Hackers/ cheaters online
Is there a way to get hackers/ cheaters blocked or kicked from games?

I'm soooo sick of this. Every online game now has some absolute sad act cheating and it just ruins the game for everyone.

Any help greatly appreciated... it's fun playing online with people that want to play. I don't get what cheaters get out of it, but it must be a very, very shallow and sad life...too bad they don't just choke on their own tongue or something!

Steam does not handle cheating reports for Doom (2016).

Your only real option is to record the cheating and submit to Bethesda support directly.

There are a lot of cheaters, but it also should be noted - and no offense to you - that to new players, a seasoned D16 player with their swaps and timing down may appear to be a cheater, depending on your experience level.

A properly executed dual shotgun or static/shotgun swap can do about 130-150 damage in under two seconds - more combined with something like the Tesla rocket. There are several other swap combos that can come close to matching that as well.

On top of that, due to the way Doom handles lag compensation, laggy players may see all of their hits stack up all at once when the server syncs, creating the illusion of an instant kill.

Again, there are tons of cheaters, playing almost constantly, but not everyone who can instakill you is automatically a cheater.

I get it, Though lots of the regulars who've been there and have the '16 badge I've played with a lot, some are just very skilled but THESE cheater I've reported were RUNNING! Including when they turn into DEMONS they were moving 3x faster if not more than any player.
For Example in Doom Eternal there's DASHING but its not available in Doom '16 but these Cheaters where Dashing non-stop.

I know some of your friends that you have in your profile... Anybody that's played Doom multiplayer has encounter them, and believe me it WAS NOT THEM. It was not even Beto.Mata

Gotcha - yeah like I said there are tons of real cheaters, and it sucks.

The only real thing to do, as I said, is report to Bethesda, but I don't think they actively follow up on reports these days. If they ever did.

I swear we were in a game together, and yeah, those absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that can somehow move extremely fast and it's 100% a hack. I'm not the kind of guy to get salty over someone being better than me at a game, that's called skill, but hackers? ♥♥♥♥ them. I even heard one of them on voice chat saying how much he loved cheating. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ piece of ♥♥♥♥.

You should actually feel really sad for those people. They have to cheat in video games, because it's the only way they can feel not weak like they do in the physical reality.

I would bud, but when we have to work and pay for these games to enjoy in our leisure time, cheats and hackers just make me want to KILLLLLLLLLL :chainsaw:
