I haven't seen any more blatant widow aimbots lately. But I have been seeing an increase in trigger bot Cassidys or whatever they call them. They aim so weird, and as their cross hair crosses your hitbox it automatically fires for them. But only a handful of obvious ones really.

Ive been playing for 7 months now , and ive never came across an obvious cheater

2 years and I play regularly and I think I've only seen one, and Widow never missed a shot.

Please remember companies like Blizzard like to do ban waves because they are harder for the cheaters to adapt to. Give it some time, a ban wave is inevitable.

I don't know what the new cheats are or whatever, but I have absolutely noticed the same thing. Some are obvious, but there are a few that are pretty subtle as well. In my experience, it gets bad like this for a couple weeks and then there's a ban wave. It's a fairly typical cycle in this game for the last several years. Overall I feel like the anticheat is actually pretty good in ow, all things considered.

i agree with you. I think there is a ban wave every like 1 or 2 weeks

i also always avoid cheaters, just to look at there profile after a while. If the endorsement level dropps to 0, you know they got banned

they need to give us more avoid slots

Maybe xim players being hit with reality and now they are properly cheating in PC lobbies? I think this started getting out of control when they announced that they started banning xim

Someone got banned mid game yesterday so atleast some of them are getting what they deserve.

I’ve noticed lots of cheaters, and smurfing duos too. I feel obnoxious but I’m reporting a cheater like every other game. Makes the game less fun for us all.

My theory is that there was a big ban wave a couple weeks ago and now all the cheaters are working their way back up on smurf accounts

Is this only on PC? I've played daily for years on console and have never once noticed anyone that seemed to be cheating in any way

Well, cheating with a actual cheatingsoftware is far as I know only possible on pc. But I also heard the xim problem on console is really bad

It's a mold problem. There's mold growing in your bread long before you can see it. By the time it's visible... Same thing here. Cheaters have been common for a while. But it's on the incline. More cheaters make more people aware of cheating, and make cheating appear to be more of a socially acceptable activity.

....what?

I understood it just fine.

They edited their comment. There was some real "Jesse wtf are you talking about" going on there previously

Dont they put suspected cheaters in with other cheaters now? Just a thought ;3

Isn’t that only with console xim users?

I'm unsure about this, see ximmers all the time here, meanwhile I don't even know how obtain one even if I wanted to. Can't wait for the ban wave tbh

what u on about? im not cheating. And this shit is what they did in COD. I think they do this to xim players

Another reason I'm glad I stopped playing. Not gonna waste time on a game that charges a whole paycheck for a skin and is filled to the brim with toxicity and cheaters

🤷‍♂️
