Will I be banned if my friend played with cheats? (game ban)

[AII]

We were playing Resident Evil 5 with a friend, he was the host, and I connected to him. We were playing the store mode. during the game, he played with cheats (I don't know which ones specifically, maybe some kind of software).

Q: If he gets a game ban in Resident Evil 5, will I get it too? since I was playing with him at that moment, he was the host of our server and so on. And is there such a practice at all? when the host teammate plays with cheats, his friend also gets banned, since he also took advantage, it was also easier for him due to the fact that his friend was cheating

If the game has an Anti-Cheat, then there is a possibility of getting banned for cheating.
But only the user using cheats will be banned.

Thanks! I thought the one who plays with him would get it too as he enjoyed the benefits.

Nope.
Anti-Cheats only check the users computer.
So if one user in a team is cheating, then only the cheating player gets banned.
It wouldn't be fair if the legit players got banned even if their teammate is.
Though in tournaments, that's a whole different can of worms.

He's talking about Resident Evil 5, it's not a game where there are a lot of players in teams, there's a host, and his friend who joins him and plays with him, if the host is a cheat, then his friend
enjoys an advantage. I'm not sure, but I think in this case, the one who didn't use it will get banned too, there are only 2 players (the cheater host and his friend)

because the second player (not a cheater) also, for example, I got achievements with the help of a cheat, and other advantages

I am aware.
I'm am still warning them in the event they do play a game that has an Anti-Cheat and his friend uses cheats.
The RE games are games that also have some built in cheats once youeet certain requirements.

In GTA 5 online, there was a case when a cheater handed out money that he had stolen, and then some players who took this money were blocked

But as i said, im not sure, but I think if the ban doesn't come within 2-3 months, then everything is OK.

Bans won't be delayed that long.
A few days at least.
