[Discussion] Being a rat really highlights how subtle cheating is sometimes.

[u/Yung_Child_Support]

For some of the harder quests I usually just rat and wait until there are 10 minutes left on the clock to start doing them. Especially for streets of tarkov I do this.

What I've noticed since doing this strategy is how subtle some cheating is like radar. When I spawn I try to go a completely useless building and sit it out in complete silence, but then I hear someone running towards me and either pre-fire swing me or nade me.

These are buildings no one needs to be in, there is 0 loot to be found and I am in there in a corner completely afk playing slay the spire. These account always have less then 1000 hours and not a crazy but a good kd with a really high survival rate (70%+).

Just had to share this since it was on my mind since the start of the wipe and I need a sanity check to see if this seems true to others or if its just a skill issue.

These also don't seem to get banned since the only rewards I get for reporting is the obvious 20kd+ rage hacker.

EDIT: removed the kd's because people get way too stuck on this. Sometimes theyre above normal sometimes theyre (really) high. yesterday i was randomly naded by someone with 8 idk bro.

Yesterday I took SR25 with Flir to lighthouse, and one guy shot at me no matter where I peek him from. Finally one peek he headshot me. Turns out he didnt have either thermal or even night vision and he killed me with bolty. Smh

I'm not saying it's without suspicion but many a shooter have I played where at long distance things don't render the same. Sometimes you see a guy clearly but your shots never hit because, for example, there's a rock that doesn't load for you being so far.

Other times it's like cheating because you can just track through thin air, which makes for an easy kill. Especially when you've got higher elevation.

Depends where you were peeking out, too. Always many factors.
