You can get hacked in payday

[shid]

So i was playing in public server and some player started to argue with me, then he said he will freeze me. And then suddenly when i was pressing wasd nothing happened and my mouse was moving my weapon only across the screen and couldn't rotate. Later he unfreezed me and then made my game slowmo as if i was putting on a mask. He freezed me this way a few times, and then he was calling me ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and told everyone to kick me. Is there any way i can prevent this in the future? I was searching in the settings and option to turn off other players mods but didn't find it

Host your own games with anti cheat mods

its not a hack, he is sending game commands to you. There are mods that will prevent this and if you are hosting, you can also hit escape, go to player list, click their name, and hit "Ban".

You have to report it in Steam, I've done it before and it works

how do i report him? i saw this person's comments and it seems he's done it many times to other players and is really toxic

when you start your own lobby theres an option to disallow modded players from joining you on the right hand side list of options, above the difficulty choice. it should say "allow modded players" and its checked on by default. you have to disallow it everytime you start up a new lobby.
theres also an option in the filter on crimenet to block modded lobbies but i dont think it blocks normal lobbys that are allowing modded players.

There's two ways you can go about this

1) Host your own lobbies instead with the "kick cheaters automatically" feature turned on

OR

2)make sure to check which mods the host is running before joining a lobby so you can have an idea of what you're getting yourself into and not go in blind. If you see this person isn't playing fair or is just straight up griefing. JUST LEAVE, simple as that. Leave, don't waste your time on these people and move on.

Just for clarification, you will not get "hacked" in payday 2. Your personal information will not be compromised at least cheats don't go that far to this date despite the game using a P2P hosting system which is a bit concerning considering other games that use that system have had issues where players get their IPs leaked (unironically), however there will be people who just don't care about integrity and keeping a healthy or even fair enviroment and will blatantly cheat in front of others or try to ruin your experience by killing you, freezing you and such, but as i mentioned previously, all you have to do is leave.

Sadly Payday 2 nor it's predecessor have a VAC system or any sort of Anti-cheat system aside from the pointless "cheater" tag. So there's no way to get rid of them. Just avoid them, which can be done easily by just banning people from your lobbies in case you are hosting, never having to worry about them again.
