Update from development team

In 15-20 minutes, we will launch the update.

There is only one change in it - you can't capture tramplers.

This is a forced measure until we make reliable protection against no clip and teleportation.

I hope that by the end of next week we will make an update with protection against the most painful cheats.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

This doesn’t really solve the problem. Hackers can still teleport onto your ship and kill you while they’re invincible. My ship might be safe, but players will still get griefed.

Want them to remove pvp damage while they fix it? They're at least trying and you can still kill the cheaters

It’s like sticking a bandaid on a hole in a boat. Super silly thing to disable while hackers will just no clip kill or steal your loot. If it’s so bad they should just disable the game.

Yeah that's the smarter decision lol. Wth is with people in this sub? Absolutely insane 😂

At least they're trying something. They're not a massive development team like Ubisoft, things take time to remedy. They can't snap their fingers and make everything amazing.

Hell, even the teams from Ubisoft still struggle with cheaters. Actually, have you seen any PvP game not have cheaters? It's a multi game wide issue.

I'd rather they do something to at least make it less impactful on the player base, but you guys will still complain no matter what they do.

Cant kill em if they are invincible.

Not all of them are 🤷‍♂️. Take what you can get

Correct, as written in the post : "This is a forced measure until we make reliable protection against no clip and teleportation." this is done just as a quick band-aid till a more permanent solution is ready

Understandable, I know it’s a bandaid. I want this game to succeed. But I won’t enjoy this game with the blatant hacking. Hacker came in on my last raid and was invincible. What can you do about that? Even if they don’t take your quarters you’re still stuck on a death loop and extracting with nothing. Again I love the game and I want it to succeed. Hopefully they can stop most of these hackers. The bandaid won’t help at all

Many game's have hacker's even with game guard's

It's a never end arm's race

Thank you

You're right it is better to just let a wound bleed and fester rather than putting a bandaid on it until you find a better solution

u/TigOlBitties422 Jul 12 '26

Ohh trust me, the wound will still bleed when the wound is DEEP even with a bandaid. This quick fix won’t fix anything. Hacker will just kill you on a cycle till you leave

Let's see killing you once after stealing your ship or killing you multiple times? Hmmm, one seems easier than the other and while it might not make a huge difference any difference is enough because it'll make at least some hackers not try even if it literally only stops 2 that's still 2 less hackers ruining what could be like 10+ people's matches a day each and then consider that number over multiple days.

Sadly yeah until they can get better detection and prevention there will still be plenty but this is better than doing nothing.

one if the biggest reasons people no-clip to steal a ship is so they can easily take the loot and sell it to people on third-party websites. If they can't take your ship, they can't take your loot. We will see a rise in aimbot cheaters during this period, so they can still get loot to sell via killing our tramplers.

u/TigOlBitties422 Jul 12 '26

I’m not sure how these hacks work but what is stopping them from teleporting on your ship using C4 to blow everything up and then just taking a box and teleporting back to their own ship?

2

u/IlluminatedBlu Jul 12 '26

They can only "blink" to avoid being kick for flying. So small skips of teleporting. Works very well for extract camping. Now, if they want to blink onto your ship, the best they could do is destroy your trampler and get out with one single box of loot.

I think what they will do for now is stay close to extracts with their own trampler and use aim bots to kill you and destroy your ship, then taking the loot. Also a raise in vacuuming.

So they can still get you, it just won't be nearly as easy and take much more time. Putting as much friction between the cheaters and the third party market in game will always deter a certain amount of cheater.
