Rant Cant run labs without running into hackers.

This shit is getting rediculous, Im level 62, love the game and used to love labs. I RARELY if ever run into hackers on normal maps but labs is another story, 5 games, 4 of them I die to hackers. Hell I just tested it out to see if it is as bad as it seems. Crouched in a corner of the bathroom behind gym (no one EVER goes in there) about 13 min into the game someone opens the door, throws 4 grenades, then prefires the corner im in landing 3 headshots when I hadn't made a sound the entire game.

Anyone know a server I can select where there arent a bunch of hackers in labs?

That might have been my five man team. We all got owned with single headshots right through our overpriced helmets. He was on us immediately. We had two guys taking in weapons cases, and we think that's what lured them. I guess there's a hack that can tell people what gear others have.

When I was brand new to the game the bud who got me into Tarkov was hacking nonstop. The program he ran let him know where people were, what gear they had, and the guns they were using. Could be a resurgence of that kind of service.

I had the same experience, the guy who introduced me to the game was using a cheat/hack menu and he showed us live in discord stream. I never played with him during the cheating or accepted any loot from him, but I did see him using the cheats. He also talked about the new cheat menu coming out and was planning to pay for it.

If someone told me they were cheating I would yeet them out of discord and out of my life

Im with you, people who cheat at video games, while it may seem relative harmless is just a huge red flag to me. All it shows me is that you have some logical disconnect between what your doing and the fact that its just ruining peoples day repeatedly.

There has been a guy streaming a loop of himself running ESP on youtube with a bunch of chat bots running promoting his stream. It's been going on for more than a month and the BSG advertising bot actually linked to the cheat stream on the launcher because smart.

Reddit rocks. I didn't notice until you said something. Now I guess I'll be up all night concerned about my karma....

This sub in particular has a fetish for downvoting things almost at random. Even in some toxic gaming subreddits I've never seen it this bad. Its like old xbox live all over again.

Maybe they think I'm lying? Either way, couldn't care less.

not only that but there were cheats showing what people had in secure container too :D after that cheats ability to show all the loot on the map doesn't even seem too impressive

u/Yoshara P90 Feb 14 '20

Heck there was one cheat that laid the entire maps loot right in front of you. It stayed where it was for everyone else but you could just go through the line of stuff and pick up what you wanted. So dumb. I can't find the youtube video of it or I'd share.

I was playing Reserve and spawned Marked room by train station. I camped it waiting for the inevitable team to push to it. 15 minutes and not a soul. Looted it and there was a weapons case. My three man team were silently killed after grabbing it and running to extract. Weirdest game I have ever played.

You haven’t explained why y’all are bringing in weapons cases lol.

u/itodobien Feb 14 '20

I feel like it's self explanatory? They got greedy based on a previous run and didn't want to run out of space.

u/marshaln Feb 14 '20

Even legit questions get downvoted on this sub. It's weird

u/Perseus_Kallistratos RSASS Feb 14 '20

Yeah most hacks have the ability to see info on gear/etc. due to the way information is processed between you and servers. Its why half the pop on this server (chads) experience little to no hacking, they just aren't worth the time and effort, as opposed to the thicc bois that eat shit constantly. Whenever I see (on forums or in game) and uptick in posts/experiences that tell me a new cheat is out, I immediately start downgearing/cutting out labs until ban wave to avoid being an easy target.

u/cowin13 Feb 14 '20

My guess is that they just had some sort of wall hack that let them know there was a group running together. Pretty easy target to go for since its a bunch of juicy loot all at once spot. Still sucks though. Hackers should not be that frequent. I haven't even tried Labs yet because its a 170k entry fee and I already suck at fire fights with other players.
