Can you still cheat?

Mesme

So I'm a tad bit salty but you can't really blame me for this and well this got me thinking and well is it possible currently to cheat in the game? I had a match a little while ago and sadly I don't have the gameplay recorded. However, I may see if I can find it again and post it either on YouTube or somewhere but back to the topic I had a game as a Killer where one of my survivors was just well what do I call it?

Speed hacking? They were too fast and I couldn't catch them period and after awhile they got trollish with it and I ended up just plugging the match because I wasn't gonna deal with it and this makes me a bit ranty on how these survivors were aiding this cheaters because I wasn't the only person who saw him go to 0 from 100 in a quarter of a second and no it want sprint burst he always kept moving way too fast and so I have to ask can you still cheat? I reported this guy for gameplay abuse but still I hope I will never see this again.

Cheating has always been possible. Anyone can do it. There’s his guy on YouTube that posts continuous DBD speed hacking tutorials on YouTube and the devs do nothing about it.

Banning doesn’t work on DBD so your report did nothing. They’re working on implementing a new ban system right now but I can tell it’s going to be #########.

There are alot of ESPs cheats out there, some are patched some are not, speedhacking isnt something that you meet daily.

Cheats and hacks are widely available and will continue to be a problem for this game until the devs actually tackle the problem head on, I cannot even suggest reporting because I have not heard of anyone being banned directly due to the report function.

Reporting works, don't pay attention to those who say it doesn't. To show that it does, a mod pin-pointed a single report and dealt with it in real time in another thread.

What platform do you play on ? On console I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hacker , only lag switchers

Speed hacks are a lot more rare these days, as devs moved some positional checks to host's computer.  Anything can and eventually will be defeated, though.  There's an Unreal engine exploit that sometimes looks like speed hacking, but generally causes more teleporting.  Your best defense is to always let lobbies count all the way down.  The free anti-cheat bypasses cannot keep Eac at bay for the entire timer.

OH, and Orion is correct, dbd has a new report team, who actually are looking in to things.  There has been a lot of hacked save files banned in the past few weeks, and let's face it, most people using active hacks have probably also hacked their saves.
