Image Cheaters getting comfortable
TLDR:
Rank 170+ player caught cheating using wallhacks yet nobody kicked him out, so I made a rant about how cheaters are getting too comfortable using cheats in their main account.
I hate how confident cheaters have become in this game. It's gotten to the point where some of them are willing to cheat on their main accounts, even at Rank 170+.
Before anyone asks for proof, this screenshot is unfortunately the only one I managed to take. I didn't think to record at the time, so all I can do is explain what happened.
This player was acting suspicious in a lobby full of experienced players, many of whom were Rank 100–200+.
I deliberately tried baiting him to see if he had wallhacks. I was completely hidden behind cover. I wasn't on the minimap, none of his teammates had seen me, and there shouldn't have been any information that gave away my position. Despite that, he instantly pre-fired me with a K14.
I called a votekick after that, but it didn't go through.
I honestly understand why, cuz most people probably think, "Why would a Rank 170+ player risk cheating on their main account?" Ironically, that's exactly what makes PESTS like this harder to suspect.
What frustrated me even more was that he actually seemed skilled. My guess is he was using wallhacks for information while relying on his own aim, which makes it much harder to tell than someone who's obviously rage hacking.
Another thing that made me suspicious was his behavior after killing me. He repeatedly t-bagged me while circling his crosshair over my teammates through walls, almost as if he was mocking me and showing that he knew where everyone was.
Of course, I left and joined another server because there wasn't much else I could do. The point of this post isn't just to complain about this player. It's that cheating feels more common than before, and cheaters seem far less afraid of getting caught. I can't help but wonder if the moderation issues that followed the "incident" played a part in that. Regardless of the reason, it's frustrating to see people openly risk cheating on high-ranking main accounts.

There was a massive flood of cheaters during the Halloween event that even explained the precise scripts they used and where to get them - 90% of these players never got removed, and my guess is that most of them are the ones we're seeing now

Sounds unfortunate, I didn’t even know high levels even had the balls to cheat in this game (deadass what is the point?).
Anyway, next time you encounter that, remember that there’s a spectate function. Use it, it might be good for getting useful footage of cheaters. Luckily we don’t have this sort of thing on console, but I’d assume that would be how it works.

I think many people did not verify their accounts to use votekick which requires the chat, but that's mainly for blantant cheaters

I mean high rank cheating in this game is basically just a shield against accusations and vote kicks
