PVP Cheaters
If you have to cheat to win, get out of this game. I've had to report just about every team I face because of cheating, although it's not going to do much.
-
Its even more blatant in open skill lobbies. Just all these guardian rank 2 and 3 accounts with virtually no outstanding features skating across the map like its esports.
-
Today, I was playing Iron Banner. I would win some, and l would lose some. I had some bad matches and a few great ones, but several matches were just ridiculous. I kept getting 1 tapped by a Warlock who had 0 weapon state a 0 health? I had 180 weapons stat and a 100 health and couldn't even break their shield.
-
Now that live support has basically ended... Cheating in this game is going to skyrocket and nothing is going to be done about it.

3 RepliesReport won’t do any good pal.

2 RepliesCheaters should be banned. But I would bet a lot of money you are confusing legit players for cheaters. Good players ("legit" ones) get accused of cheating all the time. Its just part of being very good at something. On the other hand, cheaters are definitely playing, but with some very few exceptions, you can't differentiate them from a "legit" player.

3 RepliesPvP is just bad. Hand cannons and shotguns is what it comes down to.
-
Don’t be gaslit by the naysayers. The cheating is rampant
-
For real. It literally makes crucible unplayable. That and the TERRIBLE match making. I just tried playing iron banner and only won ONE game out of 10 because I kept getting teammates that don’t know what a controller is, playing against trials level players. Skill based matchmaking my -blam!-

Cheaters are all losers. Never understood what is the need to cheat, because you did not win legit so yeah "woohoo". Maybe they get some sick enjoyment from ruining other players joy? They should get some professional help and talk to someone. -
2 RepliesThis is why players should be allowed to quit out with no repercussions. Unfortunately many players like to feel special, cheating is the only way they get joy if we could just quit out they would get bored and leave.

I've had to report just about every team I face because of cheating, although it's not going to do much.[/quote] Whilst I agree there are cheaters on both console and PC, puts tinfoil hat on, I swear there's some sort of catch up mechanic as well. Its not evident in every match but just had one where we were comfortably winning then you start getting ghost bullets are they hit every head shot. Its weird.
-
It also lags a lot, as usual. You can tell when you have matches and it feels like you die at nothing but your bullet always seems to miss or hit like rubber.
-
I don't see what they get out of it, other than ruining other people's fun. I'm in the same boat. We had a guy revive himself when I played Trials briefly this weekend. I then proceeded to just give it up.
-
And people who use bots to farm should be stripped of all human rights and forced to do manual labor. Just my opinion
-
7 RepliesYou aren’t facing that many cheaters. Being better than you doesn’t equate to cheating.
-
Laughs on PC. I am more wondering.......did the team that reviewed the reports also get laid off?
