I was in a match in trainyard right now and there was a hacker headshoting us from one side of the map to the other side of the map. I reported him and I think that only one guy reported him also.
They enemy team didnt try to kick him or even write us something, they just said haha and get rekt.
@Eox @RazielWarmonic
I found a hacker that probably made some players in my team quit the game. Maybe they will come back to play maybe not, and you are with the hacker on the same side?
There is literally a pinned discussion thread for this, its the second one down. Also its a forum rule to not name and shame.
You should do it through the official nexon one too if at all possible

@AnotherGuy Please do not make comments like this. The no naming and shaming policy is in place for a lot of reasons. Partly because this is a f2p game and changing your name is easy, partly because you could change your name to a known player and cheat and suddenly videos/suspicion could pop up if there is little things like checking exactly which account it is not being done (common), and partly because a lot of people who cheat WANT to have their names thrown out there. They want to see people upset because a lot of people grief and they want to see the results of their griefing. They love the public rage videos on youtube as well as it validates their time and they show them off on their forums. Also, there could be some law related issues as well for a company like Nexon or Splash Damage.
So there are a lot of reasons why you don’t do the name and shame thing that has nothing to do with being on the side of the cheater. Report them in game or through the web portal and they will get attended to if they were indeed cheating. Of course I’m sure some people will respond to this and say, “this person is still cheating they’ve never been banned”. In that case my response is, “welcome to free to play gaming where you can make 50-100 steam accounts and cheat on half of them all while using the same name”. It’s a constant battle and the community has to help just as much as the game devs/server providers AND help in the correct way.

Is it possible to ban their ip in free to play games? (just asking).

The problem with banning IP’s is that IP’s are not static and assigned to any one person due to the way most ISP’s dynamically assign IP addresses and the fact that a lot of them don’t have long lease times. ISP’s like to charge extra for static IP’s so this is intentional behavior on their part despite how bad it is for gaming in situations like trying to remove a cheater Most of the people cheating also know how to easily change their IP address.
Also, there is something known as hardware mac banning that identifies your PC. However, it’s incredibly easy to change this at will on any operating system due to all of us having admin privs and it being fairly easy to change what the OS believes is the correct value for certain pieces of hardware (and no secure way to query them). Anybody who is cheating constantly will know how to do this or it will come as a feature with the cheats.
Sadly, trying to combat cheaters is not easy. In multiple decades now nobody has solved the problem in a way everyone can agree with and is 100% fool proof. So you’ll always see cheaters in virtually every game. Which sucks. The most you can do is use the tools that are given to you in any game if you feel like it (reporting) and move on to another server and try not to let it bother you. And know that there are “waves” of cheating sometimes when a new cheat has been created and can’t be detected by the current system and these people will switch games based on which game has the newest undetected cheats so they can grief.
It’s a sad world where people have “fun” cheating or, worse, want to grief people who are trying to have a good time. And many just want to attention. But it’s the world we live in 
@Amerika
Good to know 
You think this game will stay free to play for ever? Or it will be like Overwatch?
I want to help SD with their game but I dont want to buy elite cases because of RNG… (Have I said it correctly about the RNG?)

You typically only ever see games go from paid to free to play. However Quake Live went from F2P to a paid model.
This is purely conjecture on my part but if the game ever was going to stop being supported by SD I have hopes that they would make a standalone client/server that we could all pay a nominal fee to acquire or go the Qlive method and if you ever spent money in Qlive you got it free after their transition.
So there is precedent for the game going to a pay model. But I’d say the chances of it are not likely. And you’ll still find cheaters in games you pay for too. It’s just a bit more costly or requires a bit more scumbaggery to do it (like breaking into players accounts to cheat on them…which is super common too).

I have never bought a single elite case due to me not liking the longshot odds. I’m not much for gambling in general. So I am 100% with you on that. I’ve bought all of the trinkets that had no rng attached to them but none of the high dollar cases.

I dont like the trinkets because I never focus on looking at them while I am playing
hackers are going to hack my friend thats why 90% of f2p are on steam because you can check there steam accounts… most good comp players of this game keep there steam public so you can tell its them… when they day comes you can copy paste steam profiles… i give up… but just like a hack you got to dig for the truth or the hacks before putting blame on some guy using a big name.
A level 6 player who headshot from one side of trainyard to the other side is a hacker?
A player who kill 6 people with headshots only in 5 seconds is a hacker?
If not, what is a hacker?
as i posted other day the report is next to useless.in last week probably seen 10-20 aimbotters all reported.makes no difference.
there is trigger bots and damage hacks being used daily they need to get on top of it.
its not hard to find them either.often already have vac bans and blatantly hacking yet the anitcheat can pick up that they headshot or 100 percent hit every shot LOL.
how can that be hard to detect ? no one no matter how good they are headshots every time lol.

Sadly, it’s the futility of reporting and surrendering to the authority without having known the fate of what difference it made besides “Fragger’s smug face”, because “policy of no naming and shaming”. This is the crux of system that will make and break the game, and it is probably why players leave and not return to the game anymore. I’m having a tough time convincing my friends to come back and play cause they just can’t muster the interest in being in this cycle of frustration.
Here’s proof: REMOVED
@asparagusMist this proves your point and SD/Nexon needs divert their attention again away to address a situation that can spiral out of control and bring the whole game down.
