How to report hackers?
I just got this game from a friend for Christmas and was just starting out. I was in a poses with my friends and when we split up. I did a solo free roam trying to ride to my camp and hunted a few game along the way, on my way back I kept getting summon to this player's location WAY up north.

I thought it was a bug initially, but then it happened again a few minutes later. He then shot me and joked about in Chinese. When I accused him of hacking, he made me die over and over again in an explosion. Is there an in game mechanic for reporting hackers?

There were three players involved I was only able to get the name of two of them:
1. [removed]
2. [removed]

Is this common, because I will not want to play another Rockstar game ever if hackers are free to abuse the player base so freely

Rockstar allows hackers free roam on gtao and rdo. There is no anti-cheat in this or gtav don't believe anyone who says so. Then tend to mass ban hackers but since they don't have a anti-cheat they only ban people who edit online save data because they have no way of catching them besides that. Also they refuse to have dedicated servers which would remove most of this nonsense these people are abusing peer to peer acting like they are god hackers when they are just script kiddies.

Actually, there is an anti-cheat for GTA online though.

The problem is, they had to tone it back because it was picking up the steam FPS counter and OBS as cheats, banning players who had them running.

The problem is, they don't ever update their anti-cheat.

Rockstar doesn't use any anticheat idk why people think they do lol. Reason they had to tone down bans on gtao was because of hackers dropping money on everyone getting their accounts flagged.
