Is this game just hackers now???
I jumped back in after being gone for a bit and have seen hackers in multiple games now. People clearly using aim-bot, as you seem them snapping to players through walls.

Are the devs talking about this at all?

Mostly not but there are a few. They don't seem to impact the game result though (at least not in the Domination mode I play) because of the point scoring system.

Here we go again.

Seen 1 in the last 3 months which I reported and they were banned.

I don't know what I do wrong but I may have not encountered a single hacker in my almost 700h in game

I've seen 2 so far this year.

I've only seen 1 or 2 after 700 hours

I maybe have seen one, but can't remember and I have several hundreds of hours game play in PvP only.

Caught one tonight. Quite a low level player and in the game I was in they went 57 kills but only 7 deaths. So if it's correct then that's 3 in 9 months so hardly infested with cheaters.
right now i had a lvl ~30 ish cheater and on last map lvl 9 with black steam profile avatar "?" and both private profiles

I've played hundreds of hours in this game and only rarely do I get the suspicion that I'm playing with a hacker; I think the anti-cheat engine does a pretty decent job.

i've seen one cheater in nearly 1k hours of this game they are very rare

It's a love hate with this game, I do have to say one thing EAC does well is preventing hackers, I hardly see any, every now and then it's blatant but otherwise it's far and few between. But I mean who would bother making hacks for a playerbase of around 3k?

But 57 kills and 7 deaths isn't an indication for cheating even at a low level. I am assuming you played domination or push or something along that line.

If you camp somewhere and just pop one enemy after the other, you have reached such numbers quickly, with some effort. His 7 kills indicate that he is not cheating as cheaters usually don't get killed (too proud of it).

People that use hacks are usually low levels, with weird weapon choice and stupid movement, they also prefer to play domination, its easy to spot one even in gameplay(also with chance of 99% this hacker is Chinese), but its even more easier to detect the kid in replay

It really isn't.

I really haven’t come across anything in over 200 hours. A few suspicious deaths but nothing too extreme. Nothing like Pubg where it was blatantly obvious and a daily occurrence.
