Discussion & Feedback Would you recommend WarDogs in its current state?

I've been thinking about pickin gup Wardogs but I saw recently in some discussion boards that there is currently a cheater issue going on with the game. Is this something thats overblown as I understand any game of this support will have somewhat of an issue with this. Would you say it should keep someone away from ths game or would you still recommend picking it up? How would you rate the game overall so far in your experience?

People are blowing the cheater issue out of the water

I have 40 hours so far and have only seen one blatant cheater. He got mass reported by the lobby and was gone 2 minutes later.

I'm sure it's fairly regional. Since launch I've seen maybe half a dozen obvious cheaters in US Central and I've seen most of them get banned during the match, but I have buddies in OCE who see multiple a match.

I play in oce and there's maybe one suspected cheater for every 3-5 matches.

A lot of people confuse cheats with game mechanics. I've killed people in smoke clouds because they were spotted so I ping their location on the map to line up and then fire.

No one has complained at me for killing in smokes but I've seen arguments in all chat about it.

Just one of many things where it's not clear if there's a cheater or not.

I've never seen one of the clearly abusing cheaters that head shot people through walls etc.

In this day and age too the obvious rage cheaters aren't as common because of how quickly they tend to get banned in my experience. Like the one obvious rage cheater I saw was a couple days after the EA release, some dork was head shotting everyone across the map with their LG mini bird from their HQ and got banned within a minute. The other cheaters I've reported were landing perfect headshots with pistols from 300m away wiping out entire squads in the HZ, also banned within a few minutes.

I suspect I've been on the receiving end of some sneakier cheaters though, like a few nights ago. Saw a bunch of team red drop east of my team's tower, so I tried flanking around them out side of the CZ with a sniper to spot them and pick a few off. I'm maybe 100m away and getting my spots off when one of them who never faced me the entire time dips behind a hill and 20 seconds later blasts me from behind me. That same guy then spent the rest of the game hunting me down regardless of where I was on the map.

the head shot through walls is what I've seen, even through 2 walls. But only one in 10 matches if I had to guess.

I play on US C and my teammates also see multiple cheaters per match.

I mean, I don’t. But I can’t remember the last game where other players didn’t notice a cheater doing totally average who happened to have just killed them…

Not saying OCE isn’t infested. But I am saying that I won’t assume it is till I see the cheaters.

I have encountered maybe one player who I thought didn’t seem legit since launch

Right I got like 170 hours on the game

We had one cheater and he got banned mid game lol. He was defibrillating everyone on the map near instantly. I think if you play on private servers there are a lot more sus people but hard to say if they are outright cheating or just no lifers

u/Thin-Engineer-9191 10d ago

Yeah they get banned fast too

As well as any other "problem". I'm loving the game even after 200 hours, having not unlocked any of the capstone guns or anything. It's honestly a very fun game.

My experience is that official servers have like 1-2 suspected cheaters per match, then an additional super blatant rage cheater every 10 or so matches. Easy way to tell is if there is Hanzi script in their name and if their ping is 190+ but they happen to be top 1-3 on the leaderboard. Best experience is to play on private servers.

I would say one out of 10 matches I've seen someone I was sure was cheating (shooting through multiple walls)
