Hacking.

[ray]

If you hack the game do you only play with other hackers?

Either you use obvious hacks like to many skill points or Nightmare tickets and they system auto flags you. Otherwise its all manual and you got to report the person on the website.

Yes really, not hard to find hacks. Because they suck at the game and need a crutch to make them be able to play on level with the rest of people.

The biggest one is the no damage hack. Have run into people in several games that just sit in a corner and tank every single mob.

actually, you know you are flagged as hacker when you cant participate on live events
(score not loading)
also, the ticket count can be resetted and exploited and didnt got any bans or anything like it on the test account

i dont think they care right now, SAS4 has been around for years and they have already stated that they dont intend to update it anymore, they probably only brought it to steam to see if they can milk a little more money from somewhere :D which is fine......

i have played this game for years on and off and i admit i did use a cheat after a while here because the game just isnt interesting enough for me to grind for weeks on the steam version and im still bored doing the same thing over and over again even with the cheat lol.....

playing as a non cheater i got to about lvl 60ish on the browser version and 40ish on steam recently... steam version actually seems pretty fast to level up, you can easily reach lvl 35 in 1-2 days of playing....

if im to be totally honest..... playing with cheats totally ruined my game experience and i had much more fun with my hard earned gear than i did with my augmented black kick ass gear.....

its just hard playing honestly when you see so many others cheating you on events where your trying your hardest to get the keys and black boxes etc.......

I hacked because I want to test out how strong the weapon can get. Like getting a 12**** shockfield for an example.

they said they dont intend to update browser version anymore. reading comprehension is a good skill to have.

A skill which you seem to lack since he addresses that issue in his first sentence.

I learned the hard way that you should NEVER play "free" games on Steam. The purchases in this type of game are made in-app, and the money goes directly to the developer. The money never goes through Steam as a company. So if there is a problem, Steam will not do anything to help you. You can never get your money back and nothing will be done to make sure other people don't have the same issue. Steam purchase = safe. In-app purchase = not safe.

Ninja Kiwi, the developer of SAS 4 is a devious, profiteering deceitful company that is only out to trick you into making useless in-app purchases. I'm talking about $40 USD for some game money, advertised as "War Powers Funds". It's not even enough money to level up ONE decent gun ([black] gun). If you buy 10 loot boxes (also expensive), you are lucky to get 2 items that you didn't already have. One premium gun costs $40, almost the price of an entire AAA game! Games that typically have hundreds of playable weapons (CSGO).

You may be thinking, "haha I never pay money in free games". Good luck with that in this game. If you try to play with leveled-up players, who have purchased stuff, you will:
a. Die in one hit
b. Have to shoot a standard enemy 500 times too kill it
c. Have to shoot a boss enemy 60,000 times (literally) to kill it
d. Walk so slowly you don't even see what the other players are doing
e. Have to wait 5 minutes to respawn in multiplayer games. It is so bad the game will actually ask you, "Do you want to spectate or just quit?"
f. Never be able to win a multiplayer event e.g. Last Man Standing

I emailed Ninja Kiwi through their website with these, and many other issues with the game. They blew me off. They did nothing to help me personally, or to fix the problems.

Here is the typical player experience for SAS 4 (assuming you don't make purchases):

Learn how the game works -> Learn how the multiplayer works -> Learn how to level up -> Reach level 10 -> Beat all 7 maps -> Grind 50 hours to level up to 15 -> Get access to live online events -> Die instantly -> Grind and farm for another 100 hours to get level 35 -> Get access to nightmare mode -> Wait 20 minutes to start a game because the other players keep quitting the matchmaking screen -> Die instantly -> Grind another 50 hours to get level 50 (surely if I put enough time in, I'll make some progress!) -> Die instantly because you are matched up wth level 100 players -> Face the ultimatum (the developer's plan all along) of giving up the game entirely or making a purchase -> fight tooth and nail to beat a nightmare mission for 30 minutes, only to have your game freeze and shut down seconds away from finishing because the other players got bored and rage quit -> get♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥off because you wasted so many hours playing the game and were never able to play the way you wanted to play from the beginning... never able to get any elite augment cores, or black items, or get enough perk points (e.g. energy regen) to make a difference -> spend hours preparing a detailed list of 14 major problems with the game -> email the list to Ninja Kiwi support -> get blown off completely -> write a long, articulate negative review on Steam -> hope other gamers avoid the game, so that some good will come out of your countless hours of anger and frustration.

Short Version: SAS Zombie Assault 4 sucks.
