Are there hacks in this game?

[i✘Soul]

I sometimes get 1 shot and 2~3 shots head and die insta. Asking if there`s been reports that says there been hacks. Would be a bummer.

No hacks in this game just really powerful weapons like snipers or bows that can one shot you in the head if you don't have any armor on. Especially if they have runes of 50% head shot and 15% damage combined. So careful of being out in the open or standing still for to long. By the way any class using a purple sniper without any perks on it still does 1500 head shot damage by itself so be careful.

Yes, but what your describe is entirely possible without hacks. Headshots do bonus damage and the headshot rune is crazy strong (50%). Add in the fact that some weapon perks are an additional 20 to 50% damage and health goes quick. When I was running long bow hunter I got used to people going chicken after 3 clean shots.

Aimbot would be more common. I believe I came across one once. This guy wasn't a smart player but he snapped to aim and landed every AR shot to the head until I outplayed him.

I also suspect some people are landing with preferred weapons already equipped (hack). Ran into the same squad twice that had axes and bows when they landed.

But, the hacking in this game is not common at all and there's far greater issues in this game (teaming, dozens of glitches, chronic AFK, etc, etc).

I have almost 2000 matches now and never seen any cheat in this game, except players teaming on Solo matches, but that's another kind of cheat.

Aimbots, wallhackers and alike, I never seen any.

alot if it has to do with loadout and perks...

Ihaven't seen any hackers in ages. Be careful running around with no or low armor, can get blown up quick by a good player.

I have seen 2 times hack. A warrior landing with a legendary sword (yes without opening a crate), an aimbot (no doubt)

[Victor Von Doom]

Warrior is just too OP in close quarters most of times i die because head shot them with sniper running toward them to finish job and dude just 3 shot me with fire axe or lightning hammer

Don't worry, there are some.

[Kazaq]

Well.. for me it's hella easy to make headshots.. sometimes too easy. Is the hitbox a bit bigger for headshots than the actual head?

Same here. The first time this hunter and warrior duo landed with a hammer and crossbow, I thought I had the worst luck on earth. The 2nd time, when they didn't even loot, I knew it was BS...

I strongly disagree with both of you.


You have to actually sit there and spectate people for a minute or two to know for sure.

Hackers and aimbotters have pretty obvious clues to look for.

For example. Typically when someone is using a flat aimbot will INSTANTLY snap to the head/chest hit box when the mouse button or other selected button is clicked and lock there. Their cursor will INSTANTANTLY move from 1 spot to another faster than any human can physically percieve what is on the screen.

Click/trigger botting is more subtle and was designed to more closely mimic realistic player movement because you do not have to be directly "locked on" to their hitbox like with generic aimbots. It tracks their hitbox within a certain range to make it look like they aren't 100% locked to their enemies hitbox and only "snaps" to the hitbox when you use single shot or semi-auto weapons which require repeated clicks to shoot which effectively masks the hacks from the average observer.

Normal players who do not use hacks will pan their cameras quickly but there will be obvious movement of the camera and not just an instantanious movement.


No human being alive can accurately move their hand that fast and accurately after percieving whats on the screen.

Your assumption that there are no cheaters can easily be disproven based on basic human reaction time. It takes upwards of 1/4 of a second for the BRAIN to even percieve that there was something on the screen. That means from the time your eyes notice something and your brain gets that message is 1/4 second. And THEN it takes almost another 1/4 of a second for your brain to send the signal to your hands/arm to physically react to what your eyes saw.


So, in short, nobody alive can be expected to instantly move their mouse and do so accurately enough to land exactly on top of their targets hitbox. Only computers can think and react that fast.

So if you pay attention enough and watch players long enough, you start to see this in action. Over the years I have seen plenty of YouTubers and Twitch streamers who have this supposed "really fast reaction time" and its a load of bullcrap. When you understand the limitations of the human body it becomes very clear that yes, there are hackers out there.

True. Snap to aim is the give away. I've only come across it once in Realm but I'm not a hardcore player. If I was on every day I'm sure I'd see it more. I've played with and against admitted cheaters in other games and have got them banned by making clips so I know what to look for. Snapping between opponents with dead-on headshots. Tracking an enemies head even when they are behind cover. Cheaters tend to use hit scan weapons because they won't miss like a projectile might.

[Dryo]

I have no doubt on what Ive seen but Im agree with you 100% on your sceptical methodology

[HardcoreHolden]

Besides the bots in the game yeah, EAC has to deal with alot of cheaters

[PixWiz]

Why cheat when there is Fire Shredder in the game
