So how does one report wall hackers?
Pretty much the title. They are impossible to prove outside of guessing.
I just faced a Deathslinger who kept ping ponging to us from across the map, slugging, and aiming from behind walls, hitting us perfectly when coming from behind them. There is no way one can just go from injured to injured person without any guessing, just straight up going to the exact location, while also preparing sights from behind a wall for maximum surprise.
But outside of guesswork, what else can be done against these hackers?

First off, check what perks and add-ons people run. One time I got called cheater while using the perk Spies from the Shadows as killer (bird perk) that detects the exact location of a survivor when they scare a crow within 32 meters I believe (maybe 36)

Even if you 100% sure they're wall hacking - you can't.

I lilterally just got called a wallhacker ! It's a first for me haha ! On my first game as Nemesis no less. I was running I'm All Ears and Lethal Pursuer...

Well that's the deal. The had no detection perks. Only slowdown. Yet, they were perfectly capable to pin point everyone's location non stop.

Sadly we don't have a replay system to see each player's POV in the match. You can't tell if someone's wallhacking or not :(

How to report wall hackers? Complain about destruction of public property and point at the wall. This will show 'em!

It would be difficult, unless you have a wall-hack perk showing the killer obviously wall-hacking on video.
I've been accused of wall-hacking a great many times, even while using one or multiple detection perks.
But even without these, some survivors can't grasp the fact they didn't invent a mind-game that hasn't been tried thousands of times before.

tbh with so many aura reading perks its almost impossible

Me too. And it swells my stony killer heart with pride when I get accused of wallhacking and can then point at the Garish Makeup kit, Amanda's Letter, Awakened Awareness or I am all Ears :>

So this killer had:
Plaything
DMS
Tinkerer (ONLY ONE GEN GOT DONE!!!)
STBFL
Outside of tinkerer, that could absolutely not pop considering we only once got a gen to the threshold, there were no detection perks.
There was no way on Earth that guy could just down someone, walk directly to the other side of the map in the most random corner, hit someone, then when the person goes behind a wall, this guy perfectly readies his sights to the exact position of the survivor to shoot from behind a wall instantly. After that, they imediatly zoom to another ranodm corner where they have no issue once more downing a survivor.
I think that passed the limit of luck/guessing.

Well, yes, as you describe it and with this loadout it sounds like that Slinger was wallhacking. Hackers are a sad reality, but luckily they aren't in every game.
Let me tell you a story:
There were once two monks wandering the country sides when they reached a river. The rain had swelled it and flooded the ford. There was a frail woman who couldn't traverse the still strong water, so she asked if they could carry her over.
One of the monks shook his head in decline, stating that it was forbidden for them to touch a woman.
The other monks handmaiden this away, picked her up and carried her over. There he dropped her to the ground, bit her farewell and the two monks resumed their wanderings.
The next couple hours the one monk glared at the other and every now and then shook his head. When they finally camped for the night the one asked the other "what troubles you, brother?"
"It's that woman that you carried over the river. That wasn't allowed. "
The other monk nodded and said: "I carried that woman over the raging waters and dropped her at the rivers banks, but why are you still carrying her with you?"
So my friend, don't dwell on it and move on. BHVR is working on a solution to the hacking problem, if it will work out of not, you will always get that one game that rubs you the wrong way. But at its heart DBD is unconquerable and will always run wild and free. So don't try to hold it tight, let it run its course and enjoy the fun rides while not letting the bad ones weigh you down.

Hackers calling the wallhacking legit mode in dbd. Knowing that its very hard to prove and get banned for it

He shoulda just played demo. Demo has a legitimate wallhack lol.

Wallhacks are basically impossible to "prove" with third-person footage, which is also why they're the most popular "subtle" cheat. For experienced players they are fairly easy to notice, such as with survivors playing tiles in ways that would get them mindgamed all the time (rather than sit at checkspots where they can react to you with good timings and view angles, they sit dead in the middle of the tile where they can't see anything but still always have maximum distance whatever you do), or with killers going for the most unintuitive pathing/predictions or of course just finding you in places they have no business being. If you are experienced and good at the game, you will have an intuition for these things. Problem is you can't get a wallhacker banned manually since there's no guarantee even with multiple highly questionable instances.
I know for a fact there've been wallhacks around for years that are still not detected by EAC. We have to hope that BHVR improves their anti-cheat measures significantly, and/or that they work on a replay system, which with cheating could be much more readily identified and reported.

I think a major issue with hacking is that I'm pretty sure they can't do anything about yotube videos showcasing hacks. I was disturbed to have a video about modifying files and cheating recommended on my recommendations a few months ago. That's when it struck me how easy it is to access these things.
Isn't sharing hacks actually illegal irl? If it isn't, it certainly should be. There's no reason I should ever have a hacking tutorial pop up in my recommendations without anything I can do about it.
