Increasing number of killers hacking to know where survivors are at all times
I've had a lot of recent matches where the killer knows where all the survivors are at all times. After inspecting perks and add-ons, it's clear they don't have anything that shows auras. A lot of them are not even running Barbecue, but are downing folks and walking straight to another survivor who is obscured by a wall, locker, or some other obstacle.
Anyone else noticing this more lately?
I've started recording matches to use to report it, but I feel like there's been a massive increase in it. Maybe there's a new hack circling or something?
EDIT TO ADD: I found a Youtube video showing that such hacking tools exist. They put a box around all survivors at all times to know where they are.
I've also checked every one of these killers and none of them had the perks suggested in the replies.

Do note that many of these players could just have really good map awareness.
Not Otz is a twitch streamer that has enough awareness to pull off what you are observing consistently and explains his reasoning for going where he goes in real time as he streams, so a sufficiently good Killer could definitely give the appearance of wall hacks.
I've even had someone claim I was using wall hacks on a particularly good game.

Not denying that there are killers that hack, however Many survivors dont know ######### about the scratchmarks they leave.
You can see scratchmarks a good distance away and guess where survivors may hide if you get there.

I saw killer that run like they have bloodlust 3 all the time. They dont go 10x speed to be less obvious. They still are way faster than normal speed. How there isn't a server check for those kinds of things really make me question what the dev are doing.

Sometimes killers get lucky, or see more than you think they did.
I was playing Huntress for the first time ever. Had no idea what I was doing. Went to reload hatchets to find a Claudette inside. I JUST WANTED TO RELOAD HATCHETS. Didn't want to have to hook this nearly invisible girl. What a pain.

Running surveillance and I'm all ears, you ain't hiding from me.

It's amazing how clever some survivors think they're being and are baffled how I could possibly predict what they're doing based on my experience with other super clever survivors.
OP: It's certainly not impossible people are cheating but it's just as likely as you're dealing with more experienced killers who know the tricks of the survivor trade. If you do think shenanigans are afoot, you can send the report and see what happens. Not like it'll hurt as I would think BHVR could look more into it to determine if somethin shady is happening.

Though hackers do exist, it's not like they're on the rise or there's a lot of them to the extent that you're implying.
A lot of killers know maps well, including hiding spots, totem spawns, loops, etc. and a lot of perks even help with location and aura reading (i.e. B&C). Other survivors can lead the killer straight to you as well.

None of the perks mentioned in this thread were used in the cases I mentioned. It also wasn't scratch marks. I'm seeing this happen in SWF matches where I have line of sight as well on my team. These are likely hacks.

Are you the guy that threatened having reported me last night on Grim Pantry when I played Ghostface?
I swear so many people think you cheat when all you're doing is patrolling generators and approaching when you hear a generator running but not finished as that's what that guy tried to call me out on for "cheating."

No. Oddly enough I haven't seen it with a Ghostface (yet).

I like it when survivors think I have no line of sight on them and, even though fairly far away but still in terror radius, I see them towards the end of the animation of them slowly going into a locker. Something like that could make people think I'm hacking if they don't see the game from my perspective. Sometimes survivors go into one within my hearing range, not LoS range, too so that's another possibility.

Are you a Romanian I faced this morning in the church map as P3 Pyramid Head?

Was the killer(s) the Huntress or the Doctor?
I have multiple times downed a survivor with my last hatchet. Then go to reload in a nearby locker and end up pulling a survivor out of it.
That is just the nature of Huntress as she needs to open lockers a lot so hiding in them as a survivor is a death wish.
As for the Doctor to avoid static blast you'd need to get out of the terror radius or into a locker.
This means that if the killer sees scratch marks but didn't get a static blast hit then they will most likely check lockers to see if survivors went into them to avoid the blast.

I gotta disagree. I've had several games since this patch that had hackers. Funny enough though, they were all survivors. You can see many examples of it over on Reddit as well. Although to be clear I'm not saying that OP isn't mistaken and this could just be a very good killer, but they should report and let them inspect. Take videos for future reference if you're really concerned about hackers.
