Can I get banned because there is a cheater in my game?

[Five™]

I was afraid of the Helldivers cheaters dropping 6k samples and lots of super credits.

I wanted to know if I could get banned in Helldivers for having a cheater in my game. If the samples count for everyone, the game would probably think that everyone is a cheater and ban everyone.

Not 100% sure, but I would definitely consider contacting Arrowhead's Zendesk if I were in your shoes.

Yes, of course, there are ways to identify a cheater without showing it:
2k common samples?

Yea, it's just that I have heard of accounts being banned with cheating, specifically super credits.

No one has ever confirmed or complained about a ban that I am aware of. The AC mostly just blocks attempts at cheating.

However there is some issues, for starters the AC doesn't work on Linux so it's as simple as that to bypass and use cheats. It can't even report the cheat cuz it can't hook into anything to even detect it.

No AC is perfect, so people will bypass it regardless the goal is mitigation not 100% prevention.

There is no report feature, this is a kinda annoying 1 but you can't report for cheating. Some suspected the psn link was gonna be for that, and I think the devs stated they were gonna pass it to Sony and their team cuz it's easier then through steam. But it fell through so yeah.

What prompted you to write the last paragraph? You can report players in-game for cheating, amongst other reasons, the same menu that allows muting or blocking.

Last I heard they have to use the chat or you can't report them, is that still correct? If not you can't report them. Which makes it if true still effectively no report button, all they gotta do is not talk at that rate lol

Possible they changed it as well, but I have heard people complain about it several times.
