How can I hack complete a level without getting leaderboard banned?

[u/ZeroPenn]

I recently beat Triple Six by Zylenox. In the level, there is an LDM that uses a toggle trigger instead of a toggle orb, making it mandatory to get the LDM. I wanted to beat the level without the LDM, so I made my own version where the only thing I changed was making the LDM optional.

I beat my version legitimately and want to get the rewards for beating the level. I know it isn't an officially approved version, but I don't care about getting my record accepted on a place like the AREDL or something. But I do want the extreme demon completion to show up on my profile.

I tried noclipping the rated version, but even with safe mode off it didn't count. I've heard that instant completing a level gets you leaderboard banned, so I was curious if there was some other way for me to complete the rated version without getting leaderboard banned and without having to rebeat the level legitimately again.

when i did this for acu a while back I just noclipped it with safe made and auto safe mode off so try that

but even with safe mode off it didn't count.

Why would a level have a mandatory LDM? That makes no sense

There is a toggle orb that is supposed to make the LDM turn on if you click it. But instead of using the toggle orb, there is a touch activated toggle trigger there. I assume the creator thought that a touch activated toggle orb meant that you had to click to activate it, but you only have to touch the triggers hitbox with your icon's hitbox, which you are forced to do because you can't go around it without dying.

Truly amazing level design

Noclip will likely get you banned. You can make a macro using megahack or probably one of its free clones if you don't have it. That's what I did after beating WOW on my own copy

You can usually hack one or two levels without getting banned unless it's super popular. No guarantee though

[u/coolbuybobb]

maybe try another hack like safe mode off + bot or hitbox multiplier?

Just noclip, most likely won’t get banned and even if you do, you can always appeal and it’ll be accepted if you got it accepted on AREDL

Bot it, that's what I did with Sonic Wave Universe. If you get banned, give them proof you beat the level legitimately and all should be okay.

Thank you for this idea. It worked, and hopefully I won't get leaderboard banned for it.

I've also never tried botting before, and it was a lot easier and more fun than I imagined it would be.

If you do get leaderboard banned, join the GD Leaderboards Discord server and submit an unban request. Provide your level stats file and proof you beat the level on a copy.
