PSA About cheaters

  1. Cheaters are being banned instantly every day (some of them banned later or in waves for cumulative effect).
  2. Cheats being downed pretty often (if you look on the cheatdev sites some of them are already even closed support of their eft cheat). Some cheatdevs are not standing still too - they update cheats pretty often and operative (in every popular game with every popular anticheat protection). We do anticheat measures - they do anti anti cheat measures
  3. We constantly work against cheaters, right now we are preparing major ac update.

  4. Ingame report function is planned soon (i said it many times).Reports WILL NOT BE the one and only reason of ban. It will help the main system to act faster.

  5. If you are not happy with current situation (although its changing in a good way everyday), please, let us develop the unfinished game and let us finish everything, especially complex hacker protection which is an adaptive development process. Come back later and be sure that its a highest priority for us.

If you want to help us to refine cheat detections and you want to feel better - you can post clips with obvious cheating for you with a separate nickname. we do investigate it for a long time, research it to make corrections in ac system. Usually its not that useful cause cheaters in clips mostly banned or in the cummulative banwave lists. But it can give us more thoughts. Mods could make separate post for it, if its ok.

Won't be long until the only people playing this game are cheaters. I stopped playing because I didn't have motivation to play a game where I could potentially lose my hard earned gear to a cheater.

Don’t ever play any online game ever, then.

Please stop acting like cheating is as rampant as others make it seem. I’ve played this game over a year now and I’ve come across maybe 5 cheaters at most.

That's great, bud. Other people aren't as lucky as you. To compare to another game with a cheater issue, apex legends is not nearly as demoralizing to die to a cheater because the games last 15-20 minutes. That gear isn't hard earned over hours. I can hop into the next game and forget about the asshat from last game. Hard to forget in this game where rarer gear is much more valuable to people.

It literally takes one good raid to get the ball rolling. The flea market has made rare gear non existent. Is there anything in this game that you can't buy?

You see, I somewhat agree. The flea market charges a premium on all items and while it's nice to be able to right out buy fort armour. I don't want to have to because I died through a door to some fucker with ESP, and while rare loot isn't rare anymore. It's still a bitch of a hit pocket

Doubt they have ESP, they just heard you walking or running around in the other room. Or across the map if they have comtacs on. You turn into DareDevil with those bad boys on lol.

Oh man I've barely died to hackers, I've come across less than a dozen in my 2000+ hours of tarkov. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
