What's with this obscene number of XP

[Catull]

I get it that it gives XP for mining ANYTHING, including dirt, but how's that possible? Is it really what throwing explosives left and right does or I just got lucky? Something to do with highlevel characters? Tons of supply pods and characters joining later?

This is cheated fastlevellling. You reach promotion in one run over mineral-linked XP multiplier. They usually dont multiply the minerals itself, just reward for it. Have met them once.

Looks like someone is cheating

Very simple, they are cheating.

[Catull]

Well I guess that was obvious in hindsight.
But why tho? Is there that many level based hats or it's pure showoff? I'd get the gold cheating, but xp is fairly useless after first promotion.
Sorry for making silly questions.

Someone being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ by cheating without your consent.

Cheating in a PvE co-op game isn't that terrible... but doing it in an open lobby, and affecting others without informing them is a ♥♥♥♥ move.

This reminds me of PD2, where you'd join a lobby and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cheating host hits the "win" button, and the mission ends with millions of XP.

If I wanted to cheat, is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cheat...

You can switch back to on older save file if you click on "Restore Save" in the game settings.

Most likely the rank 129 scout...

This actually brings a question to my mind
Does this game have an actual anti-cheat like Siege/CSGO or did the devs not give one just like in PAYDAY2 and you just get branded as a cheater if you use hacks?

[Catull]

Actually, Rabbit was the host, as far as I remember. Both Scout and Engineer joined up later after me.

PD2 doesn't brand you a cheater if you use "hacks" or cheats. The only thing that gets you flagged as a cheater is picking up bags too fast (cheating to spawn them), or using DLC unlocks.

I used to use dozens of mods that could be considered cheats in PD2, while playing with my friends. Of course I wasn't actually "cheating"... just changing the mechanics of the game to be interesting after dumping over 1000 hours into mostly vanilla play.

That doesn't sound right... Unless someone not the host can cheat that way.

I find it unlikely someone cheating went down 3 times... Though perhaps they didn't turn on god mode, so that they weren't obviously cheating.

Maybe you're right, but thats not what I'm after xd I was more interested in knowing whether this has an Anti-Cheat or not

No, I'm fairly sure I joined the lone Driller, than much later on the chinese joined. Also Driller was already max level, while Scout was the one to level up the most up to 25. So I think it wasn't the host.

This game has no anti cheat or report systems. You don't need to be the host to cheat because of the peer to peer system. The only thing you can do is to switch to an older save file.
