hi everyone. It might be a dumb question but after my last game someone accused me (I think it was me cause I was the killer) map hack and said reported. And I have literally no idea what that is. Is it is about game mechanics or a hack?

    Maybe you used a map offering?(which is not a hack), might've just been a salty survivor.

    Maybe he got stuck in a courner and you downed him

    But devs already said that this isn't bannable since its the survs fault

    Yeah I could have done that. She kept running to the end corners where no hooks were nearby. And I downed her there. Is that map hack?

    Not sure, never heard this "map hack" thing before, my best guess is that he/she got high sodium chlorite and tryed to make an excuse for hiding in courners

    I wouldn't worry about it, it's just bad survivors being bad.

    Carry on and have fun!

    Map hack normally has two or three meanings in dbd

    1. the illegal third party program that makes your enemies visible to you
    2. its also used as demeaning replacement for aura revealing perks such as bbq.
    3. that other dude was just a sore loser and seeked to insult you.

    That's from least likely to most likely, right?

    I've actually ran into a corner when a killer was working with a survivor to hook farm everyone else. The person even tried blocking me from running away from hooks so the killer could down me. So it's not just survivors playing cheap.

    For the person being described it's not a hack on either end and they still died.

    Ah thanks for clarifying since the comment said they still lost inferred they died.

    thats why it bugged me so much. The one who commented that and two other escaped. I hate to admit but kind of easily. I could only get 1k and that was because she was still after her healing points. Well we all know how that goes with NC.
