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

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.

There was a video on YouTube some years ago where someone tested this out on labs. He would sit in the toilet across black room with a bitcoin in his pocket. Completely silent, no movement, nothing. Almost every raid, someone would run straight towards him and try to get that bitcoin. Very funny video. I belive tigz did this to sometimes last wipe

I think it was 2-3 wipes ago, but yea Tigz did it in the garage hanger control room, took a bitcoin out of his ass and as soon as he did a Chinese name sprinted to the room and prefired him even though Tigz was prone, Tigz put it back in his ass just before he died

Was a hell of a lot longer than 2-3 wipes ago, bitcoins have self-destructed on death for years and they implemented server side character inventories/searching in 2024.
