    The most recent cheat I've been seeing has been working like this;

    The gate is opened and I'm trying to protect a late hook. There's an injured survivor that I want to chase out the gate to keep it to only 1-2 instead of 2-3 rescuers. The survivor does that thing where they wait by the boundary so they fall down and immediately exit the match after I hit them. So, I hit them, I see them go down, the icon even shifts to "escaped" and i head back in to protect the hook. Then, all of a sudden, the survivor I just punched out of the match is back in there for the rescue while I am trying to deal with the other survivor I thought was the only one left.

    The first time I encountered this, I thought I was just misremembering things in the heat of the moment. But this exact scenario has happened about four times now in the last two weeks.

    Yes… It’s obvious when a Killer is cheating too.

    On occasion, when I’m utilizing Empathy or similar perks, I notice a survivor running out of bounds, which is quite amusing. Today, I also encountered a Legacy Prestige 3 Claudette who hadn’t even reached 1,000 hours of gameplay, and their Steam account showed no progression in levels. Quite suspicious, if you ask me.

    I've been seeing a lot of speed and flashlight hacks on my killer games as of late

    I encountered this Claudette in multiple matches at one point, she was using Champion of Light to 'disguise' her cheats, although it was extremely obvious that she was speed hacking. When she was using her flashlight, she was literally faster than me, and she became uncatchable, according to her it was Champion of Light, but she really thinks I was that dumb to fall for it.

    Reported her every time, got feedback saying they were banned a while after, hopefully I don't encounter her again.

    Tonight we played two games in Killer, and in the first game we were destroyed by a Korean party who used lights that penetrated the wall from far away. I am disgusted if my allies were cheating, although I am not always aware of it when playing solo survivor.
