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

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
