Could you be banned for playing Singleplayer with cheats? (Without the stupid Anti-Cheat ofc)

Hiya

I was just wondering; if i use a cheat menu in singleplayer (For example Rampage) could i be banned from discussions/multiplayer?

the anticheat is only active when you are playing online, that should explain things for you

Nope. You are wrong. BattlEye still runs by default, for single player.

Open the Rockstar Launcher. Log in to your account. Go to Settings. Uncheck the box next to “BattlEye” to disable it. Close the launcher and launch GTA 5 as usual. You won't be banned anywhere, for cheating in single player.

I already know bout the disabling battle eye thingy. Hence the "(Without the stupid Anti-Cheat ofc)" in the title. Though thanks for lettin' me know i can't be banned without it on. Helped my paranoia.

What 'appens then? (Like actual question)

It’s basically the same as modding. So, just play offline with battle eye disabled.

If enough people start playing a modded single player over online then I wouldn't put it past Rockstar to start banning players for modding single player.

We are talking about a company that has legally gone after single player mods that added the so called "free" content to single player, using the bogus lie that it would stop cheating despite the fact that the mod in question did not work in online mode.

Lets be totally fair here. They do ban cheaters, but only after allowing them to play and cheat for hundreds of hours. This greatly increases the chances that the banned cheater will purchase a new copy to continue cheating on a new account.

Cheaters buying new copies to continue cheating is the reason GTAV sales have remained consistently high year after year. Any time they need a bump in sales, they just toss out some bans.

You my good sir are a complete genius, this actually makes complete and utter sense! Why else would they do random ban waves out of the blue only to stop them and continue to let cheats fester? And also it makes sense that - in the last year before VI's release - that they'd release an anti-cheat to "combat" cheaters. Simply to make themselves look good to their paying customers.

Epic giving the game away years ago without any bot protection in place is when cheating really accelerated. Would love to see the numbers on how many hundreds of thousands of free copies Epic gave away.
