Are they all cheaters?

Host a multi player map from time to time and meet quite often players who are lev 60+ or pick up 10 animals in a second. What are your experiences, is there a way to report them or is nothing being done about it?

As the host you can boot them out of the game. There might be a way for the Host to set the game so only your friends can access it. There is no method in place to punish the trespassers. It's a sad state of affairs.

Thanks for the answer, I kick them regularly. It's just a pity that there is no reporting function or you can block them permanently to join.

is it 10 animals in a second, or 10 animals every 5 minutes or so spread out over 10-20 seconds? if its the former theyre cheaters and yes just boot them, if its the latter they are not cheaters and just make use of max range shooting which often doesnt spook animals, or if they spook they quickly return to where the other deer got shot

[Phoneend]

there so many cheaters, i just quit hosting games anymore, its so sad

[Lade]

Was the first, so collected over 10 animals at the same time and over 8k points in 1 second but also often people with lev 60+. As far as I know, 60 max is also on console?

That's the secret M204 Herd Handler DLC. It comes pintle-mounted on the Razor SOC buggy. Dakka Dakka!

If theyre over level 60 then their using mod. Also how can you shoot 10 animals dead in a second? I have shot 3 ducks at once with shot gun. Why do people play multi player maps? I am assuming its for social purposes. Are the maps different then single player maps? If they are the same then just hunt single player if your not there to be social. Dont you have to approve them coming onto your map? How do they trespass? Maybe they should add option for you to hunt those cheating trespassers.

10 animals/sec - There are cheats to warp around the map and to "freeze" animals so they don't move.

One of the advantages (sort of) is that any need zone found by a guest on your multiplayer map stays on your map when you go back to single player. The other advantage is that you can play any map that you don't own....try before you buy if you will.

When you set up a multiplayer map, you have the options of public (anyone can join) friends list (only people on friends list can join)( or private (invite only I think).

I usually get booted within a minute or two when joining a multiplayer session, it happens so often I've kind of given up on it. I'm level 60, which can be seen by the host. I also have over 1400 hours, which can't been seen by the host. I'm not certain if the Hunter Classic has an anti-cheat system, although with the direction this game is going I'm certain at one point in time this game will. Guess I'll tough it out until then.

When I hunt with a bow, I'll usually drop 5 or 6 animals in the same general area over a period of time before I collect them. Red deer will usually keep coming back in when called if harvested with a bow and they don't see or smell anything. They're not dropped at the same time, just collected. This may look like a cheat to some, easy mistake to make I guess. I save the bow hunting for solo play because of it.

Yes, but your not killing 10 animals a second. Even with a cheat that would be impossible unless your using a nuke or something. lol

Why on earth would anybody cheat at this game?

Because they can.

[yogisgoat]

Because some people will do anything to be on a leaderboard.

Just started playing last weekend, so no expert here, but watched a "tips-n-tricks" video today and the player claims taking one animal in a group at 250 yards or more won't spook other animals. Player took every animal in group, then went and collected all at once.

If a player wants to cheat in single player game, have fun. In multiplayer, it should be a no-go. I'm more into fishing simulators, and was immediately turned off to competitions because of multi-box cheating. If there is competition, there is cheating, just how life works. No one HAS to do multiplayer, it's a choice.
