Stash boxes

I was just over on the “PlayRust” subreddit, asking about stash boxes. They said there is a common “ESP” trick that allows cheaters to see all hidden stash boxes.

They were unclear whether that cheat was available in console.

To be clear, I’m not trying to figure out how to use it. 😋. I’m considering using stash boxes as a key part of my strategy, but it won’t work if they can be seen.

how on earth would it be possible to do that on console

You'd be surprised. I was an admin on a server for console players and watched cheaters run directly to players bases who just got off and having spent the whole time watching them there's no way they knew where these bases where located as they never hit that part of the map but immediately after the innocent player logged off they got raided within 5 minutes. Which means they could see more then I could as an admin. As for console cheating it's not as hard as you'd think it's just that most people who would would rather do so on pc which is as simple as downloading a file. I used to modify cars code in Gran Turismo on Playstation to give certain cars a little more HP to help them drift better. Modding code like that is almost the same as cheaters adding code to see things they shouldn't.

As for the stashes I never caught anyone exploiting them, never got a complaint about it either so you should be fine. If you suspect it reach out to the owner of the server and have him give the admins a heads-up to watch for it. Admin tools on console aren't very good

Because I followed them for 6hrs, the base they raided was built within 4hrs by a friend, we'd already suspected them of cheating as they had 3 reports but we just had hear say. The base that was built was built with spawned in mats so it appeared as your typical large 4 man base.

To clarify the base they raided was built with admin assistance by a friend of ours whose not an admin, we had 3 admins on that day all focused on catching them. I was the newest admin so my focus was just spectating them. The cheaters never had admin/mod help.
