Cheating on weekends is insane

[Kalvix]

Just had a game where we found people killing the boss, killed 1 outside, so the other them hid in the boss lair, with NO aggro from the boss at all. They kept ducking in and out as if the boss was their buddy.

Then team that showed up after then didn't get anything but head shots on their very first shot. Seriously they need to find a way to clamp down on cheating, especially on the weekend, because its just getting out of control.

And its always so noticeable, during the week I climb in MMR and make money, then on the weekend I tank money due to stuff like this happening in almost every game. It's become such a pattern that I'm getting tempted to just never play on the weekend to avoid the worst of the cheaters.

That's not a hack that currently exists, they were probably just moving smartly/quietly and not hurting it enough to put it in rage mode.

They can't hack server side information, only things like ESP and aimbots are really possible, things that are client sided.

Also, just because people headshot on their first shot doesn't mean they are cheating- most people try and headshot first shot when ambushing.

Not saying there are not cheaters in hunt, but I feel you are just rushing to conclusions here instead of considering any other possibility.

what compound was it? some of them have rooms/areas that LOOK connected, but arnt really.
also, they could have been taking turns hurting the boss and shooting at you.

I can understand some people getting head shots, but the amount of first shot head shots on weekend is WAY beyond the norm, and no this was Lawsons the smaller station building, and he was on the south side, he was standing right next to the butcher a lot of the time. So ye I'd suggest that is a hack that exists now, either that or it just completely bugged out as he was treating the entire boss room like a safe room, sprinting around, and I didn't hear the boss ever go after him, but it sure did when we entered.

Yes, they can.
You got a spinbot that will 1 shot everyone on the map with compact ammo at 900m, there used to be a video of it on Youtube if you want to look it up. Also extreme health regen that will keep the cheater full life as long as you don't headshot him.

About the OP : there are spots in boss lair buildings, usually little rooms linked to the exit/entrance, outside of the boss aggro zone so you can lose it when you want.
I recommend you spectate players you suspect of cheating once you are dead to make sure you're not just rage blaming.

I know about safe spots, but this person was literally stood right next to the boss without any aggro, and was just moving about the boss lair as if the whole thing was a safe zone. That building has that tiny room at the back as a hidden spot from the boss, they just stood next to it and were completely fine.

Then the AI is just ♥♥♥♥ sometimes, or they were out of sight and quiet enough, or there were walls between them, or something explainable that is hard to gauge without a video/seeing their perspective.

They definitely were not cheating in that instance because it's borderline impossible to.

While sure it could be a toss up when hit by sus headshots; but in that particular instance, no one was cheating.

You misunderstand. You're talking about non server sided things.

headshots arent that hard on this game, everyone moves too slow.

Going to have to disagree-

I have found this weekend in particular there are far fewer cheaters and hackers. I was actually wondering if Crytek had done a new wave of bans or something.

Well, killing people at 900m with compact ammo through terrain is not supposed to happen from a client only perspective, something was changed server side for these shots to be valid.

I understand you meant the boss can't be modified by a player as it is server side, but I guess modifying the player entity to be perceived as a grunt by the boss would have the same effect.

it's useless, they buy the new account for less than 5 euros on sites that sell keys..

What is useless is Easy anti cheat. Crytek are to cheap to buy a more expensive version of EAC or even better. A WORKING ANTI-CHEAT!

Fudge, I cant stop playing because I love hunt. But I hate Crytek. I wish steam would just say no. (Sorry Crytek, you are not welcome on this platform anymore!)

Nothing like booting up the weekend matches, entering wildcard, and getting tapped before you reach the first compound from over 100m with a chain pistol. then proceed to witness the entire server die in the following 5 minutes basically.

And if you continue to witness this, then I'd assume you'd make an effort to start recording after you die you watch them do it to the rest of the server and sending the info so they could get banned?

Oh man, can't wait to boot up hunt to waste 1-15 minutes recording and reporting cheaters to crytek instead of playing so i can manually sit around and get every cheater banned instead of them getting a decent anticheat.

Edit: I normally just block them on steam if they don't have a hidden account so the matchmaking won't ever pair me with them again
