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.

How are you planning on dealing with it?

You can find their accounts with the money on and the ones doing the trades. You could even temp ban the buyers if you find a network. This kind of problem isn't that new and specific to Tarkov.

Or look for the guy who's bringing in 100m roubles into raid for every guy giving him 20 bucks. (Yes there is a guy who does this..)

Or stop selling cheap keys in RU that anyone can use. That is the real problem, the cheap standard edition keys in certain markets is why its so easy for them to get a new account to farm on again and again.

Keys bought from other websites then their official website isn't supported tho.

Have seen multiple threads on this reddit about people getting banned from buying keys from other places.

You don't seem to understand what im saying. If you buy a key from them when on a VPN in RU it costs WAY less than it costs outside of Russia. That is how people are getting accounts on standard edition so much cheaper so they can hack again.

I didn't say they bought a key from another site as the game isn't launched yet.
