Anti cheat?
Any anti cheat in place?

All critical game functions are controlled by the server. Somebody will probably make ESP hacks but you won’t see infinite health or rapid fire rifles. This design has pros and cons but it’s good against cheats.
Thank you for the response. I think ESP is pretty damaging in a pvp multiplayer shooter unfortunately.

Honestly in a 3rd person game where you can see pretty high already I wouldn’t think so. The time to kill and respawn is fast anyway. It’s just the unfortunate reality of how games work. It’s a client side function. Barring installing some super aggressive anticheat software it’s one of the few things we can’t force with the server.

With how combat is and how many players there are, i dont think it would be useful


but as Copot said, the main stuff are controlled by the server.
I appreciate it, and I know nothing is always effective. Anyone who played ArmA with Battleye probably remembers some really blatant stuff that I imagine wasn't all server controlled like spawning bombs.

Wouldn't aimbot also be a client side cheat though? Just seems like it puts a lot of trust in a historically untrustworthy gaming population.

Yes but the guns are inaccurate enough to where it doesn’t really matter. Accuracy is still server controlled so you won’t have any players strafe headshotting cross map.

(The bots are sometimes evil though and they will hurt you)
Cool. I don't think I was really wrapping my head around how server controlled it was. Thanks again. I'll put it on the wishlist!

Get it, it's fun as hell.
so servers have admins? im curious is it due to overheads why no anticheat is implemented?

Yes we exist.

And couple of reasons. The architecture of the game protects all the critical functions. Anti cheat also adds overhead and operational complexity on top of the workload for a team with only 4 devs. The only “effective” anti cheat systems would require installing very intrusive software on our players systems. The benefits are not worth the trade offs for the design of the game. We might stop some red outline boxes in exchange for lowering our supported player count. And like I said before the benefits of cheating in a game like this are basically zero. You will die too fast.

Bro nobody cares about rapid fire or w/e, ESP is the most damaging hack to any game. Wish I read this before buying now I cant refund. The game already has a cheating issue and there are little to no admins that I've seen in the game or anyone doing anything about it. So GG you got my 16$. Now I feel scammed.

Like who doesn't put a normal anti cheat on a shooting game? even valve uses VAC who isnt kernel but still detects and bans people. This game gonna be more plagued with cheaters then CS2 as times goes on. I might as well hack myself cause you clearly don't care if we do.

in a game like this esp really wouldn't even hurt anything. does it suck? sure. BUT you cant exactly run across the map to gun down 1 guy behind a trench that you picked out because you will more than likely die on your way there anyways. plus your enemies can be called out and you can see little red diamonds literally right on top of them. i've killed a few just shooting right below the diamond just hoping to hit something lol. and for this to be "more plagued" with cheaters than CS2, it would literally have to have a pop of over 1 million players daily. and IT SHOULD BECAUSE ITS THE BEST GAME EVER MADE.. but sadly idiots don't like good games anymore so that doesn't look to be likely. If you are refunding THIS game because it hasn't implemented anti cheat, sorry to tell you but you're missing out on one hell of a good time regardless.
