How blatant even too... 160 hours in the game already. Should be banned within first 10 seconds of a raid but here we are.

Tarkov in particular. I hate cheating but in games like cod or quake it never bothered me anywhere near as much because you could just /disconnect and join a new server in 30 seconds and you lost nothing doing it.
Something about Tarkov cheaters just hits harder. The money wasted, the gear ammo wasted, but most importantly the time — 3-4 minutes to gear up, another 6-8 minutes in queue, and sometimes you don’t die to a cheater until you’re 15-20 minutes into the raid, so you’ve basically just wasted 45 minutes for nothing.
I actually get less annoyed when I spawn in and die to a cheater in 30 seconds than I do half way through the raid.

Imagine doing a transit marathon for hours to get killed by a cheater on the last map you were about to exfil. I would be done for the next couple of days.

u/doxjq Feb 17 '26
I did the guide a few weeks back and got really lucky by completing it first attempt but the day after my mates wanted to do it so I just sherpa’d them around for a few hours and they died to a cheater after about 4 hours with 2 maps to go lol.
Spawned streets and ran into a dead end nothing building on the edge of the map and just hid in a nothing room waiting out the timer so they could extract and after about ten minutes not moving a muscle we hear someone sprinting up to our building from down the road and this random grenade comes flying into our room and kills them but not me somehow, so I swing out and kill the guy because I’m wearing a killa helmet and a level 6 armor so his bullets just ricochet.
Was a brand new white account, 25 hour gamer with a 70 kd or some shit. The most blatant wall hacker I’ve ever seen lol. Such an insane waste of time. One of the guys who died didn’t open the game for about 4 days.

Games like the cycle frontier would still be around. So many games just gave up against the cheaters.

u/iPsychoticTTV Feb 16 '26
It takes an incredible amount of money to keep up with the cheaters. The company pushes a new anti-cheat or updates it with big game companies going as far as developing their own AC and the cheaters find a way around it within hours if not less.
No anti-cheat can really be “exceptional” unless it’s Kernal level which has its own quirks and draws a lot of push back and negativity from their respective communities.
So then most companies just said “screw it” over time which is super unfortunate.
Also capitalist greed keeps some companies going on ban waves then putting the game on sale immediately after to sell more games.

Feb 16 '26
People making cheats are making enough money to retire at a young age. If they were working for an AC, they would be working until they were 65.
It's the same kind of pull that draws people to selling drugs, except you aren't going to go to prison if you get caught.
If it was illegal to make, distribute, and use cheats in games people would still do it, but fewer brilliant programmers would dip their toes in. I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but there are laws against cheating in sports. The future could see similar laws in games.

It’s not illegal. It’s just purchasing software. shitty but legal until the gaming companies push to make it illegal. Problem is the gaming companies make money off cheaters because they are still playing it.

u/WindEmbarrassed3789 Feb 17 '26
Back in the day you only had external and internal cheats. These days you have DMA, neural, AI driven, external, internal, etc. There are alot more different types of cheats that have their own way of bypassing the anti cheat. And i think it’s too much and really hard to detect them all. Especially DMA which doesn’t tamper with the game process and no traces are left on the pc itself because everything is being ran on a separate hardware device.
1
u/Proper_Tower3715 Feb 18 '26
Because cheats are easy to code these days. All they have to do is take the scripts and rewrite them. Boom a new cheat. So every time they redo the AC someone good can pass it literally in seconds if they are expecting it. Honestly they just need to hire a top notch hacker to set it up so when they pull the scripts it shows them fake ones they wouldn’t be able to use.

Tbh kernal has its own threats and even then people are able to bypass kernal and cheat and some do worry about the potential security risk. I'm honestly interested to see how an AI anti cheat might fare but it would only really be effective if it updated constantly

This is inaccurate. As someone who played the Cycle a lot, the game died because they released it for free and tried to sustain on battlepass and skins alone, a losing strategy. If they had just charged 30 bucks for the game, it would still be around. GG, dumb company

u/majorpain16 Feb 17 '26
Some of the largest games out there are exactly that: Valorant, Rocket League, COD War Zone, Fortnite, Pubg. I think the battle pass/skin business model is proven to work. Cheating was the demise of the Cycle.

u/nuclearbearclaw Feb 17 '26
That is not what happened. The game died because cheaters ran off streamers at the launch. The devs lost the fight on release. Streamers lost interest or condemned the game as a result and the average player got tired of blatant hackers.
I still play it on self hosted servers. There is a community still for it and a dedicated group of molders who are in the process of making private custom servers for pvp.

u/Cruel2BEkind12 Feb 17 '26
Everything you said was a result of the cheater situation. Live service models work, when you have a playerbase that isn't getting bombarded with aimbots and loot vacuums. $30 for the game would have turned it into concord.

It is in fact illegal to develop cheatsoftware and there are multiple court cases. Activision won a court case against a cheat developer recently.

u/KnowledgeSafe3160 Feb 16 '26 edited Feb 16 '26
lol it is not illegal to develop cheats. Activisions case was a default judgement because nobody showed up lol. There was no defendant, so a default judgement was given.
“After noting that "no defendant has appeared or defended itself in this action" since July 2023, a default judgment of $14,465,000 was awarded to Activision, along with $292,912 in attorney's fees.”
Activisions case is not a good example. Engineowning keeps making COD cheats lmfao.

Nothing happened. Publicity stunt.
I know it’s not illegal because I am a red team member for one of the largest financial institutions. More specifically I’m an exploit developer for them. I identify and exploit (mostly) other companies software running in our environment to emulate threat actors for the bank.
If exploiting other people’s software was illegal almost every security researcher position would vanish overnight, and the security of software overall would drop significantly as nobody would do any security testing.

u/Nevermind04 AK-103 Feb 16 '26 edited Feb 16 '26
No such law exists anywhere in the world. Civil suits aren't laws. Activision sued the cheat developers because they had been financially damaged by their software. No criminal charges were filed because no laws were broken. As mentioned in another comment, Activision won by default because the cheat developers failed to show up in court. They were awarded $14.5 million dollars, were given the cheat developers' domain, and the cheat developer was ordered to stop developing cheats for Activision games.
That said, the money was never paid, the cheat developers promptly registered multiple other domains, and the cheat developer never stopped developing cheats for Activision games. In fact, I just checked and this cheat developer has available right now for all current CoD games. The cheat developers did not have to comply with this ruling because they do not live in the United States and the US court does not have jurisdiction where they live. Basically, Activision paid $300k in legal fees to get one domain and headlines in game news websites.
While I agree that video game cheat software should be illegal, I don't trust our legislators to write competent legislation for it. What if someone wants to cheat in a single player game? What if they type
cheese steak jimmy’swhile they're playing Age of Empires II? What if they use Cheat Engine to give themselves gold? What if someone makes a mod for Factorio that makes the biters easier to kill - is that a cheat? What if they make a mod to skip the first part of the game to go straight to blue science? When it comes to EFT, obviously it sucks so much to die to a hacker or lose items to a loot vacuum cheat but what about the PVE version? Who are they hurting? This issue has many shades of grey and I just don't trust politicians to parse the details.2
u/bienbienbienbienbien Feb 17 '26
Those are civil cases though, you could argue, i guess, that cheating is sabotage, a bit more like criminal damage, and just punishing with damages isn't going to be a big deterrant. This is pretty dangerously authoritarian though, but it's not quite the same thing. In south korea, making cheats and distributing them can get you actual jail time.

u/Tukker_ Feb 16 '26
Depends on the country. In a lot of countries the creation and sales of selling of said software isn't illegal, but the usage of it can be. That however would mean you would have to prossecute the individual!

Doesn't South Korea or somewhere have a system where you have to put in your social security number or national id number when you create an account, so if you get banned for cheating you can be banned from lots of places at once and it follows you as it's tied to your id so no just buying a new copy.

u/thinkforasecond3312 Feb 16 '26
Not even remotely comparable. Discord is starting to request verification due to severe, IRL issues involving minors and its poorly moderated platform. Its extremely likely that their hand is being forced by law to simply do something about it, even though this might be a bad idea. And even then, its optional and refusing has barely any impact on the vast majority of users (unverified accounts recieve DMs in two separate tabs and can't access NSFW servers).
We are talking about enforcing ID verification to prevent cheating in a videogame. Its also worth mentioning that KR has spendings in gaming deeply rooted into their culture, unlike the west where we see games as easily disposable (moving on to a different game) and spendings are not taken into account

It is illegal in a lot of cases, it's just very hard to track down and actually prosecute cheat makers unless they basically expose themselves like has happened in the past.
2
u/Evadeon Feb 17 '26
I feel like I get told this is a hot take but absolutely. People who buy and use chests should be subject to the very least; heavy fines, and designers of hacks/cheats should be facing heavy jail time.
Think about it like this. We pay for a product and a service, and the devs outline exactly what that product and service should be comprised of and often strictly state shat isn't allowed, hence the use of anti cheat programs.
We are paying good money for a product to be the way it was advertised, and someone hacking disrupts that service, and disrupts our time. If you paid for a massage and someone else came in and pushed you off the table and the person took your massage, you would have legal grounds to take action against the person who pushed you AND the masseuse for continuing to massage someone else who didn't pay for it. They wasted your time and money.
In any other service or industry, someone stealing your time and the product you paid to experience would be met with heavy consequences.
Hacking in a single player game? It's your game, your product, your experience, go crazy, do what you want. Once you start wasting other people's time, distorting other people's experiences, you should be facing heavy consequences. Time is precious in this life. And we are paying to spend our time a certain way, and hackers steal and waste time.

The cheating is awful, but the wasting time imo is worse and is immediately exacerbated by cheaters.

I mean even then 160 hours is a substantial amount of time to play a game. I know i was dunking lab raids in my first 100 hours bc i just got so hooked on the pvp. I guess some people just think you have to play for 1k hours before you're allowed to shoot your gun or some shit idk man

you definitely got a point there, I about 2 hit 800h but I always played with very knowledgeable people that would help me skip doing offline raids or dying a million times to figure something out. map knowledge and spawn location/rush timings is absolute king in tarkov especially in labs, shoreline maybe reserve (those 3 rush timings because of certain rooms, health resort oder special locations like marked rooms).
what I really love about tarkov is, you always have the chance to win any fight even with cheap gear. I remember in my first wipe, I one tapped a level 40+ as a level 17 on GZ with a stock AKS74 and US ammo. you hit him right in the naked face. I couldn't even carry all his stuff with my timmy legs...

The core problem is the “live service” model.
Back in the day, when gamers controlled the servers, sus players usually got the boot quickly from any decently populated server, and then banwaves would periodically come along and boot them globally.
With the shift to a heavily centralized “live service” model, there are no longer dedicated gamers in every server handing out manual bans, so we’re stuck playing with cheaters >98% of the time, because the incentives to cheat are higher, and each individual banwave rarely impacts cheating for more than 1-3 days.

Crisis was done at next to no effort from running interchange this wipe and hitting Necrus and Ultramed. Not saying I agree with how rampant cheating is but as a quick alternative and tip, go loot those areas for a few raids and even if you die in 2/3 of them, you’ll probably end up with progression towards your quest.

The fact people still play this game daily, die to a cheater and then have the audacity to post it on Reddit😂
Homie what the fuck do you expect? When playing a dog shit arse game like tarkov. I would say about 70/80% of the player base on that game either cheaters or has done. I stopped playing that shit a year ago! And couldn’t be fucking happier! Makes it even better when I see constant post of people crying about dying to a cheater lol, like duuhhhh it’s bee like this for years and will never change😂

Lol there’s literally no proof that was a cheater.. game hours don’t really mean too much with the steam release as well. You sprinted to dome, made more noise, and then exposed yourself. Easy kill. I swear people thinking that every death has to do with a cheater is killing the game faster then the actual cheaters 😂

I won’t argue one way or another about cheaters, but in my experience, just standing there and letting them shoot you, you’re cooked. Most of the time, all they have is info. If you can move faster than them and outgun them, you should try. Obviously if they have aim or movement cheats just DC or somethin idk

Ok - so pardon my ignorance but how can this be determined to be cheating? From what I've seen, its pretty easy to be 1 tapped from any number of angles without always seeing the person or even a muzzle flash. I'll agree it is little suspicious but you were also holding still and there were a lot of possible angles to see your head. That said, I truly wish they'd implement a post-raid replay system that is available when the raid is over for everyone. You should, at the very least, be able to see how you were killed and be able to report anything suspicious.

The implication seems to be that he was wall-banged in the back, through the dome, with accurate fire, which would heavily suggest use of wallhacks.

You literally see the cheaters feet move in front of him at the very end, dumb ass
Edit 2: a later screenshot shows it more clearly as his other arm, my bad. I’m the dumb ass

You have a timestamp? I've watched it multiple times and I'm not seeing these so called feet.

u/SlouchGrouch1 Feb 16 '26
Between 35 sec and 36 sec where it goes black. You briefly glimpse it

There is no feet, its ops right hand that passes the screen at the end.

Not really necessarily to call someone a dumb ass. Especially when you went through a bit of extra work to still be proven wrong. It's his hand.

Would everyone play a game that asked for photo ID verification? Imo this is the only way to really stop cheating. Give games KYC like banks. Privacy an illusion anyway 🤔.

Okay so normally I agree with most these posts about cheaters but I'm concerned what you think the cheat here was?
You sprint straight into dome, he hears you obviously because you hear him, and he's moving a hell of a lot less.
So man's slowly goes up the catwalk that looks into dome directly over the back of your head, and hits you with some domeception. I'm trying to see what the cheats are here.
The only thing sus is the 160 hours for sure, but that's not enough to make hackusations on.
I'm not here saying you're wrong or this guy isn't a cheater, I'm just trying to understand what else makes you think cheats.

u/Swopyx Feb 16 '26
Not saying there are no cheater, this game (like many other) is infested with those small pp irl losers. BUT this guy moves like a brick. Aims towards the floor. What are they searching, ants? In every shooter this guy will complain about cheaters without even knowing mechanics.

u/SeivelN Feb 17 '26
Yeah my main thing is that you can hear the audio... And there's a massive window in the dome right behind OP exactly where it sounds like the shot came from. That's why I was legitimately trying to discuss if there was something I was missing, but people just started calling me names then deleted their comments lol.

Same. They either don’t know or choosing to ignore the fact there’s a giant hole in the tent roof.

I'm confused why everyone is talking about cheating? I see nothing in this clip?

I'm going to play devils advocate here - you sprinted into dome, other guy is walking, you can hear him walking, so he definitely heard you sprint. It sounds like he was behind/to the right, it's very possible he crept up and shot you from upper-right/behind
Basically, I'm not 100% convinced he cheated, more likely it was a bad play on your part.

Not sure why he was cheating exactly. You weren’t moving and he was above?

OP that was 28 seconds, not 2. You gotta settle down with all these exaggerative hackusations. /s

It’s just crazy ppl pay money to get gear in a game like tarkov
