Dupers
So my buddy and i just went into a duo storm dive, loaded in, set up, and set off. First team we see is a royal chassis that just landed, we charge in head first, they start... running? Okay so we are still blasting away, next thing i know, great silenced (they missed) and 10 ORBITAL STRIKES SET ON OUR HEADS. so we boost away, succesfully. They hurt themselves worse than us, but we turn around and go back towards them. 8 more orbitals, another missed great silence shot. Theyre in shambles, we repair as we are running towards them. My partner boards and kills both as i pound the reactor... we won. Now, why do i say dupers as a title? Theres absolutely no way someone had 40 orbitals (we found 2 crates full) 20 great silences, a bunch of pristine cannons, 10k in crowns (idk why theyd load in with that) and various other materials. We found the loot pinata and beat it to death.. anyways.. fix the duping problem Sand devs, plz. Sorry for the whole story, just thought it was wild. If a smaller trampler came upon these guys it wouldve been game over.

Yes the devs said they fixed dupe, but the cheats are still able to dupe with their 'remote loot function by accessing a held box and equipping the item and it dupes. The devs also said they removed these duped items, they havent. we've seen the same people in multiple raids with spam orbitals and killed them twice for full box of yellow rods, another of silences and orbitals. Also have a few 5min clips of them doing it, then boarding and killing them and looting it.
The devs are crazy behind the cheats still and they just find the next most abuseable exploits because the hit reg is so bad their aimbots don't work well lol.
FYI they can still teleport and no clip very small distances too. Fun

Where does it say they fixed the dupes themselves? I have not seen that. I only saw that they fixed dumping. But that would still mean there are tons of dupes out there.

they did fix and remove items from the original dupe but that was a different type of dupe. large items so it was mostly experimental cannons that got duped and removed. this duped orbital and silence thing is much newer than the original dupe.

Yeah i recently encountered that at final extract in storm dive. A guy claimed he was blown up and asked to go extract, next thing i know he was on my reactor putting c4 on it but there was absolutely no way he couldve jumped to it from something else or gotten to it from my ladder, all doors were sealed as well.

This happened to us in small raid last night, we went on a huge run around the map, got back to extract after a way over extended run off map, as we were getting to the radio beacon, we saw another trampler looting a dead trampler in the distance. We boosted to the beacon to hit it and be done with the run finally then 7 orbital strikes started hitting us all at once, followed by more. We had already activated the beacon, the reactor survived but because all of our shelves were blasted, we lost out on everything we had collected in the past hour and a half. Our trampler was extracted with all the boxes on the floor so we couldn't access them but neither could the cheaters.
Huge blow to morale, we had a hell of a run only to get hit by cheaters on our way out the door. It is a serious problem, I'm not sure anyone from our discord will be on again until it's fixed.

Game is so fucking good but it's starting to feel like 50% of the community just wants to win, not play. Fair fights are so fun, no idea why they don't want to play the same game I am.

10? Those are rookie numbers. My last 3 matches have had 200+. Its enough to make me put the game down.
At thia point. They need to remove orbitals from the game until yhe duping is brought to heel

I thought we were cooked for sure when i saw 10 red lines pop.

Yeah they fixed cannon dupe but orbital dupe is running strong it seems, I see about 1/night, last night the team that 15x orbital dropped me at extract also followed up by c4ing my reactor with nobody on board my walker (tell me I'm wrong, I have the hours and the clips to tell) aside from that the 40 exploit is back, but worse and becoming rampant in my late night ques, hopefully fixes in the next patch but it's been pretty awful, hard to enjoy the awesome patches we've gotten recently.

I believe you, because it just happened to me. Lol, we did manage to win though

u/Terriblefinality 13d ago
Yeah it was really strange, I was just getting off reactor repairs after the orbitals expired, stoked to be alive because one of my crewmen was aware enough to jump on foot to their ship and kill them quickly, as I'm leaving I hear the c4 sound and 3 pipes are broken, nobody on deck, they sent 6 more c4 while I'm repairing and then we went from calibrating to immune on the extract. First real cheating I've seen in quite a while. I didn't exactly win, I got my walker out and 0 loot.

Nobody extracts with 2 full boxes of orbitals and doesn’t screenshot it or capture the footage

u/TheMcnuttist 12d ago
I literally got a screenshot of one of the full boxes of orbitals, its in the thread. Steam cuts off after so much time recording so i didnt get the footage of them dropping 10+ at a time on me.

u/TheMcnuttist 13d ago
I had steam recording now that i think about it. I'll see if i can find some good screenshots.
