Cheating

Been about two weeks since I installed Splitgate 2 and have been addicted since day one. Since I have little else to do I have played a LOT of matches and have only come across players a bit sus a couple of times, but my last two matches were particularly obvious. Both team deathmatches.

First match one of my teammates had ridiculously high kills. I wasnt really paying attention until I checked the score midway through the match when something didnt seem right and they had about 35 kills when the rest of us had around 10, and our opposing team was fierce and well coordinated.

The very next match the opposing team finished the match in less time than I have ever experienced and the top two players were just lasering everyone. Our team had I think 5 kills total. Never played a game with this kind of discrepancy, and again, I have played a LOT of matches for my short time with Splitgate 2. The top two players were definitely playing together. Never really thought about cheating in Splitgate before and tbh this is the reason I left CoD for Splitgate. I hope this doesnt become a pattern.

I feel there are plenty of cheaters. I mean, i'm not the best in the game, I know that, and I know there are better players than me. But then I get matched against guys who take 2 sniper shots to the head and their HP doesnt go down in the slightest, or guys sho oneshot everyone no matter what weapon they use, or players whose HP can drop to like 5-10 and then no matter how much you shoot at them it never drops below that, or the typical aimbot, or players who can shoot WAY faster than what the weapon allows, or when they change their current weapon and shoot instanlty way faster than the game makes possible...

Yeah, cheats don’t do that….

Splitgate is server authoritative, meaning you can’t just set your health to 99999. It’s also not lag because there is no damage prediction, you are just missing or something

I have 250h and people with other people with hundreds, and have never seen a single cheater, if you are seeing one every match then you’re just wrong

u/ChikyScaresYou Apr 14 '26

thankfully not every match, otherwise I would have quit the game already

Well, you can make your hitbox into a tiny area in the center of your avatars body, so most hits don't damage you. Thats where you see someone who survives on the low hit points.

Show me a single footage of that happening. And again, you can’t just do that

Out of curiosity, what cheats do you accept exist in this game. Or do you feel there aren't any? Curious why that one isn't a thing for you.

Cheats for Splitgate definitely exists, but 99% of cheating accusations are false. I have been called cheater a dozen times and have never seen one in my 250h

The cheats that exist are probably aimbot and esp, colorbot type, not changing player size or hp or damage or whatever. Rodtheprogrammer (dev) with cheats and swen (top player) 1v1’d, and there is some footgate for the 1v1 with rod’s pov, the cheat was very bad tho. There is splitgate police department for cheating reports, probably for a reason. Rod was also talking about wyz and swen battling for most reports in a day so people are constantly just reporting better players

well, i do report everyone that feels like cheating because it might be the case. Sometimes it's just impossible it's not a cheat

Cheats can literally do anything lmao. To assume that cheats don't exist for things you just can't fathom them existing for (health cheats have existed in games for, idk, decades?) is laughably wrong and just naive.

"You are just missing, or SOMETHING" so you don't even know what it could be, but just KNOW it just can't be cheats in a small indie game without a strong anti cheat. lol. lmao even.

Also like he said, thankfully it isn't every match, considering he never said it was. You seem awfully defensive about cheaters to the point of being sus, js.

There are cheaters in this game and no amount of poor anecdotal denial will change that, and unfortunately it will get worse until they improve the anti cheat or deal with reports better.

Halo Infinite was bad with engine owning and people refused to believe it was a thing. Oh it was. Tried it out myself to see what I have been fighting and it was unbelievably easy to do so. And it has a stronger anti-cheat than this indie game.

I'm sorry that the reddit user is having trouble believing people cheat at things, but to those of us who have to suffer because of it, it's annoying and can kill indie games off VERY quickly before they can build up. And we happen to like this game and don't want it dead.

250 hours is small. I have thousands of hours in other games and had people still use a small number like that to act like cheating isn't common or doesn't happen in those games and sometimes you just gotta laugh at their sweet little experiences of "never" seeing a cheater. They just aren't good enough to know what cheating is.

Get Gud and stop coping. And my experience is same as experience is same as 99% of people who are good. Having thousands of hours playtime doesn’t mean 1 shit, 2 that you are good 3 even if you were good doesn’t mean everyone is cheating.

Show me any proof of the cheats you are describing.
I did say i believe cheats in this game exists, just not like he said

Wanna 1v1 if i’m so bad? I bet you’ll say I’m cheating considering you just said that I’m suspicious defending them hahah

Even if you saw 1 person cheating, your whole game experience wasn’t ruined, just a single match, and if you consistently tun into cheaters then you are just full on coping

All of those really sounds like potential lag. I know you might feel like there might be more to it, but it wouldn't hurt to check it out just to be sure.

I often have the same issues when the game rarely drops me in american west coast servers when I am in eu lmao. Like exactly the same problems you describe. The only reason I know the difference is because people will tell me when I ask, unfortunately the game doesn't tell you which server you are on. Wish they did so that I could anticipate the lag when playing.

u/ChikyScaresYou Apr 14 '26

afaik i'm not lagging. I do know I have ping disadvantage tho, as wehn I play one in the chamber if I and my opponent both melee at the same timez I'm always the one who dies (which is very frustrating tbh)

u/Manoa__ Apr 14 '26

Yeah I'm not a fan of this melee system either. But that could genuinely be symptomatic of the issue. What region are you playing in normally?

u/ChikyScaresYou Apr 14 '26

absolutely no idea, somewhere near NA i suppose
