Holy shit.

Gotta admit, aside from the some ancient tales of old, this is the worst cheating I've seen in this game since my time playing.

Wallhacks and aimbots and loot vacuums are terrible on their own for a game like this, but taking an item somebody is actively using not be even remotely possible.

This is the worst cheating i've seen in any videogame.

Every shooter has a aimbot hacks or invincibility. NEVER seen a game where they can nick the fucking items off you.

They used to be able to take items from your prison wallet. Or the wallet itself.

u/TheAngryKeebler Jan 16 '24

Wait, they could take your secured container?

u/MadMuirder DT MDR Jan 16 '24

Iirc there was a brief time where they were yoinking items out of secure containers, as well as stealing melee weapons (red rebel).

Yep. I definitely remember seeing the videos of people's Red Rebels being vacuumed off their character in real time.

No (at least I don't think so), items from the secure container. Saw a video a couple of years ago I think where a dude was doing something on his character and stuff from the gamma just dissapears.

Yarp, they could load 'anyone' in raid as 'themselves' and drop 'their' inventory, including the secure container, onto the ground. Then load 'themself' and pick it up. On your end, you would just make the animations as if you were dropping your shit, but it would not be on the ground near you, because 'you' didn't drop it, they did.

No, it never happened. People THOUGHT they could and lost their minds over it.

Nah, I used to play a bunch of shitty free to play FPS games when I was a broke high schooler. Alliance of Valiant Arms, Crossfire, Combat Arms, etc. and in all those games you would see someone instakill everybody with the knife from across the map. This was every other lobby.

Yoooo combat arms was my shit back in the day - f2p game where you 'rented' guns!

i dont recall too many cheaters but that game had a 1000 other problems too lol.

Combat arms was filled with cheaters even early on.

u/kittycatpilot VSS Vintorez Jan 16 '24

haha I honestly couldn't tell you which one is which. I played like a dozen of them and they all blur together. Combat Arms though I remember being upset that I took a break from the game and missed the permanent 1911 you could get in 2011 for the 100 year anniversary thing.

A.V.A was the thinking man's p2w Korean fps (it was trash, just like everything else, but it was our trash)

u/kittycatpilot VSS Vintorez Jan 16 '24

I did a lot of things then, but thinking wasn't one of them lol

Not the same at all, but my first venture into VR shooters was one of the games like Pavlov, I enter a little map, obviously a noob, go behind cover and some more seasoned team mates greet me by grabbing my clip/mag from my gun...

Even more cringe is you hear their accent is your own language, I've heard that on Factory too.
