Health Update? How About Some Anti-Cheat
I never used Lethal Pursuer because I find it to be worthless, but I tried it with the blood event, I'm trying random perk combos. With it, I'm catching SWF groups cheating. Almost every match is against a SWF group and almost every match with Lethal I'm watching Survs cheat at the start lol
I just watched a dudes aura fly across the map and onto a gen. Next match, I watch a Surv already on a gen the millisecond lethal activates at the start and then four seconds later when I roll up to the gen, it's almost complete. I watched his aura leave the gen since my lethal value wasn't even over yet lol No toolbox, no perk for gens, but the gen is almost complete in four in-game seconds, okay lol
I've also started using Franklins and Weave, watching Survs aura's moving super fast when they think they're out of sight, as well as Survs completely disappearing from aura reading even though they don't have distortion. Like I had a Surv who never showed up when they were smack in the middle of weave, no distortion or anything.
Facing SWF is already unfun, facing cheaters is even less so. Cheating at least can be managed in a SoloQ lobby since I can focus on others, but in SWF's its near impossible. Ya know, with this full aura build, I'm starting to assume that gens actually legit don't fly by THAT often and it's actually facilitated with cheating that the Killer would otherwise not be able to see or prove. I also see a lot of cheating when I play SoloQ, from my teammates, who move around super fast to be healed or prevent the Killer from hooking them or supply infinite blinds.
IDK BHVR, how about some development to actually improve this shoddy game and less of subpar DLC releases?

2v8 was also good for catching blatant cheaters with all the basekit aura reading. Tons of survivors just zipping around at 1000 mph.
Last night I was playing survivor and watched a teammate go down and then crawl at light speed away from the killer. Completely shameless.

Out of curiosity, what server are you playing in? Because I've been running full aura builds almost the whole event so far and I don't think I've seen anyone cheating. But maybe it depends on the server because I think cheaters are somewhat rare in Brazilian servers (or at least rarer than in other servers).
Nevertheless, BHVR should address this cheating issue asap. Because even if it's not at common in the server I play in, it's clearly very common in other servers, and especially for fairly popular streamers who often get targeted by cheaters. This has been the case ever since that infamous free-to-grab week in Epic Games. You'd think they'd have addressed it in some way by now.

This is why I don't take the game as seriously competitive as I used to.
I get annoyed though when I notice people speeding up a tad in order to get safe or I bait a dead hard only for it to be auto dead hard. The fact some can use wall hacks and the chances of finding out without aura is almost impossibly difficult to prove.
It won't happen but I wonder if having denovo would prevent it? They won't pay for that anyway.
Is what it is but I'm seeing an influx again though.
Had a Wesker earlier with 500ms ping. Like are they cheating or playing on the moon!

I never understood why people cheat at video games. It makes no sense to me because of you are that bad then don't play.

I was informed on a Facebook page that you can pay a low fee for speed and aura hacks. I mean I think it's time they get a little more stern on this.

Yea, I saw a lot of cheating Survs in 2v8, when I was both Killer and when I was a Surv. The cheating is rampant and there's a lot of Killer using aura hacks and there's a lot of Survs not only using Aura hacks but also slight speed boosts.
I do find it pathetic that BHVR has such a steep DC penalty system in place in tandem to a game with 0 quality control.

I think it's really pretty sad when the event is already clearly Survivor-sided, and yet some Survivors are still cheating. I will never understand, what, a whole mode in your favor wasn't enough?

there’s killers cheating too, you can see them doing it with certain survivor perks. They’re not even running auras but know at all times where people are. Yeah though they should do something across the board about all the cheating, it’s getting subtler but it still is happening.

Yes. They do.
But this thread is not about Killer players cheating, it's about Survivors cheating in an event that already favors them. Cheating is bad, but cheating when you have the advantage is even worse.

the killer was cheating during the event that I witnessed…and it’s not a killer that’s suffering by any means.

You appear to be missing my point. I am not saying you didn't see cheating Killers. I also saw cheating Killers.
I'm saying that it's much more upsetting when Survivors cheat in a mode already in their favor. It was crappy when Killers were cheating last Blood Moon too, when the mode was in THEIR favor. This is part of why events should not "favor" one side more than another.
Cheating is a crappy thing to do and cheaters in general are a-holes. Cheating when everything is already tilted to your favored side is another level of a-hole entirely. That's it that's my whole point.

Recently I had a Bill flying down like Mary Poppins to each of my gens I was working on. So stupid that they do that but it did look funny

yeah I’m not doing this with you when I notice cheating no matter which side I play. They need to buff the anti-cheat period.

I have started on gens before the killer has loaded in multiple times, sometimes other players load in much slower so I don't think that situation was cheating, just an unlucky load in for you. Flying across the map is certainly suspicious, but the aura reading disappearing isn't entirely suspicious. There are plenty of ways outside of Distortion to hid auras that may have been in play. I run Shadow Step pretty frequently and have been accused of cheating by a lot of people that run Franklin's/Weave because they simply don't understand what survivor perks exist.
There is definitely some rampant cheating problem though.
There is a cheater out there that has been streaming pretty actively with cheats on screen though that I'm surprised hasn't been banned yet, it definitely does not seem to be a priority. There's so many instances where your opponents in this game seemingly have perfect reads on you with absolutely no perks or abilities that should allow it.
