If you’ve seen more cheats than usual in Escape From Tarkov, you’re not alone. Battlestate Games’ “Storyline Hardcore MMO” could be one of the most influential survival games of recent years, inspiring modes like Warzone 2 DMZ, an addition to the latest Call of Duty game. However, in recent months, the community has been inundated with complaints calling the current cleanup “worst for outright scammers.”
The death of suspicious opponents in multiplayer games is something we have probably experienced over the years, and Escape From Tarkov is certainly no exception, although the more constant investment in your downloads and the potential loss of hours spent playing these games more intense. the shooter-centric experience makes it even more boring.
On the Escape From Tarkov Reddit, moderators created a pinned post for players to discuss the “endemic cheating problem” in an effort to limit too many individual posts. In fact, this is already the second pinned post because the first one got too big after more than a week of discussions and comments.
Among the responses, one player commented: “I’ve only played five times, but this is by far the worst result for outright cheaters. I do my best to avoid them.” They describe an example of how they hid quietly in the bushes for a few minutes, but were instantly killed by a cheater’s aimbot when the hacker walked up the hill and said, “These people aren’t even hiding it and it happens multiple times a day.” “. . “.
“What’s going on with this game?” another user asks, “cheating has always been a problem in this game but that wipe was terrible, what’s going on with BSG?” Several responses point out that many scammers seem convinced nothing is being done to them, no matter how bad their actions. “It’s incredibly clear that with this wipe they decided they weren’t even going to pretend they didn’t care,” said another commenter.
Escape From Tarkov Twitch streamer and YouTuber Axel TV recently shared a video taking a look at the notoriety of cheaters in the current Escape From Tarkov wipe. He notes that the recent wave of BSG bans affected not only cheaters, but also players who bought items from cheaters, but “something needs to change to reduce the number of cheaters.”
“I’ve been crashing every day for a week or so, and I just want to speak out,” Axel said. It also points to a situation where an apparent scammer who was kicked out after killing a well-known Tarkov streamer posted a message on a subreddit warning other scammers not to kill big streamers lest they run into similar issues. Axel finally realizes that the developers took a break for the new year, but says, “That shit needs to be fixed.”
In response to a pinned Reddit thread, a commenter links to an article discussing a May 2015 presentation by game director Tarkov and Battlestate Games studio head Nikita Buyanov. The video is in Russian, but the user translates one particular part (around 39 minutes) where Buyanov explains how gamers often spend more on premium features when dealing with hackers, trying to counter their discomfort.
Among the translated quotes, Buyanov notes: “We are improving [cheating countermeasures] we regularly implement increasingly complex solutions, and we clearly see a correlation with a decline in premium purchases. It’s important to note that this performance goes back a long way, a few years before Tarkov first went into closed beta testing, and perhaps Buyanov’s views have changed since then. However, those sentiments still float clearly in players’ minds, as troublemakers run rampant in the game from their studio.
The new Streets of Tarkov map has had a mixed reception recently, with more promise but some teething problems as Battlestate Games says more updates are planned. Check out some of the best battle royale games on PC if you’re missing the thrill of a lifetime.
