    Report them in game so there is a match ID.

    Then from the drop down on this site

    https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

    Select "Additional Player Report Information".

    He was on my lobby, but left with his friends after 5 minutes of waiting. I still has his steam profile and screenshot from the lobby and more proof.

    If people can hack Legacy into the game, then there is nothing stopping BHVR from restoring my lost Legacy.

    @Peanits @MandyTalk

    Can we have clarification on this?

    I also have someone who has legacy (his account was created after the cut off date)

    Can we still report someone for hacked legacy even if we didn't manage to play a match with them but have their Steam 64ID?

    The problem is that this guy doesnt have his own screenshot using legacy, which were used as proof for my previous legacy hackers report in the past, i hope some mod appears here so we can talk about that.

    If you didn't report in game then it's too late now.
    There is a reason why screenshots and steam profile is not accepted anymore.

    How to report them in the lobby?

    Why they don't bring back the legacy skins is beyond me...If it really was as grindy as people make it seem, just have them unlock by prestiging further then p3.

    So many people want them, myself included. They cool AF.

    I haven't prestiged anyone yet, as I'm still on my teachable perks grind. But I'm probably just going to stop going for Blood Points so hard once I get everything and skip the bloody skins. They not cool AF.

    If you hover your mouse over their name, in the post game screen, there will be an option that either lets you give the player props or report them. You'll need to manually search up their STEAM ID and manually type it into the report before you leave the post game screen.

    Since I record every match I play, I also save a Twitch Highlight of what happens and include the link to the clip in my report as well, for further proof.

    I don't even want them like the bloody skins i'm sure it just makes you a target in the game.

    I don't really mind that.

    But in any case, I think it could go both ways. A killer sees bloody or legacy skins and avoids the target because they know they can loop, compared to someone in a vanilla skin.

    If I play as killer and see two survivors, a blendette and a bloody jake or whatever, I'm 100% going for the blendette.

    I don't really mind that, the game isn't much about hiding and avoiding the killer when playing at higher ranks. Tracking perks and know-how killers make it suboptimal, and you don't get gens done by hiding.

    Either I'm in a chase or I'm doing gens. With that being my playstyle I don't really need to be able to hide. Besides, I don't know if my team knows how to extend the chase effectively, in my group of friends that I play with only two of us know how to do this. Staying hidden until you get found just to figure out that someone wasted all the pallets also sucks.

    I'm surprised that people care so much about others legacy skin. I mean, it's not like that they have used speedhack or similar and destroyed your match lol

    It involves editing save files, which means they've also probably cheated any items/bp they have, which shouldn't be done imo.

    Yes, you can. As long as you've got a good reason to suspect they cheated, we would gladly take a look. Just keep in mind that achievements alone are not enough for us to ban them. They can be a good indicator, but there's a whole list of issues with certain achievements not going off when they should.

    We can check save files through the backend, don't worry. You don't need to have a video of it.

    The cut off date for Legacy was November 2016, right? The guys Steam achievement for creating account was "Been A Steam Member Since September 2017" would that be enough? He hasn't even had his steam account long enough to have legacy.

    It would be. At the very least we will check it if you send it in. If you've got a reason to suspect they've cheated their save file, you can report it. It's when someone's just throwing a hundred darts at the board and hoping some of them stick is when it becomes a problem.

    I've seen a bunch of these and almost all have close to the same date when I've reported them for account creation.

    Achievement hackers aren't hurting anyone either, but they get VAC banned either way.

    Really? That's such a waste of time to hunt achievement hackers lol, who cares about others achievements?

    Achievement hacks and Legacy hacks are the result of hacked safefiles. It's safe to assume that those players also hacked the lesser obvious things like items and bloodpoints while they were at it, which has a big impact.

    Unless you think an endless amount of items, add-ons and offerings have no impact?

    And if we're honest, no one likes hackers, doesn't matter how far they went. Do it the legit way or get banned.

    Idk tbh, I verse moris and the strongest addons, insta heals, flashlights and keys so frequently at red ranks that it doesn't matter for me at least. But I see where you are coming from.

    If they're legacy hacking they';re almost always hacking bp and items/addons as well so they're ruining yours and others fun then.

    While I can understand that point of view i'm thinking more of the average or newer players since those players aren't going to be adapted to it like the more experienced players are. Thus not reporting someone allows them to ruin way more games.

    @weirdkid5 Same... I lost all my progress like a month before Legacy was out and not achievable... And so I literally had no chance of getting Legacy because they gave me the bloodpoints I should of had back around Jan 2017... (Yes I know this is an old post... But it just makes me sad that DbD made me lose Legacy...)
