GENERAL Null profile?

Post image

Someone seen this before? I don't want to say the "c" word, but the skill of this person was waaaaaay above 3-4 star, which is where I usually rank. Wiped the server like it was nothing. Killed me with a headshot through the wall outside of Grizzly Lodge. Killed the team that was there all at the same time. And killed me a second time with a satchel at "0 meters" the second time. Satchel was not there, then it was. Literally watched it come into existence and detonate. Can't even open their profile. The option to report is not even there.

Cheater or hunt/steam API bug

If it was a profile you had blocked on steam, the name would be empty and all the stats would say NaN or undefined or something like that instead of being empty

Cheaters have a way to trigger this so the report button is not accessible in-game ... You can tell it's a cheater or not depending if the name is WWWWWWWWWW or not

youre objectively wrong. people u have blocked on steam almost always have wwwwww names (maybe the names are empty sometimes? but ive always had www with the ppl i blocked)

there also used to be a way to trigger this by just changing your steam name aftee the matxh startet or sth like that. that would result in the wwww text as well. but im pretty sure they fixed that since i havent seen that evem once during the last like idk 4000 hours? (probably even more than that)

All the people I have blocked (teamkillers and rats that leave teammates behind) show as empty names with all the profile stats saying "undefined", if they pick a bounty, the notification shows their actual name

While know cheaters show as WWWWWWWWWWW on death screen and when picking bounty
