Matchmaking locked cause of cheater
I just had a game where when we spawned in, we got teleported to the basement and killed on hook, and when i got back to the lobby i had a penalty?? why? so i get a cheater in my game that instakills me, and that gives me a penalty?

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.0 -
I’m convinced this rise in cheating is in protest to the AFK penalty.
I had a killer yesterday who just ran up the stairs and off the balcony of Eyrie until all the gens were done - it’s not going to make any difference.

That player was most likely just farming the Deadly Plunge achievement, which requires you to fall a total of 1000 meters. It's an achievement that was added with the Doomed Course chapter.
I've done the same thing at least twice, Eyrie main building is a really nice spot for that.
The AFK penalty can stay imo. Don't queue up for an online game if you're not actually ready to play.1 -
That killer was grinding the new achievement where you have to fall a certain distance. Eyrie main building is a popular spot to gain progress.

Idk. It's sounds like bhvr is banning the wrong people if there are so many hackers these days. I just casually scrolled down fhd forum and seen at least 5 posts about hackers. Have fun in the fog lol

I had the same killer! Unless we were in the same match! (This always makes me excited at the prospect of being in. Match with someone form the forums!)

it was even more posts, at one point the forum guy just removed every new post.

Yeah I had the same with a Nurse that already had me on her shoulders when I loaded into the match.
Someone said to get into a locker to avoid the penalty but I had literally no time to react and I was on a hook before what was happening really registered in my brain lol.
On the positive side, I reported them as did the rest of my lobby and I guess they were banned the next time I logged in as I got a notification action was taken. Doesn't help with the penalties though if you get more than one in a day

apparently it’s bots: yesterday I had the nurse who auto hooked everyone and the killer was a TTV player. But when I went to their channel they were live and actively playing as a survivor in a match. So it couldn’t have been them. It’s very strange.

Hackers are impersonating casual players and streamers with low numbers. Happened to me.
