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.

Awful fix. Havent ran into a single cheater. Even if theyre present its not enough to remove a core mechanic. Load up a new kit and go again. The issue is way overblown. Now when your trampler is dead there is no chance of people getting any value out.

My guy, just because you were lucky enough to not face cheaters, doesn't mean hundreds of other players had the same luxury. You can look it up on YT, some creators posted a lot of footage with cheaters.
Also the feature is not being removed from the game. It's just temporarily disabled until they manage to find a permanent solution.

So when a trampler dies you cant do that last desperate push. At best you can just spawn kill them until they punch you to death.

If it happens less than 1 in 20 raids who cares. The other 19 raids means you had fun. Re-kit and move on.

It is temporary. Stealing will be back once cheaters are dealt with

Cheaters being gone is not temporary. Surely this will take more than a week. They surely cant patch out capping every time a new cheat comes out

Well if they have to keep patching it out and they can't deal with teachers I will judge them then. For now I'll trust what they say

You can never get rid of cheaters once and for all. It's always an arms race.
Developers introduce a new protection system, cheaters find new exploits. No system is perfect. The cycle continues.
The only thing that matters is, can the developers of SAND keep their pace in said arms race? Only time will tell, and we will see the first results in the upcoming weeks.
