can I get banned if one of my teammates is using cheats?

[M_T2113]

So I was doing a raid in a public team when the Mole Miner in the Ultragenetic Horde got glitched and stuck so one of the players teleported us to the Ultracite Terror.At the time I didn't think much of it,maybe he had a checkpoint or something,but as time went on I became more suspicious of him cheating,so that brings me back to my original question.IF he was cheating could I get banned?
Edit:I did sorta encourage the player and that's why i'm worried because from other games I've played I have or have witnessed people being banned for encouraging cheating

When you go into the Raid, the team leader holds the progress. When they take the lead and go back in, it jumps them to the start of the next combat.

So, if player one is leader and you've got a stuck mob. They change leader, it kicks you out of the raid. New player then enters the raid and you start where they left off.

^ that's way more applicable, lol. I'll delete my comment eventually as it's only vaguely relevant.

Being cognizant of cheating and how that may impact your future in the game is always important though.

It's also important to note that the objective to clear the ultragenetic horde was still active during the Ultracie Terror boss fight and the team leader stayed the same

Hey, don't sweat it but try to avoid interactions like that as much as possible. This was pretty disconcerting, and I'm not sure on the details but neither that player nor myself have had any sort of negative consequence in something on five years running since then. Pretty sure he's not playing anymore, though.

If your friends/online groups swing this way I'd say just record your play sessions for your own safety, so if anything does come up later you can send recordings showing that it was not you. I don't think you have to worry too much so far as confusion there unless you've let the players download or physically install something on your rig. You can always provide yourself a small safety net.

I wasn't playing with any friends just a random team

Stage 1 - Players can photomode the door
Stage 2 - Has to be completed
Stage 3 - Players can photomode the door
Stage 4 - Players can photomode the door
Stage 5 - Has to be completed

Its not unheard of for someone just photomode glitch through stage 4

100% the guy who skipped it did that

Edit: I should clarify he used a minor glitch to allow his character to bypass a locked door

This has existed since the game launched and tonnes of players use it when they launch nukes (well now they use a no door mod which is out and out cheating)

Bugfesta hasn't ever punished any of the hundreds of thousands of unique players who have done this while launching nukes

I seriously doubt they'd punish a random teammate because someone else did

Thanks,I didn't know this exploit existed up until this point

Laying the paper trail to shift blame onto your team mates, we see what ur up to you no good commie. I had my suspicions when nobody was the commie when we played catch the commie, also that time you brought those tortilla chips and salsa to the thing. The jig is up buster, we don't cotton to no sneaky commies and their sneaky commie ways here in Appalachia

[Mr.Pessimism]

so i am gonna say no. but i am gonna say maybe you should. because i am bit of a bastard.

They wouldn't ban this. Without this exploit some quests are impossible. I know one quest where you have to get to the treasury room. The door with slid is bug out and you can't enter it without using photo mode.

Outright cheat. 100 percent there are. 3rd party cheat 1 shot kill. Power Armor skip door. Skip stage 2. I only encounter 1.

Last night had a guy with a full auto 5mm hand crank Gatling killing the snake and robot boss in under 6 seconds solo. This was suppose to be fixed both in and out of power armor but it was so hard to walk away from since all that loot is so hard to come by.

[NecroMaster]

These kinds of situations are extremely iffy.

If you are playing with him knowing he is using cheats and the devs can prove you knew then they will have adequate cause to ban you.

Because you are capitalizing on his cheating in that scenario if you are actively playing with him.

I’d cut ties with him for the safety of your account the longer you play with him the more you risk a ban.

At this point cheating and exploiting is so common place in this game it'd be difficult to imagine Bethesda doing anything about it without losing a major chunk of their players.

I deplore cheating and avoid it, but all you have to do is look at any non-Bethesda run forum or YouTube to see how openly it's discussed and tolerated by the player base. No other game I've ever seen would be this 'cool' with it...

Let's face it, Bethesda provides a bug filled game and the players 'fight back' with exploits in breach of EULAs and ToS which should result in bans, but don't. Even if you report someone the onus is on you as the reporter to prove a breach occured, despite how 'common knowledge' lots of these exploits are...

A bad company providing a bad product ends up with people enjoying the exploitation as it gives them that power fantasy of being rewarded for doing something wrong.

Really?I honestly haven't noticed much cheating in the servers I play in,or do they use some lite cheats that aren't to noticeable?
