Already people cheating

[TheMap]

Last game someone spawned 5 units in the 3rd round. I thought... maybe I don't know enough yet to know how to do this. So I ignored it. Then the guy was spawning upgraded level 3's. And at the end, he ended up giving me 500 resources... and the game crashed. Cmon now.... we gotta do better.

It is possible if you get the 3 Unit spawn random card between the turns.
+buy an adiitonal Unit via the Tower option.
+and spawn another 1 time Unit from the random card selection...
=5 Units

That can be 5 and if they are cheap enough like something that cost 100 maybe 150 it can be done.

Then, i dont know, there is a possiblity you have seen units spawning helper unints?
Like a Marksmann can spawn 5 Fangs?

Hope that helps :)

Mhh you must have been extremely unlucky or simply misinterpreted things. You only got like 2 hours in the game. Are you sure you are familiar with all game mechanics? I've played almost 30 hours and haven't seen a single cheater yet so the game does very well in that regard. If it was indeed a cheater, then you were incredibly unlucky because that's not normal in this game to run into a cheater.

In addition to above poster, there is also 1 specialist you can pick at the start, that gives you a rhino in round 3 for free. Like that would match the round you were in. 1 unit from the specialist, 3 units via normal recruiting (by using tower for extra unit), 1 unit via the (3 units per round card) and possibly even a spawn from yet another card which could potentially make it up to 6 units in the same round if we assume all of the above things came together perfectly.

5 units? I doubt it.

4 units can be done, if you get a card + the 50 supply temporary upgrade.

Spawning gold ranked units can be done, the most notable ways being marksman commander, the card for lvl3 fangs or lvl5 crawlers, or spawning lvl2 units via building upgrade/elite commander and using the card ability (experienced leader or something like that) to grant a unit another level, hence a gold spawn.

I highly doubt that you can cheat in Mecha, given the way MP works.
So I call BS on this.

Well, the people that obviously watch your turn and set accordingly counters do cheat imho but it is not a Software Hack but i guess an Specatator Exploit!?

Whats the spectator exploit I keep hearing? Don't matches have a delay if you spectate them? Pretty sure they do or at least when I wanted to spectate a match once which just started, there was like a 1 minute delay.

Plus sometimes you can just predict what the other guy is going to do so it will end up looking like you knew what he was doing, but it was rather just a prediction.

There is no delay. When i watch my fried i have to be carefull not to spoil anything. When watching a friend you should not be able to see the opponent. A delay is annoying when you want to watch a friend play.

Yeah that sucks in this case. So you can just have someone else watch your game and tell you in real time what the other player is doing? That does suck indeed.

2 ways they can do it, one is with the xp card and making a level 2 unit and buffing it twice, the second way is through the card unlock.

Also, some players will sack the first round to find out what you are building then counter you. IMO, it's best to just stick with what you spawned with and not build jack. This game is all about hard counters and once you get hard countered the game starts going downhill fast.

So many ppl claiming it's not possible to cheat in this game. But if you search Mechabelum cheats many come up. Describing exactly the flaws that seem to come up from time to time. Did that player really counter all my flanks or could they see when I might try for a tricky missile placement? How come armor says it reduces 60 dmg yet when I gave my lvl 5 crawlers plus 200%dmg and they are swinging over 1k dmg they can't hurt a lvl 2 steel ball? How does a rhino sometimes defeat a lvl 1 crawler, lvl 2 mustang, lvl 2 stormcaller, and lvl 1 sledge by itself? Or when a unit heals 4.5% life, yet that also can mean a flying ship doing 15k x lvl rails does 0 dmg on hit?!

With all the claims of cheating and no photo, video or replay proof I call BS.

[Stiflers'Mom]

If I'm not sure that there's no cheating in this game, then that's it for me. Strange things have been happening in the game lately.

[Polar Test 53]

theres only been a few times where its kinda sus counter placements. maybe 3 odd instances of it. havent seen any form of oddly strong units but maybe i wasint paying enough attention
when they counter every unit you place until you call them out then oh all of a sudden they no longer perfectly counter everything. or they just keep doing it till the games over.

i get people getting a perfect read and countering what im doing but 8 rounds in a row? no chance thats all just coincidence or they just read me like an open book. the chances of that actually happening are so slim they may as well be non existent. i dont use any meta builds you see a dozen times either.
i guess they could be a smurf but it wasint really a case of being outplayed but more of no matter what i placed they would place a counter unit the same turn and say "oh thats just the meta move to do this turn of course i saw it coming." yeah the meta move in 1200mmr game riiiight.

I see it that way, too. As far as I know, nobody has ever posted anything here, on Reddit, or on the Discord server to back up these claims, so until I see actual, verifiable proof, I'm skeptical.

I'll add that in over 200 hours of playing and spectating, I've not seen anything that struck me as suspicious. I've also watched streamers play for more time than this and also not seen any questionable stuff, besides stream snipers.

Same here, 250 hours in and I have yet to see any cheating,
Certainly a few bugs here and there though (few of which have impacted game-play).

Not to say there isn't any, but have yet to see any evidence of such.
Re for the post earlier: 'There are a bunch of search results for Mechabellum Cheats', a lot of those sites will auto-populate their page names with what you search for and or just be vrius bombs - beware!
