If BHVR had a team who's one job was to look for cheaters in DBD I'd gladly work on it.
the topic speaks for itself.
If I could I'd love to work for a team that actually looks for and monitors game for people hacking and cheating. Some of the games I've been in as of late have had some very questionable activity of the killer and survivor end.
I know that there is a report system and things get done with evidence but relying on players to record every match they play in the chance that they catch someone cheating is a tall order sometimes.
I know I'm not a game dev and it's just an Idea

Personally I haven't run into a cheater in a few months (TY luck). Last time was a Huntress who always saw everyones aura no matter where they were or what was being done. A friend of mine did say last week he ran into a flying Hillbilly who threw hatchets like he loaded them into an M16 though so I guess they're still rampant.
Is it too early for a fix on their Easy Anti Cheat, or do we have to wait another 4 years before it's addressed?

Yesterday I had a match as a doctor and when there was 2 gens left I couldn't do anything at all, no hit no blast only walk around, but the ping was steady around 50ms and other players ping didn't change either. When everyone was at the gate I could hit and use power again.

I was watching a game where a huntress was stopping people from vaulting windows somehow.

I faced a Hillbilly who moved at chainsaw speed without using the chainsaw, and some friends faced a Spirit who could down two people that weren't even close to each other (?) with a single hit to one of them lmao.

Maybe I am lucky, all my hours with this game and I can't say I ever found 1 cheater

EZ Anticheat, the system that won't ban you if you essentially set a nuke off in your game but will ban you for changing how your icons look

I watched a hacker smash Spirit from behind, beat that.

The position in the Job Application would be called "Soul Guard."

I've run into several survivor cheaters, as both killer and survivor. One thing I notice is that they're getting sneakier. I had one that wouldn't turn on their speed hack until I wasn't looking, but when you see the person in their unique outfit go from one side of the map, to behind you, unhooking the fellow you walked away from, it gets noticeable.

I like that you even have Cheryls profile pic with this comment 👍

I think that most people would, they don't seem particularly demanding employers judging on the quantity and quality of recent content (as in the last few years).

Had a game a few weeks back with a Ghost Face who flew at lightning speed chucking a bunch of hatchets and downing people in less than a second. That was the only killer hacker I ran across.
Also ran into a fair share of survivor hackers as well.

You can correct this by recording games and posting them on through support ticket and reporting them in game. Unless the procedure has changed. I did indeed encounter a speed hacking health adding survivor. It was pretty silly incredibly annoying at the time but eh I summited the ticket so he/she is probably eating a ban.
edit do not name any players you see hacking it complicates the process and breaches forum and game rules.

In a survivor game I ran into a hacker on my team before I noticed I popped a styptic on them they took a hit got downed and immediately got up and on full heal I ended feeling bad for the killer and let him kill me I spectated the hacker and they insta healed a survivor without for the people then teabaged like they were good

I've done that myself, and when I see a cheater I can record my game on console but some people can't and the idea of recording every game you play in the off chance you run into a cheater is a tall order.

Such a team would be a massive investment for little return, on the behalf of BHVR.
To monitor every single game to watch for cheaters is an arduous task. The amount of people required to constantly surveil the games is ridiculous, especially since they may not catch any exploits by the naked eye. You would need more than one person per game, too, since there are many different things to watch.
Video game companies run on notoriously thin margins, and BHVR doesn't have the ability to fit all those jobs on payroll. It would be nice to have a dedicated branch, but I think that'll remain a pleasant dream, for the time being.

that's fine, like I said just an idea.

There is no question, there are tons of people abusing wall hacks as killer and survivor and it is not obvious to most people and very hard to catch.... definitely need anticheat to be updated and a team that also catches cheaters
