was sarcasm.
“People use macros in FPSes because theyre pointless duh”
Of course its cheating you’re automating inputs.
Yes, yes its very unheard of bypassing recoil by implementing an autoclicker with down-movement based on recoil amount. No one would do such a thing.
Also sarcasm.
And lol at the “i only used net macro so devs knew it existed and would nerf the nets for everyone!”
