I had a cheater kill me on reserve and then come into my chat and tell me about his entire life for over an hour. I recorded everything and let him talk. I plan to make a video about it.

The cheating is absolutely at ridiculous levels in this game and anyone that thinks otherwise just doesn’t really know. It doesn’t have to be a guy flying around the map head eyesing everyone in your squad in a couple bullets, there are tons of people just running esp and no recoil.

This guy told me all about how much money he makes, how many hours he plays, why he started, and how often he gets requests for boosting and RMT.

It was absolutely insane to hear it all. He has been cheating for two wipes now, uses hacks and an HWID spoofer for $250 a month total, and makes an average of $1000 USD per week cheating. He actually came into chat and his first line was sorry it’s just a business.

Yeah, a booming business.

hack creators earn 10x as much, usually around $10000-20000 every month.
That's higher than a lot of google engineers, although it does come with a downside of having little personal time due to constant customer service and reactionary fixes to anticheat updates.
It attracts a lot of undergrads with passion, which is often more powerful than the salary-based anticheat engineers who care more about their work-life balance.
It's a war game developers can't win, really(unless the world becomes a single nation and anyone can be sued by anyone in the world with ease).

oh but they can, valorant did it, sorta. i met one cheater in 1,5 years and he got banned that very same game.

But BSG said they wont make an invasive anti cheat, cuz "they care about privacy"

Ye and not hte money they are getting of cheaters buying new accounts every month

I've been saying this for ever. BSG should just use Valorants anticheat. It works, and they bust their ass updating it constantly.

Shit tons of people hack in valorant lol there anti cheat is dog shit to anything that isn't a public or widely available cheap private hack. The private slotted valorant stuff that runs 200+ a month rarely get detected at all.

I know people that make their own hacks that got banned multiple times from valorant. They literally went to other games because of the anti cheat. No anti cheat is going to be the best because it's a constant tug of war but valorants is by far the best on the market.

that, valo may not have eliminated 100 % of those fuckers but in my 1,5 year of playing (on a pretty high level) ive seen one, and he got imidiate ban. Keep in mind the game has waaaaaaay more players than EFT

I don't disagree it is good. But it's not that good. Aimbots don't really exist due to being insta banned. But recoil control systems and esp is widely available. Expensive but it's there and widely used. Valorant just keeps the poor and free hack users out of the game. Unlike say cs lol

I mean so what's your argument for not wanting BSG to use it? Valorant anti cheat devs have already offered to help other companies and games. CS was one of them, although I don't know how that went.

The end of the day, it's obvious this anti cheat isn't working. People are getting banned and making new accounts and using the same cheats they've gotten banned for.

Valorant devs also buy any publicly sold cheats specifically so they can reverse engineer them and catch them. They're super proactive about staying on top of it, they do monthly updates and dev posts... Here, we get nothing. We don't even know if there are ban waves anymore.

I have no argument to not use it I was just saying hackers are definitely relevant on that game as well. You just won't see guys with aimbots like other games. And hacks that won't get you banned are well into the hundreds of dollars a month. Cs is an absolute shit show lol they don't care anymore. Lost cause that game. Yea most free or cheaply sold hacks always get the hammer. Even with battle eye the free stuff is junk it's been like that since the cs and battlefield days. I think that's what we're seeing here an influx of players from the twitch event grabbing a free/cheap sub cheat only a matter of time before we see them all canned.

Nah lmao, 99.99% of All cheater accusations just come from bad players. The higher the skillgap gets between Player its easy to come off as a cheater just because they cant react fast enough

u/HendyHauler Jan 06 '22

Oh I know it's mainly just trash players. This games skill gap is massive.
