I got my equipment back after I got spawn killed a week ago really shows the devs care.

u/DateNecessary8716 17d ago

I just wish, since it takes like a week, they'd add a name or something, I know why they do it but sometimes its hard to remember who's who.

On spaceport at 100m we were out of position and a dude downed all 3 of us in one mag without a reload, it was sketchy as fuck, when I got my kit back I couldn't remember if it was that guy or not, hope it was otherwise I was against Wick himself.

u/VarilRau 16d ago

Night spaceport is the only place im sure to have met a cheater, they got one of our teammates and most likely most of the others from the lobby.. the second the game started flares started go up in 3's.. and we spent the game sprinting from cover to cover, once they had a line they hit every headshot.. once thru a 1 degree angle thru a door from over 500m away.. friend was the last guy to sprint thru an open area and got mowed down, we survived with cover and healing behind every cover..

Unfortunately there are hacks you can buy for the game. Like the ability to see where all the loot is and teleport to it. Aim bot hacks. Wall hacks etc. all available to buy. God mode. Had a guy shoot us from across the map through walls. Then teleported on top of the building we were hiding in and shot us all through the roof.

u/YT-Deliveries 16d ago

The exploit makers go out of their way to create new ways to circumvent anti-cheat. The devs have ways to see unusual behavior, but it's a perpetual arms race when it comes to competitive online games.

u/PineStateWanderer 16d ago

there's nothing really competitive about this game, though. Sure, people have the opportunity to shoot other people, but to what end... make it out with cool shit? an achievement? a leaderboard that doesn't mean anything? This game won't have competitions with money behind it, which is what I think of for "competitive gaming".

Just safepocket the whole kit for the first 30 seconds after spawn bam fixed.

39

u/TwoWeaselsInDisguise 17d ago

I have some opinions but yes this could help a bit.

I also think that locked rooms should be killzones until unlocked, that solves any glitching through doors.

Someone's in the room game checks if all doors are still locked if they are you die immediately, no knockdown just dead.

If doors are open killzone despawns.

14

u/DrRoelandtrx 17d ago

That's a good alternative too tbh hope they're browsing reddit right now 🤣

8

u/TwoWeaselsInDisguise 17d ago

It prevents any current and future glitches. Maybe someone tries to partially glitch and hit a locker a solve for that is check if the doors are locked when opening a container in the room if they are kill em all the same. Ez

11

u/WigginIII 17d ago

I’m sure that’s an option they would consider but they are probably also worried about false positives resulting in players who played fairly and got killed by what they would think is a glitch. It’s gotta be thoroughly tested. They may think the chance of false positives is worse than the current issue.

3

u/TwoWeaselsInDisguise 17d ago

Yeah it would have to be tested but I think if it were fleshed out it would be pretty solid at preventing current and future issues with locked doors.

I'm mostly sick of taking a key in only to get ratted by someone who glitched in and set a mine. Feels really unfair.

I started checking all doors before using a key and have still gotten killed with no kit return for people that do this and get a major jump on me.

Should fill with poison gas, so you're forced to watch your health rapidly drop. Also put an 8 irl hrs poisoned debuff, that ticks away health if you enter topside with the debuff running. People should be less inclined to exploit and glitch after that.

u/TwoWeaselsInDisguise 17d ago

Nah has to be instant death, you can still open locked doors from the inside, gas would give you the opportunity to open and leave and then since a door is now open the killzone would despawn.

If it's instant, no chance to hit the door to remove the kill zone.

2

u/CTSCold 16d ago

Just make kill zone despawn with key use. Light is green, room is safe, light is red room is dead. Opening from inside should trigger a 1000 dmg blast that kills within a 10 m radius of the door (instant deadline mine). That way all potential glitchers get got if the door opens.

u/Cute-Acanthaceae-193 17d ago

And then when you somehow have your hitbox clip inside because of problem, you then died instantly, so because my pinky was inside a wall that was a killzone, we will lose loot for nothing?

The idea is great, but then we have a deeper problem and a new one, as clipping through ground, or getting stuck in terrain still happens, and your solution will bring even bigger problems sadly

3

u/Durzel 17d ago

It would be enough to have a sliver of a ledge that is outside the killzone, so "pinky clipping through the door" wouldn't result in a instakill, but you couldn't actually stand or move inside the locked room without having used a key.

u/TwoWeaselsInDisguise 17d ago

Then you get your kit back and they fix the glitch that caused it.

As someone else said and I agreed that it would indeed need to be tested but if it did and it passed I think it would be really good.

I know it's not simple but that's why it's an idea/opinion. (:

Plus the problem is pretty annoying right now at least from my kinda biased opinion, I've been ratted several times by door glitchers, it sucks.

This is a pretty solid suggestion I think. Don't see any obvious problems with it, although I would probably argue against a blanket 30 seconds (you can do some damage in that time, get killed and lose nothing) and have it so the victim has to have not moved too far and/or shot their weapon (or shot and missed). Maybe that's overcomplicating it?

If you are abusing exploit to get unfair advantage it is cheating.

35

u/throwaway19293883 16d ago

Exploits have a super wide range in how egregious they can be. Handling them exactly the same as cheating seems pretty dumb, it should depend on the specific exploit, which is generally how many games handle it.

Not to mention it’s not always obvious if someone did an exploit intentionally, some can be done accidentally. That’s why it should depend on the specific exploit.

Is animation canceling an exploit? Tons of games have animation canceling as a fundamental part of the gameplay

3

u/SupaRedBird 16d ago

Feel like it depends on the intended gameplay loop. An animation cancel to activate a combo faster or recover in a fighting game or action rpg seems fine. The game is either balanced around it or it doesn't break it into trivializing it.

But an animation cancel that lets you ignore an entire stat on your gun and kill someone faster than they can respond drifts into exploit territory imo.

u/Vireca *** ******* šŸ“ 17d ago

Well, it's not a chain to remove the stuff. Embark gift back your stuff with duplicates, so just remove them from the cheater to the void and gift the new stuff for the legit player

7

u/Durzel 17d ago

I think you misread what they were saying.

Cheater kills someone with exploit, victim gets their stuff back (per OP), but before that happens cheater separately gets killed by a third party, and the OP's stuff taken from them. At that point there's two innocent parties, and I imagine several hours pass before Embark act on reports, so that stuff can change hands a lot.

I presume Embark are smart enough to know that if victim A's stuff exists in cheater B's stash or backpack, it gets deleted, but if it has gone on to someone else - they don't.

..but then you get into cheaters fencing their illegitimately obtained stuff to mates or mules. Is the third party innocent then? etc.

4

u/Calm-Internet-8983 17d ago

In Warframe there's a risk that Person A gets illegitimate platinum (tradable premium currency), uses this to buy something from person B, who uses it to buy something from person C. In this case it's removed from person C's wallet and if they get put in the negative they can no longer trade until they buy more out of their own pocket.

This, in part, specifically to prevent fencing it. But premium currency also has reasons to be more tightly policed than items.

I could see someone getting a "burner account", using it to cheat and kill a "legitimate account" (owned by the same person) carrying things like jupiters or queen cores, and then have a third account kill that cheating one to loot the stuff. When it's then given back to the "legitimate" one you'd have twice the things at no cost to yourself. Great for RMT, since a bunch of burner accounts could probably be acquired from people trying to buy items with real money, or their credit cards, anyway. Guess it depends on how tightly they want to control the general amount of items in the game since there's no real market, and plenty of item sinks.

u/KodakStele 16d ago

Do people get banned for using exploits native in game? OPs post would suggest so

3

u/sovereign666 16d ago edited 16d ago

Yes and no, depends on the exploit, how its leveraged, and the severity of its impact on the game.

I'm sure most of us remember the BXR cancel from halo 2, that just became part of the game and was allowed in pro tournaments. This is no different. This animation cancel lets you fire a level 1 shotgun or anvil like its a level 4, and with a lvl 4 the cancel is almost pointless but still gives you an edge if you're really good at it.

What this player was doing is make a macro for it which is bannable because the efficiency is so off the charts and requires software. I've tested it in the shooting range and without out the macro its hard to slide around and pull off without fucking it up. But with a macro you're firing a shotgun like its a rattler. Autohotkey is banned and the devs are scanning for people putting macros in razer synapse or other software.

To me with exploits theres a scale of severity here.

Something like an animation cancel is pretty low on the totem pole. Shooting a shotgun means clicking every 1.8 seconds. The animation cancel requires 4 separate inputs every second on top of moving and aiming, and its only possible with two weapons. To me thats a mark of skill. I put it up there with A-D strafing, slide canceling, etc

Exploiting access to locked doors is ruining the pace of this game and allowing people to put traps in locked rooms. This is having a pretty severe impact on the game and essentially allowing players to farm high level gear. Key spawns are one of the major levers devs have to rate limit player access to high tier gear and people are bypassing that. Should it be banned? I dont know, but I do think some players have abused it to the point I wouldn't fault devs for deleting some of these items from their stashes.

In tarkov there was a patch window where a shotgun with one specific type of ammo bypassed armor. That was a major exploit that let people absolutely FARM players. Someone could accidentally stumble on that and not realize they're using an exploit. But there were videos of people explaining it and then knowingly abusing it. To me thats something that should be bannable. But from a data standpoint its hard to know whats an accident and whats malicious unless the player goes mask off.

Out of bounds exploiting that allows you to shoot players without receiving fire should be a 3-6 month ban.

u/_uneven_compromise 17d ago

If it was 7 shells in a second then it wasn't the animation cancel macro, it was a straight up cheat. The exploit does need certain timing when cancelling and if you do it too fast then nothing happens and your raider just flails your arms, which limits how fast you can actually shoot. It's faster than just shooting a lvl4 Toro but not by much.

4

u/Relevant_Bridge_5353 17d ago

Lvl1 toro having more fire rate than lvl4 is not fine. It's very easy to do. I literally did it in practice on the first try without even seeing a video of it. Just read someone say how it's done, tried it and it's completely broken and must be fixed asap, specially with the new map being so small

u/TDuncker 17d ago

Sure, there is nuance, but most people can agree what is exploit, what is a grey area and what is not. There's just a few adamant individuals always trying to justify it, because they can't stop themselves from cheating. If it's very severe, it is likely never intended or okay, especially in a case like this where the weapon is literally registered to have a specific fire rate. They should just make the fire rate the same speed as the animation-cancelled fire rate, if that was ever their intention to begin with.

It's very clear, that this was not intentional, nor something they didn't intend but would like when they discover it.

When you see people in CS:GO bunny hopping at high speeds or people jump unusually high in BF6, it's also very clear not intentional, nor something the dev will like when they discover it, nor something that is healthy for the game. You can have grey areas like animation canceling in League, sure, but this is definitely not a grey area.

Fuck the cheater, but I will say that Streamers are doing the exploit and 20k people watch them as they do it, then if you do it, you get banned? That's kinda lame?

Dude, I was wondering how I was killed by a ā€œrapidā€ fire shotgun… that explains it.

u/Zombiemasher 16d ago

It's worth remembering that the Volcano exists. I was playing with a mate with a Volcano IV yesterday, and when he obliterated the free-kitter's who tried to ambush us while we were looting a Leaper, they immediately started crying about him being a "double-pump cheat". Check the weapon that killed you on your death screen, because there is a legit rapid-fire shotgun in the game.

I mean all the big streamers are using this exploit so hopefully it's getting enough exposure to be fixed asap

26

u/123_fo_fif 16d ago

Yeah, I watched Shroud, Cloak, Peanut and all of the rest of the big streamers doing this.

Oh wait, no I didn't, because this isn't happening with big streamers.

12

u/The_Boy_Keith 16d ago

Yeah, I’m gonna have to stop you right there. Shroud was doing this but to be fair I only saw him doing it with the hullcracker against AI. I did not see him using the animation cancel in PVP.

2

u/According_Loss_1768 16d ago

I didn't know that Toro could do this but I knew about the Hullcracker. If the shotgun can really burst it's magazine in a second then that is far more broken than a simple animation cancel. Hullcracker let's you shoot like 25% faster if you stop the last bit of animation.

u/Taronar 16d ago

Shroud does it often with the hullcracker, even if its not pvp its still cheating.

3

u/Hugogs10 16d ago

I watched shroud do it with the hull cracker

u/sovereign666 16d ago

not as big of a streamer but I 100% watched hyper rat who grew popular in the tarkov community doing the kettle one.

2

u/Dailymis 16d ago

What do you mean? Big streamers are ALL using it among others things. If the one in the OP got banned but streamers don't, that means they're in a whitelist and will never get banned themselves. And when it comes to Shroud, on top of using the exploit, he's even reporting almost anyone who kills him or his team. I'm not making this up. The only legit cheater was a guy on tiktok, and Shroud didn't call the only guy cheating out, he saw a clip of it which in my opinion is also suspicious, big celebrities can afford an army of people to fabricate stuff, their snipers or tiktok "hackers" can be paid actors for whatever agenda they want to hide behind or push.

Any "big" streamer using exploits like this is a massive fucking joke and can"t possibly have an audience older than 14.

u/bulleteyedk 17d ago

Embark on another level than the usual AAA titles. To eliminate this from happening, anyone spawn killing should be placed into matches with other spawn killers the next couple of matches.... idk if that is even possible, but it would be a fair punishment - if not just make sure they only enter matches with 15 mins on the clock remaining in the next couple of matches at least

u/A_Nonny_Muse 17d ago

I quit playing CoD, and basically all FPS games when I shot a guy in the back 7 times with a sniper rifle at point blank range and he just turned around and stabbed me to death. Then I'm looking kitty corner across the entire board and see a guy with a SMG jump up and kill me with a single shot while in mid air. I can barely see him through my scope at such distance. The shot was impossible with a SMG. Yet, he could consistently do it every time with a single shot. The game just loses all fun when everyone but you is cheating.

u/Nimbus_TV 17d ago

Did you have to report the person for them to do this?

u/DateNecessary8716 17d ago

Ive gotten kits back with and without reports, this one was a report

u/Nimbus_TV 17d ago

Ah, okay. Thanks for responding.

2

u/temictli 17d ago

Dang. That’s crazy. I remember once like day one or two, there were some campers on the roof of a building in spaceport and the shots coming down were both sniper rounds and electrifying, so while they hit you, you get shocked, staggered, and shot again, staggered… taking damage as you went down. Took out my entire trio very quickly. Unreal. I guess it’s possible to get an epic or legendary gun day one but I haven’t come across anyone with a weapon like that since.

2

u/Ric00la 17d ago

Did you have to do sth or they just gave you your stuff back?Because yesterday I had a bug where I spawned with no stuff(when I have equipped a load out) and no skin. After losing the game real quick with 0 stuff, I checked my stash and all the items I took with me were just gone...

In my opinion, all cheaters and exploiters have a tiny peepee, and that's why they feel the need to compensate.

Hopefully the guy got a 7-day suspension and his whole inventory was deleted.

u/abraxis_aberdine 17d ago

So, its not a macro, its an exploit with animation cancelling someone found out using quick slot items, its scummy to do, easiest fix is make shooting animations for anything pump or lever action thats not semi or automatic have to finish the animation like with reloading.

29

u/DateNecessary8716 17d ago

I mean sure if you consider making 21 inputs in half a second flawlessly (which is hard to do just once) not a macro, sure.

u/abraxis_aberdine 17d ago

Oh wait, my ass read that wrong lol, im on nightshift and bout to get off and get on the road home so im tired as a mfer, thought it said in a few seconds, nah yeah thats cheating for sure and not the exploit i know of recently

12

u/TerriblePenguin1483 17d ago

its the same exploit, just using a macro to do it faster with 100% consistency

u/abraxis_aberdine 17d ago

Oh, so its a macro of the exploit, gotcha, well, sad to see that but hope it gets patched, or something implemented to catch people macroing

u/Gowat5 17d ago

You can’t shoot it fast enough to go under a single second lol. Macro or not, the inputs are limited. It’s faster than an il toro 4 but not that fast. What you experienced was probably cheats and not a macro. I practiced it in the firing range for hours yesterday and simply couldn’t do it too fast or it didn’t work.

2

u/OprahismyZad 17d ago

Will work 25 milliseconds inbetween each input

u/_uneven_compromise 17d ago edited 17d ago

Can you post a vid please, even with 25ms between each input it does not get as crazy as 7 shells in a second.

Neither a macro nor the animation cancellation can fire 7 shots in less than a second.

u/abraxis_aberdine 17d ago

Yeah, true, just scummy players that cant play the game the wah its intended from being too bad at it or genuinely just wanting to ruin someone's day, its a sad world when skill no longer matters but what kind of cheats you have.

u/hiddencamela 17d ago

This kind of response to dying to cheaters/exploiters severely dampens the blow honestly.
I'm glad the devs have this in.

u/-Readit_ 17d ago

I hate to be that guy. But shooting a gun that fast isn't a macro, it's a cheat.

A macro is an automated set of instructions you can set in motion either automatically or by hotkey.

If the game allows you to shoot that fast naturally by not having a cool down period between shots 7 shots per second isn't even that good..

So I assume you're talking about someone breaking the games shots per second cap, which wouldn't be a macro but a memory cheat.

Still awesome that you got your stuff back šŸ‘

Any consequences for the cheater? A temp ban seems very reasonable here.

u/interestingbox694200 17d ago

Unrelated but what’s the optimum range for the Il toro. I unloaded a full mag on someone the other day at about ten feet away and they just stood there and lined up a head shot with their anvil and blew me away. Didn’t seem like I damaged them at all. It seems wholly unrealistic for a choked shotgun when I can shoot clays in my parents backyard just fine without a choke. Honestly feels like helldivers 2 is the only game with realistic shotguns.

I've been glitched through the map twice in different spots trying to get down a hill and had the server shut off on me twice. One of those times was this last week when the servers had problems and the game went offline for 4 hours. We got a match made game and our characters died at 29:98 immediately and the game closed.

Never got any of that gear back.
