This cheating is starting to get to me.

I mean I was In metro..people always seem to know your exact location.My mic is off I ain't moving and the guy literally jumps RIGHT in front of me..no way he could have guessed.

nobody is cheating my guy.

Some people have their volume maxed, if it was a player ( unlikely) they probably heard you prior. It's VR for one and much more difficult to cheat in. you can't exactly aim bot. And since the community is much smaller than a normal game in flatscreen, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone developing cheats for it so no, walling or they'd get banned. it would get picked up right away by developers. Cheating in paid games isn't as common as free to play. People lose more money if they get banned than in free to play, where theres essentially limited or no consequence for doing it.

Since Vr game communities are generally smaller, there's no profit for cheat developers and no incentive to actually develop said cheats bud.

My guess is, you got plucked off by a scav npc, on the hardest map that has literal platoons of them crawling around, and are mad about it.

Scavs, do in fact have your exact location once you're near and WILL rush you even if you aren't moving, because they're extremely basic in their AI behavior trees right now.

No it was a player.He jumped down the stairs and got me under them.

There is cheating, but I've only seen a confirmed case one time; lag switching. I feel like I shouldn't even say this, but I'd rather the community knows what to look for.

If someone disconnects their internet momentarily and then rounds a corner to shoot you and then reconnects their internet then you will die without ever having seen the enemy. This was very commonly used in Tarkov a few years ago, specifically in Dorms where there has been hundreds of videos of people getting shot by no one.

Unless you get a video next time you think a player is cheating, we can't really take your word. Folks will get killed by scavs and complain the exact same in the discord, not realizing it's an npc. If it is a player, it'll tell you their tag. Report them on the screen immediately following death. The playerbase ain't huge. if they're cheating the devs will see and get to it.

VR or not VR, people are cheating in both, there is litteraly a youtuber that made videos for 1 year litteraly showing his cheat and exposing it in the title name, and it was aimbot hack so yes, it's exist even in VR !

The world is full of motherfker that need to cheat for playing, VR game is perfect to try to develop cheats because they are not really protected so it's mostly hacker who learn how to create script or who already know how to do it...

Yesterday I was fallen against a cheater, his name is like "lkQSdoliqzdjsq2025", he was just a scav player without armor and without helmet, my mate and me was litteraly destroying his ass with grenades and by shooting a lot on him, he was just comming close to us and shot my mates and me in the head without pression...

People cheat in pavlov and tabor, why not here?

[VR玩家N叔]

Yes there have been known cheaters in this game and devs have banned some of them in the past. But what you described might be just ultra good sweats who'd assume there's one player behind every corner.

there is a video on youtube posted a week ago clearly showing a cheater. I am not saying many people are using cheats or that it is even a huge problem (yet), but you can't say none are cheating, and here is verifiable proof for you.

There are other cheats out there, from flying, to being in the ground, to invisible... Some are less known than others, Not sure if there are wallhack cheats yet like op suggests.

[Battle Malice]

The cheating has been getting bad for the last 3 to 4 days. They need to fix it. Anyone out there saying there are no cheats is either cheating themselves or a fool. I had 3 really sus deaths the past 3 days and 10 questionable in the past week. I had a guy run from motel while one shooting scavs (in a full run non stop from hotel to villa), knew exactly where I was hiding in a dark room on 2nd floor vila, jumped through the door and while in the air did a 180 turn and head shot me when he should have never even known where I was ( I found a GPU so he must have seen it with loot ESP because as soon as I came into cheat range he ran right towards me). On a scav run I found a gold elephant was was sneaking past mall towards extract. Heard someone fighting scavs inside, so i hide waiting for it to stop so I can sneak by, suddenly a PMC in boss armor runs outside, knows exactly what connex I am in and is prefiring at my head as he rounds the corner. Guy yesterday on metro cleared the whole server with 1 shot kills, I was hiding in the sewer in the room next to the locked room, he start shooting at me from across the map because is ESP marked me and he didn't know I was behind a wall. Came in and headshot me even though I had not made a sound and he was upstairs when I hid in that spot because the shooting was very suspicious so I was just listening to him for 10 min going around and killing everything. One of the bigger VR cheater websites has Contractors showdown cheats running. It needs to be fixed before it dies. VR does not have the player base to allow cheating without killing the game.

I forget who's video I was watching but there was a dude who's literally invisible. And then when the dude went to report him you couldn't.

I hate the drop in clarity, but this is why I stick to the meta version.

Meta version is ridiculously fuzzy compared to PC. If it's fuzzy go into your Steam Link settings and adjust your resolution and bitrate, clears it right up.... as long as you have a good wifi connection that is.
