Anti-cheat? Bans?

[miji]

If I cheat ingame (cheat engine, memory editor, trainer, etc), will I get some sort of ban or something?
I don't feel like running through the game to finally play round 2, 3, etc.
Not interested in playing with strangers. Just a couple friends.

You can acualy cheat with out needing cheats.
All you need is unlimited ammo build for moze and a god roll lucky 7

Every good build takes time to... err... build. From gaining sufficient XP for the best skills, to finding the right weapon.

To answer the original question, no, there's no bans for cheating in Borderland games. Some people however may find it very annoying if you cheat when joining their multiplayer games.

If you wanna cheat, do it solo so that it doesn't ruin it for others.

Perfect! Thanks so much for the help. :D

i matchmake all the time with modded gear to test the waters. If the host and the others dont like it the host can literally kick you.

Not everyone wants to regrind an entire character through the entire campaign twice just to play the end-game content they actually wanted to play in the first place.

After you've joined, potentially ruining their session or worse (corrupting someone else's save).

And what waters are you testing? How long it takes people to notice? How annoyed people get? If someone thinks you're super cool bc of your 'rare' loot? Important stuff.

If you walk into a restaurant naked, they can literally ask you to leave. Go test those waters, you clever rogue. Civil behavior is for sheeple and adults.

You can't wreck anyone's saves, and saves are literally local, you can just back them up. There isn't even an account link to saves, you can use other peoples saves. Not the players fault, that the devs are lazy, greedy twits.

It was very much a thing in BL2. I don't know if it's been a known problem in 3, but even if not, after it was an issue in 2 it's reasonable for people to not want to get near it now.

, and saves are literally local, you can just back them up.

Previous guy said - 'well if I join your game with my cheats you can kick me'. You're now saying 'if cheaters do break your game, you could have backed it up'. So, what, non-cheaters are the odd ones, and should backup their saves every time they go online?

If someone sets fire to your house, it's fine because you could have an extinguisher and/or insurance, and anyway you can't burn down a whole house with a match, and the builders were greedy pricks. Amidoinitrite?

Really, what is unreasonable about saying that the vast majority of people are trying to play the game as designed, and if you don't want to, you shouldn't interfere with them (even if you think it's a harmless annoyance)?
If you're cheating solo, you may or may not be cheating yourself, but none of us need care. Do it in public, and you're cheating others.

There isn't even an account link to saves, you can use other peoples saves.

Not sure I see the problem here. Seems like that makes it easier to backup, restore, transfer (bw Epic and Steam, say). And sure, to cheat in certain ways - which is fine, as long as cheaters (and modders) stay solo, or play private / with people who agree to that.

I have seen a modded weapon from some guy who joined my session about a year ago it was hellwalker + flaker shotgun he was even one shoting graveward but some how i didnt even let him see any enemys at slaugter shaft with my legit build so he just bored and left.
Thats excaly how we should treat them. They are not better then any one.
Toght i have respect if ppl only giving them selfs eridium its litterly riddiculous to farm.

have you even played the game? what i mean with test the waters is to see if they are okey with it or not. some ppl are ok with it and sometimes even has modded gear themselfs and some are super anti modding.

And if they're not OK with it, how might they feel about you joining just to ask? Again - in BL2 it was possible for someone with cheat/mods to damage someone else's save just by joining. So, it wasn't just annoying to have cheaters/modders join, it was actually harmful (even though the modder, presumably, didn't intend to do damage). People who remember that might be justifiably concerned about the same thing in BL3.

Being a nudist in your home is up to you. You wouldn't walk into a random shop nude to 'test' if they're OK with it, would you? Maybe they are, maybe they're nudists too, maybe they'll say 'sorry not here, but no worries about popping in to ask' ... Or littering - be a slob in your own home, fine - litter in public until someone asks you to stop, not so fine.

Edit:
Years ago I played a game with PVP MP and dedicated servers. There were some 'cheats allowed' servers. It worked pretty well - *most* of the people who wanted to cheat went there, and left the vanilla servers alone. I wish more games would do something like that.

obviously you dont know what you are talking about. i have never heard of saves corrupting in bl3.
