Haven't seen a hacker in a while!

Just wanted to upload an appreciation post since that I haven't seen a single hacker in a few weeks.

There was a pretty horrible surge of hackers in the past several months. I was seeing blatant and subtle hackers almost every 5 or so games. It seems like BHVR has stepped up quite a bit.

Thanks a bunch to the anti-hack and other involved folks!

    I am too dumb to tell if this is serious post.

    Nope. They are just torturing people at the higher mmr. you may have run into some as they played their fresh EPIC accounts.

    I only really saw 3 in my life (at least blatant ones).

    I have instead being called a hacker for simply making lucky guesses, good use of headphones or good plays. I do believe that there is a lot of alarmism about hackers while sometimes it's only things that seem odd from out point of view.

    Like streamers calling out streamsniping in every game they get outplayed etc.

    (of course flying killers and teleporting survivors exist but again, I believe it happened three times in my life and I have like 1500 hours in)

    I think I'm gonna leave DBD for now, right now when I play 1 in 2 games there's wallhack, at least when I'm survivor it's easy to tell because no tracking perk on killer but straight to player like they own BBQ, meanwhile as killer it's hard to tell if the survivor just using wallhack or not but playing as killer been bad lately, might as well called it quit, when I check their steam profile most of them got another game ban

    All humans cheat and lie! Everybody! Some are just better evading getting caught. Pointless topic!

    What I really fear are the subtle hackers, that you probably would never notice. If a survivor had 105% speed they probably could loop you a whole lot more, but how would you ever know? Subtle hacking like that could go on indefinitely and would increase these players success in the game significantly.


    But blatant hacking has never been too problematic for myself.


    Still, saying that everyone cheats is utter BS

    After 2700 hours I've never faced any blatant script-kiddie survivors and one "minigun" Huntress, but just some suspect players here and there.

    I think they especially target streamers, I've seen many cheaters back to back on Coconutrs or Tru3talent stream.

    Im most likely high mmr as survivor, I see at least one obvious hacker every single day and the others are just secretly hacking so…

    Eh. Wallhacks are really difficult to prove.

    I get accused of it a fair amount, but it's usually just deduction (I saw you at x earlier, so chances are you'll be at y or z after I hook) or straight up luck.

    I used to play very info heavy, so I try to make up for my inability to mindgame by keeping track of roughly where players should be.

    I'm saying it's not a DBD problem or even an online gaming problem, human nature is the problem.

    Everybody cheats and lies in some aspect of their lives but they only become upset when they become the victim of cheating.

    If you wanna change the world, start with yourself.

    yeah i know it's difficult to prove, that's why I never made sure someone is wallhacking unless it's blatant, ex : no tracking perk no bbq just go straight to where the other survivor was 100% accuracy. Nurse could teleport right through where I am ( just had it recently ) without showing and after that he could insta res me when I'm down.

    Another things that hard for me to prove is when i'm playing killer and i don't know if the surv is wallhacking or not, so at this point I can't make sure about it. But this is the state now for DBD, when i'm playing surv I could see some subtle hackers using wallhack although most of them is noob so you can deduct 100% they're using wallhack (usually less than 300-400 hours) but going straight to other survivor while having no BBQ

    I got two matches in a row with sussy baka killers.

    Granted this was 3:00 AM in the morning but they still exist.
