Smurf Account Influx?

I've been seeing a lot of smurfs the last day or two. Usually the original survivors low or no prestige with basic cosmetics, but once they get in the match they have full META perks, OP items, and run every tile like they can see through walls. Is there a free weekend or is this just the current way of trying to mess with killers?

  • Well it's possible that an experienced player could just be playing a survivor that never really use. But it is a thing to appear to be a baby to either not get dodged or to ######### with the killer.

  • I used this a lot latly, because i prestiged a lot of my chars to get the perks on all of them, and then used the low prestige chars to use up their good items and bp offerings. once they are cleared out, i go back to my main chars, because that way i have a better overview on what items and offerings i have, because i only have to switch to 7 chars instead of all of them.

    Its possible that they could actually see through walls, thats a very common cheat that can be really hard to detect, unless you run a very specific killer build.

    It's ridiculous how bad the cheating is. Just left a trial where 2 survivors could pass right through you, instant heal, always appear in just the right spot for flashlights saves, pop gens in 20 seconds, etc.

    All hackers get banned sooner or later,probably using a new account to hack,with all items unlocked,it could be possible.

    The subtle hacks are hard to detect,because there is no replay system so you can replay a survivor gameplay then report it for hacking.

    Honestly it would make such a huge difference if a replay feature was in the game,it would be impossible for hackers to get away anymore

  • I have noticed this too, private profiles are always a bit of a red-flag for me. Even more so, if the profile isn't private but is a low-level steam account with only a handful of hours on DbD, yet they're playing like they're a DbD legend then I can't help but wonder if it's a super survivor bot (or another kind of hacker) or a smurf.

    Exactly, i only detected some wallhacks because i was playing scratched mirror myers, and i could see them repetedly counter my movement throug a solid wall, (i didnt have a terror radius).

    That's 100% wallhacks

  • I wouldn't say that, you don't know what map he was on or anything and Myers sounds like he's breathing through a megaphone, it's very possible to outplay a scratched mirror Myers because of that and because he's so slow
