Killer cheater insta kills everyone 5 seconds into the match

Hello,

its happening more and more often that i get games in which a nurse typically insta kills everyone on basemet hook as soon as the game starts, with everyone dead in 5 seconds. Then we get returned to lobby and have a cooldown on matchmaking. Last time it did give me a 15 minute cooldwon already.

Is there any way to counter this? Does BHVR know about this?

Its really unfair to get a cooldown after being matched with a cheater killer and then have to wait until can play (hopefully) a normal match.

    I ran into the same cheater twice yesterday but never suffered a DC penalty.

    This is maybe because I was able to move a bit before being caught. I believe that if you get grabbed and hooked immediately, before pressing any buttons or doing anything, the game thinks you were AFK and applies a penalty.

    Just report the account, with video evidence. This hacker is not-Steam and probably has tons of accounts on Epic so it's an uphill battle, but every account that gets shut down is a win.
