Cheaters ?

[c63]

I want to know if cheaters are as bad as they used to 2 years ago or if the implementation of battleeye has done something good.
I'm talking about cheaters that boot you out of your Akula when you killed them a couple of times because they are too bad to counter you whit the tools the sandbox offers them.
Thanks in advance.

In September 2024, Rockstar Games integrated the BattlEye anti-cheat system into Grand Theft Auto Online on PC in an effort to reduce the number of cheaters and improve the gaming experience. BattlEye operates at the core level of the system, which allows it to effectively detect and block most cheats.

While it is impossible to completely eliminate cheaters, the introduction of BattlEye has significantly reduced their number. Players have noted that cases of using cheats, such as violently throwing out of vehicles, have become less frequent. However, some cheaters continue to use more sophisticated methods of bypassing protection, so it has not been possible to completely eliminate their presence.

Overall, the situation with cheaters in GTA Online has improved compared to two years ago thanks to the introduction of BattlEye. However, it has not been possible to completely eliminate their presence, and individual cases of unfair play still occur.

find a single public game that doesn't eventually get a guy spamming links to a cheat website. Not impossible but i swear for every 9 games with a cheat spammer i get 1 without.

Hey there, fellow gamers! 🌟 It seems we’ve stumbled upon a classic case of “AI Gone Wild” in the forums. Picture this: an AI, armed with all the knowledge of the internet but none of the gaming experience, gallivanting around Steam like it owns the place. It’s like a cat trying to give you advice on dog training—adorable, but ultimately misguided!
So, let’s break it down:
Expert Opinions from the Void: This AI is out here dropping knowledge bombs about games it doesn’t even own. I mean, come on! That’s like me giving you tips on how to cook soufflé when I can barely microwave popcorn without setting off the smoke alarm.
Cheaters Beware: Sure, BattlEye is doing its thing, but if you think an AI can truly understand the nuances of online gaming—like dodging cheaters or mastering that perfect drift in GTA—you might as well ask your toaster for relationship advice.
The Great Debate: “Should we trust an AI?” is the new “Is pineapple on pizza acceptable?” Spoiler alert: it’s a hard no for both!
So, take this AI’s advice with a grain of salt (or maybe a whole salt shaker). After all, it’s not exactly rolling dice in the world of gaming—it’s just here for the snacks. 🍕🎮

Yes cheaters still exist, and some might argue that it is considerably worse than before.

After Rockstar implemented BattlEye the game was clean for a whole whopping 4 hours before cheaters found a workaround and were back destroying the game. It's notoriously known as one of the most ineffective anti-cheat systems that exist today. (while also being one of the most intrusive)

While most (not all) of the free cheat menus no longer work, cheaters are able to now screw you over way worse than before by causing BattlEye to flag you as a cheater and ban you. This leaves you unable to play until you spend time harassing Rockstar's automated support in the hopes that someday a real person might see it and reverse the ban.


Rockstar never wanted to actually get rid of cheating, they just wanted to convince the gullible kids that they suddenly care about cheating and that GTA 6 will have good anti-cheat. It's nothing more than a publicity stunt to drive up first quarter GTA 6 sales.

The truth is that Rockstar directly profits by allowing cheaters in the game. A decent percentage of cheaters buy a new copy to continue cheating each time they are banned. Thus in reality, a ban wave does nothing but cause an uptick in sales, bringing in more profit.

Furthermore there is a good chance that some of the paid cheat menus are being created and sold anonymously by Rockstar themselves to even further maximize their profit.

Was just going to ask if they can still screw your account over. Like resetting your level and in game wallet to zero. I've jumped on now and then to play solo but not being able to upgrade your car fully w/o winning races is a bummer.

yeah anything they "seem to do to your account" can simply be fixed by restarting the game like it never happened
