Just curious, but how many times as killer have you been called a hacker?

This just happened too me when I was Spirit, got called and reported for being a hacker, even though I had Rancor and could also use my eyes, but it got me wondering how many times killers are given hackusations. I assume it's a lot since people get really salty, but I hope it's low.

    Every time when matchmaking decides that some poor r20 has to join my lobby and in game I find them from corner of the map with BBQ.

    Been called a hacker a few times, mostly for BBQ and Chili. Also when it’s rank reset and I get matched with low ranks survivors and I hit them with hatchets from far away. I pretty sure auto-aim wouldn’t even work with hatchet travel time lol

    Hasn’t actually happened in awhile. But I’d say about 10 or so times I’ve been accused of hacking because I wasn’t running aura perks and there was “no way” I could’ve found them with deduction skills. I’ve also played a lot of swf games where I had to convince the others the killer wasn’t hacking. People have trouble accepting their faults, it’s not something we can fix in a day lol

    Was called a hacker because I was using maa with all speed addons as hillbilly. Memories 😁

    I don't usually play killer so never been called a hacker. But, I do get called hacker once last month as a survivor on Osmund versing ghostface. Reason being I was able to "see" him every where he went and knew when he was nearby. I mean, I should not pay attention versing stealth killer when you obviously approaching me from the open and break you you out of shrout whenever I got chance, right? I must be speed hacking because you can't get me for at least 1 minute looping a safe pallet, and then going down at said safe pallet to cover the track that I'm hacking, right?

    I get called hacker because I can find survivors without bbq.

    Ironically I have had this so bad.

    I have been called a lagswitcher due to bad latency.

    I have been called a wall hacker for the general finding of survivors healing by a pallet/generator/hook.

    My huntress has aimbot according to like 50% of Red Rank survivors.

    Same here, but it's because my aura reading perks work. 🤗

    I got called hacker 2 or 3 times as Nurse, because I managed to blink right on top of them with no line of sight. I mean, what do you expect if you are just running away in a straight line after completing a generator/unhooking?

    Edit: Red/purple ranks btw.

  • George_Soros

    At least a dozen times. Make it over two dozens, if we include "LAGSWITCHER" :)

    A near hackusation when playing old (pre-rework) red paintbrush freddy. On the Game.

    They asked me how I got rid of my terror radius. Funniest thing ever.


    One other one is when I was playing Legion (surprise) and KI showed me one in a locker (a survivor I wasn't chasing at the time). They said there was no way to find them in a locker like that and I shouldn't've known they were there.

    Not nearly enough times to boost my ego.

    Maybe thrice total? Recently I was accused of lag-switching. It's extra funny because another survivor from the same match actually became friends with me after I 'lag-switched'. The accuser also admitted that he had once been banned for toxicity for 300 hours, so it's cool to hear that reports work.

    A few times already. If u r good at Huntress you probably get a lot of "crosshair cheater" comments.

    Playing on Xbox, I get 'reported' when I grab them out of the hatch. Use perks over tier 2. Let them run straight at me and impale themselves on my knife. I gave up a while ago and turned my settings to friends only.

    3 times so far, 2 were even posted on my profile :p

    Uhmm, 3-4 times?

    I went completely private-profile really soon after the game released though, so who knows, I might have gotten ten times that.

    Once

    I was using nurses calling on pig.

    They said my tracking ability was suspicious

    Everytime I see a survivor with red ping in my lobby, I just prepare myself for the "lag-switcher" accusations that are gonna be in the endgame chat. Maybe leave the lobby and find a new one if you see your ping is 500, dont blame me later on cuz you stayed. I dont have the ability to kick you out of my lobby if you have ######### ping.

  • ShyN3ko
    ShyN3ko Member Posts: 1,616

    4 times.

    Always as Doc.

    And 1 time as Pig

    "Teleport hacker"

    or

    "How do you know where I was without BBQ, stupid hacker"

  • RoKrueger
    RoKrueger Member Posts: 1,371

    Once or twice. I let them think I hacked just to mess with them. I get usualy called a camper and tunneler but that's because I actualy stay near a hooked survivor or try my best to eliminate one of them as quickly as posible.

    Ha, it's like they don't know all the perks or what they do! XD
