Are there such things as damage hacks?

I’m curious…I saw something really fuzzy…this Nader was killing me with the Crotz in litterally 2 or 3 rounds…I took a single round and lost nearly half of my health as Bushwacker.

I thought maybe it was lag at first but it kept happening and happening with just this Nader…no one else at all…which is odd if it was a lag or sound delay shouldn’t I have seen it from others?

well i died from 1 bullet from caulden while playing stoker.
turns out if you spectate the guy, he actually shot so many bullet but the game gave less animation for it.

It was only him though, I don’t understand why no one else would give me this error except him…the last one where only on bullet took half my health…the Nader was on the run and so was I…they didn’t have the time to unload all of those rounds on me.

I ran into a match a while ago. Attacking on underground, this clan was all on one team defending with three rhinos. If that wasn’t bad enough, they somehow managed to instantly kill me at any distance with a minigun. It wasn’t that two were shooting me at once or whatever, they’d literally kill me, Stoker, in under a second from the other side of the map with a minigun.
I’ve played this game long enough to know when something’s off, so there’s clearly something. How they actually do it is beyond me though.

There was this one hack where people would just move their crosshair over you and you’d instantly die but I haven’t seen it in quite some time.

Also since the MOFO patch I’ve sometimes noticed people suddenly dropping me from 100% health to 0 nearly instantly (like in the time I can fire just 2-3shots) but I’m sure it’s more of a hit detection issue since it’s happened with players who I know are legit so maybe it could be that?

I can’t be bothered diving too far into it, but yes there is such a thing as damage boost hacks, and they are pretty common in Dirty Bomb.


(Mc1412013) #8

I swearbetween anther player and i landed about 20 head shots from me and a few up close kills from him on this one player that didnt move but not only he had a high kill rate but a 1 death count as no on could kill him


(Wolf_Darkrose) #9

from what i know. its like most first person shooter. you shoot of your end and they shoot on there end. then the server makes up the rest in between. so NEVER trust a hit marker unless your enemy is around your ping area.

rhino is a sniper, you need to accept it


(Szakalot) #11

stick to minlvl servers to not see any hacks EVER


(Press E) #12

These guys were actually higher levels, I think anywhere form 20 to 60?

I don’t like 6v6 that much though, so I usually don’t play min level 10.


(Szakalot) #13

guess its region dependent. i play minlvl servers in EU exclusively, and see maybe one hacker/year, with one suspicious person every few months


(pumpkinmeerkat) #14

Sometimes it just seems like the game/server isn’t doing a very good job indicating you are taking damage. Doesn’t seem necessarily ping related either.


(Press E) #15

Well when each member of a clan of 3 rhinos can kill you instantly with a minigun across the map, it definitely means there’s something

Not denying damage mod cheats. I’ve died from a single m9 shot across the map more than a few times :’(


(KUST__LunarTM) #18

I really don’t like threads like this that encourage conversations about hacks/hackers. It brings about too much of a negative attitude towards the game and it’s players.


(B_Montiel) #19

From a EU point of view, most of the time I see weird damage distribution, it’s mostly caused by ping, tickrate or packet loss issues. So first of all I think it should be mandatory for anyone to have access to a server region with a decent ping and good server connection. So far there are very hard work to do about this which has never been done yet.

I’m not denying those cheating issues that certainly exist, but right now it’s very hard to make a proper difference (I’m not talking about blatant hacks though).
