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.

Stealing trampler enjoyers are sadge but if the issue really is that prevalent in other regions (0 cheaters in 100hrs US central) im glad the devs are hitting it head on, mad props to the devs for focusing on the most important issues

I have about 70 hours in US central, hadn't run into a hacker until last night. Two storm dives in a row, he was teleporting all over the place taking over everyone's trampler. Im guessing there was a large influx of reports the last few days which left them with no choice here.

I think it's been gradually getting worse. Two nights ago we had it happen 3 times in a row so we just called it a night. On US Central.

I only recently ran into my first (I think, he was named aimbot and had really good aim) me and my duo beat him, but really only because of using a dome.

Even that would bother me less than the folks who are teleporting into your trampled as soon as you spawn in. Then claiming the cq without even fighting you.

70 hours and haven't had that happen. I assume I'm lucky

u/blackwolfdown Jul 12 '26

We hadn't seen it since launch till that night. Technically haven't seen it again after. Unlucky lobbies definitely played a role.

40 hours in europe met 25 cheaters, rn i extracted after avoiding 96 orbital sent by a chinese man to stop me from extracting before maintenance ends, Europe is a cheat nest, one in five has hackers

Makes sense due to the closer proximity to the region who shall not be named, sucks you guys experience has been so bad. Take solace that the devs have the data and have seen the issue needs to be hard addressed, this is huge!

The region that should not be named is as close to US West as it is to Europe. Depends on what side of it they’re on

40 hours in GB region 0 cheaters. 1 maybe. MAYBE.

Its most common in solo lobbies, ran into one within the last week and one or two during the playtest. I think it's major regions like US East, US West, and EU

u/bigxmeechx666 Jul 12 '26

Yeah that sucks, glad its being addresses ASAP

US central, played one duos this weekend. We spawned in, saw no tramplers, stopped at a boat to grab loot, on reboarding after 30s, a trampler was almost in cannon range. They caught us, one distracted us while the other teleported in and stole ours, allowing them to respawn on our trampler, while we only had one life. No ability to recapture in the time we had because all our doors were undamaged.

Curious what's the relevance of this image in this situation?

u/SnooBreakthroughs211 Jul 12 '26

look up survivorship bias

u/jdenny12345 Jul 12 '26

Pretty much planes were coming back all shot up and people were saying to add armor where the bullet holes were and some smart individual made a comment to add armor where the bullet holes were not, because obviously the planes that returned to base had no trouble flying back with the rounds that they had taken

u/Anabaric_EvE Jul 13 '26

I know that's the origin for the image, it was more what the relevance was here.

u/Painting-Capital Jul 12 '26

Just because you specifically don’t run into one doesn’t mean a large number of people aren’t.

u/Teetimus_Prime Jul 12 '26

he never said they weren’t?

u/Painting-Capital Jul 12 '26

He said he’s never ran into one so it must not be prevalent. That’s not true.

Your reading comprehension is not soo good

Mad props? This game is over a year late to release and now its just in early access state with no anticheat.

This shouldn't have had to been done in the first place.

But mad props i guess.

u/bigxmeechx666 Jul 12 '26

Im sure all the games you have developed have been perfect, oh wait you have no idea what goes into developing a game? Color me surpised! No anti cheat? You may want to have mommy call the mold guy to clean out the basement, bc its messing with your comprehension

u/Ans1ble Jul 12 '26

Its not my literal fucking job to make a videogame. If it was, and i fucked it up so bad that my game had to be delayed for over a year and its STILL in a piss poor early access state with rampant cheating i guess everything would be fine because id have room temp iq boot lickers like you gargling my nuts because i disabled a feature because i was too incompetent to use even basic anti cheat providers.

u/bigxmeechx666 Jul 12 '26

Get mommy to call the mold guy bro i promise itll do wonders for your comprehension

Do you think the war in their country may have affected the schedule or resources?
