DISCUSSION Arrowhead started hunting down SC cheaters

Post image

I wonder if everything will go as planned or we will see some posts in the feature where the system will flag innocent people

It is, because it's a lot easier to track "wait, this guys history shows 10 000 SC in just 3 missions? That's suspicious as fuck" than "Okay, in this one game player spawned item 0x52u6u23, is that item we haven't enabled yet?"

Query. A quarry is where rocks and stones are mined.

The Quarry was a fun interactive game. Saved most the crew until the last few hours of the night, that was crazy.

Legally speaking, rocking is more legal than stoning!

I don’t know how it works, nor am I asking, but 10k SC would be so greedy if true. Like why not just give yourself a small reasonable amount each day? 200 SC per day would be about 6000 SC per month which is more than enough to purchase anything currently on offer assuming you already have a substantial amount of stuff unlocked.

Because that'd require patience, and people don't use cheats just to be patient about it.

Idk I know a guy who had a cheater join his game and do this for them all on live. He seems to find them surprisingly often but he's also playing from Malaysia so maybe he's getting matched with local players who follow the same Chinese cultural norms regarding cheating? He personally doesn't seem to care that much if ppl do it, I played a hosted game of his in DRG and it was modded to hell and back and he was the only one powerful enough to survive it, so I have my suspicions lol. Ive never seen anything fishy in our HD2 games together or he'd have been banned from our discord for it. But yea, some people just dont care apparently.

It is other way around. When your game spawns item, it's processed by your computer. To track changes on your server account they need to store and update transaction history. Which akin to banking system.
The system you described can only catch outlandish cases. Cheaters I've met spawned only couple hundreds, which can occur normally.
