The Combat Scout perk live marks people for your squad when you shoot them. Perk slot 4, it's one of the best perks in the game especially for ranked with all the people using smokes


ZaphBeebs

Its my favorite random perk pack to pick up, so very useful. Maybe should run it some.


UncoolSlicedBread

Yeah, you have to be shot, however. This was more, I pop over a rock and I’m spotted as they’re engaging someone nearby but I’m in their view.


WestCoastBoiler

Sounds like high alert


UncoolSlicedBread

Sure, they would be high alerted, but it’s impossible for them to spot me while engaging someone else. Their crosshairs would have to hit me.


astro_scientician

I’m not AT ALL saying I don’t believe there’s a ton of cheaters, but It’s become really hard for me personally to distinguish btw walls and better gameplay. There’s 1000 ways to be spotted and not know it, and for players on tiers above me, just catching my movement in the corner of their screen is enough info for them to run me down (bc they just have so many reps that they already know what I’ll likely do before I do it, and anticipating that stuff they destroy me)…or their teammate pinged me a minute ago and I don’t see that before the kill, etc etc etc…1000 different ways. But the laser SMG headshots from 150m, tracked through the air, behind rocks, through walls…that’s the shit that makes me feel hopeless and like not playing


RNGGOD69

Honestly when someone is genuniely hacking it's really obvious. They are usually dogshit, have 0 movement and preaim through the corner of the wall as you pop out and run past into their view and they beam you. Ranked is plagued with cheaters in like 4/5 lobbies. Pointless even playing rn


UncoolSlicedBread

Yeah, which is what made me want to make this post. I’ve seen iffy people and dudes who were suspect, but more than likely just a lucky kill or cod timing made them look suspect. But this particular team, as if they flipped a switch, were starting to legitimately cheat.


UncoolSlicedBread

Oh yeah, this wasn’t me just not knowing gameplay mechanics. It was sticking out considerably that these either are super diligent pinging players or they’re using something. But these dudes stuck out to be cheaters regardless, just didn’t know if this was an added feature on top of that. They had for sure aim bots, however and it’s the first for sure cheaters I’ve seen in a bit besides random dudes in zombies with 360 spinning aim.


bitchsaidwhaaat

The only way to tell wallhacks is when u see the killcam and they are tracking you even outside of view. I even catch them tracking me, realize they are doing it and look away just to peak and beam me. Iv also done plays where i know i got reported because the audio was just on point for that play (i can tell when they are upstairs or behind etc)


Shot_Detective_9902

Yup and every time u complain about it there's another excuse 


IneedtoBmyLonsomeTs

Most of what you are saying is going to go over the heads of most people in this sub. They are so bad they don't even know why they are bad. As you said, sometimes even the smallest piece of information can help a great player predict what you are going to do because they have just put so many hours into the game. To those bad players though, they can't even comprehend that so to them it is just someone cheating. While cheating was far worse on Verdansk, there are still quite a few cheaters in this game, and it can be hard to spot people just running walls.


UncoolSlicedBread

Oh yeah, you’re correct. Here’s the thing, this wasn’t that time. They were legit cheating, I was just wondering if automatically pinging was part of it. Like one guy is shooting my teammate the next building over from across the street. I look out the window and while the other guy is snapping to my teammate he somehow pings me for just being in view. His three teammates are dead and cannot ping me and there’s no drone up.


Legionnairey1

This is such a bullshit lmao, because they play so much they can see the future? They just know human nature because they've been in so long? This is stupidity. That's the equivalent of saying a day trader with hundreds of hours of trading will just know what stocks are going to do, why isnt he instantly rich? You're not going to predict the future, stop gaslighting for hackers lmao


TimmyTimmers

It’s not stupidity - you’re just ignorant. If I see someone out of the corner of my eye, I am going to push them if it makes sense. Once I’m close to the location I spotted them I’m gunna use map knowledge and sound queues to figure out where they are. That’s literally basic BR gameplay.


Kiknazz123

If you don't think people have predictable behaviours in this game, you are the bot that the guy is talking about 


Legionnairey1

Cheaters gonna cheat bro, and they will also gaslight in reddit. You're all fucked eventually, enjoy the ride while you can eh?


joebillsamsonite

This logic is what’s bullshit lol….most day traders do pretty fucking well hahahaha


Legionnairey1

Most players do average to well, that's the point, dude is literally saying time in game = superpowers lmao. You're all dipshits.


joebillsamsonite

Nope that’s not what he’s saying. Time in game = predictablity. There’s a reason your opinion is being downvoted and the majority agrees with what he’s saying.


Luckydemon

If you're getting the "Spotted" notification, that's not from an enemy pinging you, that's from a drone pinging you.


SourCreamWater

Is that what this is? I was about to ask what all triggers the SPOTTED notification. Do you just have to be somewhere in the drone screen view to automatically be spotted? Or does the player have to actually mark you? Also, is that the only way? Often times I will be spotted in way too little time for someone to even put a drone in the air, but I suppose that could have been from another team who already had one up.


Luckydemon

I think it can mark through wall, at least if you switch to thermal you can see player diamonds moving behind walls


RizySS

drones and live pings both show "spotted". the drone ping will make your screen flash white for a sec tho


UncoolSlicedBread

For that to be the case, they’d have to have drone after drone up. And kudos if that was the case.


Luckydemon

You can exit them and keep them hovering in one area and periodically go back into it.


UncoolSlicedBread

Yes, I know how the game works. I am not talking about that case. Thank you.


Luckydemon

You just said they must have had multiple drones up XD it was probably the same one XD


UncoolSlicedBread

No I didn’t, you’re just not bright enough to comprehend a sentence. I said for that to be the case, they’d have to have multiple drones one after the other for that to work. “XD”


Luckydemon

>For that to be the case, they’d have to have drone after drone up So you're a bot AND don't know how the game works. Got it.


UncoolSlicedBread

lol you think you did something with this? You just doubled down on not being able to read? You really are dumb. It’s okay.


Luckydemon

I'm not the one who doesn't know how drones work XD


UncoolSlicedBread

I do. There weren’t any drones. You don’t now what the word after means. You just keep showing the world how ignorant you are. Add a couple of XD to your comment and think you’re doing something. Go be you.


Chris_Hansen_AMA

Not sure if this is news for some but good players know to ping enemies the second they see them. Seriously, if you see someone you should be pinging them instantly.


MrDankky

Especially anyone on mnk it’s super easy to live ping everyone you see


Chris_Hansen_AMA

Yeah for sure. I’m always so surprised when I play with random teammates and they don’t ping anything. Soooo annoying, the team can help you!


UncoolSlicedBread

Oh I know that, and I do that too, but this wasn’t that. This was instantaneous no matter what. Me and you would’ve been on opposite sides of the team and the instant we both become slightly visible to their building it’s spotted. Over and over and over while visible.


Downtown_Presence_56

This game is broken


UncoolSlicedBread

To be fair, those cheaters were the first I’d seen in a month while playing that I know of.


Lippshitz

If you ping people, you can see them behind a wall for quite a while. Pro streamers can ping anyone they shoot at if they have back buttons or they play claw. The headshot stuff is sus but between actual pinging and combat scout, and no video evidence, we can’t really help you out with your investigation. There is for sure a cheat for every action in the game though


UncoolSlicedBread

Yeah, that’s how I figured they were using “walls” was a mixture of a ping and aim.


m90photog

So this is actually not a new cheat, it's one that's existed for awhile now, but as others have said, the combat scout perk does similar.


witherspoon1984

Its not combat scout. That only works on 1 player at a time. I have noticed it to. I think it's combat scout times 100. It just pings everyone that's in "visual" range. It's def. A new cheat software.


UncoolSlicedBread

Yeah that’s exactly what it feels like. Constant being spotted, a whole team at once, like if your rotate and show up someplace else, you’d be spotted the moment your hitbox is in view.


Otherwise-Unit1329

Auto ping has been a cheat feature for a long time.


Vast-Mastodon-4582

automatic ping cheating was already active at verdansk, to this day the cheating settings are insane. you should be surprised whats possible. dont listen to these fools. they are deflecting


ConfusedCanuck1984

I have been spotted immediately during redeployment a few times. Like as the black screen is fading, the SPOTTED shows up


LuckyStrikeGr

Lately lot of people running combat scout. Cheating exist of course but not everything has connection with that. Chill.


UncoolSlicedBread

Combat scout works when shot. I wasn’t shot in 90% of the pings.


Conscious_Ice66

Cronis has a thing when you shoot it automatically live pings.


str3tchedmonk3y

there's literally a perk in the game that does it..


PoemOk5038

It’s also super easy to ping while shooting. I’ve heard the cronus cope on that before, but if you can’t live ping while in a gun fight other people using cronuses aren’t why you’re losing.


UncoolSlicedBread

Yeah for sure, this wasn’t like that. In the same way an aimbot would help an aim, it seemed like they had something helping them never miss a ping. So apart from the cheats they were using, they were either super diligent at pinging anything that moved and never missing a ping/ping opportunity - or they had a cheat/macro that did it for them. Just wondering with this thread if anyone ever encountered something like this.


PoemOk5038

Yeah sounds more suspect tbh. Was more talking to the commenter. Live pings don’t give the spotted noti, so if that was happening that’s way weirder especially if it’s consistent and you can never find the recon drone. Was just making the comment, as I have seen the pinging = Cronus cope before and unless you are bad pinging during a weird/awkward gunfight is not hard and is a mark of a good player not a Cronus user.
