my friend told me we can edit the game files without getting banned, is this true? I don't want to risk anything.

You will get banned in public battles, playing with friends is a 50/50 situation.

so should we just make alt accounts or something?
also, do you know of any tutorials on how?

There's one file in the game that holds all the game numbers. Like Dart monkey pirece: one, eco boost: 250, Starting cash: 600. Though I don't know where it is. You can make alt accounts but you can get IP banned, so I don't recommend any modding at all.

I heard that modding is allowed though, Sam unbanned someone for accidentally modding on his main (I saw it on the discussions myself) and I don't see whats wrong with modding in a private match anyway

Well, I never modded before lul, I dunno about all of this, I'm just saying all the information I know.

Hello, everyone.
Since Sam isn't currently here to address your concerns, I'll say what I can say from experience.
These answers aren't from official moderation, so don't expect 100% authenticy.
Somethings will not put you in the pool, and somethings will put you in the pool.

Will modifying the game give you a VAC ban?
No. You'll be placed in the hacker pool and must appeal.
I modified one of the files in the game which allowed me to change whatever amount I wanted.

Did you do this in public battles? Private battles?
I wanted to see if what I modified worked, of course I wouldn't play this in public battles.
I spent money on a free game, folks. I played against myself using two devices.I ended up getting put in the hacker pool.

What happens when you tried to appeal?
Sam is a great representative & understanding person.
Hopefully Sam doens't have a problem with me sharing this email.

I sent an appeal saying something like this:
I tampered with files, played ONLY private battles, want unban.

Then Sam replied with this:
I'm sorry to hear that. Modding is relatively new to Battles and it's something we've been discussing recently. We actually think it's a fun thing for the community to do, and as long as it's not harmful or negative to the rest of the community or giving you an unfair advantage in a public match (i.e. you're only playing private matches), we're happy for players to do it! Our anti-hacking system may well flag you, but we're looking into ways in which we can prevent this from happening if you're only playing private games against other modded players. In the meantime, you may want to try creating an alternative account to mod with - just to be safe

That quote is an official response.
As long as you're not harming the community or giving an unfair advantage to others, you're fine.
I'll probably be unbanned because I didn't harm or give an unfair advantage to the community.

Should I mod on an alternate account?
Yes. And I advise your friend to do the same.

Will you teach me how to mod?
No.

What can I mod without risk of being put into the Hacker Pool?
Anything that isn't password protected.
You can see what I modified in my BTD:B screenshots.

TL;DR
Mod on a different account, mod only in private battles, not in public matches.
Have a good day folks, keep on popping.

Thank you very much, your response is much appreciated. Now all I need to know is how xd

Forget to mention that if the files are encrypted (with a password), these are the files that you'll get banned with.

Modifying everything that actually isn't tampering with amounts should be fine.
(e.g, "diamond projectiles", "different decals" should be fine.)

Modified the paragraph with some additional information.

But I still don't know exactly how to even do it? Like what file to edit?

I can't tell you.
Even if you find it, the file is password protected with a difficult password.

You said something about being able to edit files not password protected?

Search up "diamond projectiles" on YouTube.

If you modded in a private match / practice, you shouldn't have been banned but I do believe it is possible for that to happen. If so, post the same as I did saying you were hacker pooled for modding in private match, or contact ninjakiwi support and they will help you.

Nah, man. I was on other way to mod game. Used Lucky Patcher on Android to basically test it. Some other online games blocks LP. In that case it worked and it suprised me ;-;

[vinny]

I didn't get unbanned, I had to make another account :/

Email support is ♥♥♥♥. I mean. I did get unbanned through it.... Just dm sam on discord. Don't annoy him though, he's a busy guy so you don't want to be a ♥♥♥♥. Sam#5116

It's fine.
Although I spent money on the game on my other account, I'm making some good progress.
