Hey All,

TLDR: I'm curious what the state of catching cheaters at Respawn is?

I see pros and content creators run into cheaters just about every time I watch their streams. They clip the vid, send to Hideouts, and the player is usually confirmed cheating & banned.

Does Respawn actively or frequently catch cheaters outside of this process?

It seems to me that the only threat to cheaters currently is running into a subset of pros or streamers that are connected to Hideouts. They all toggle off their cheats after killing someone they recognize.

I love the game, am working on getting better, and consistently seeing cheaters in high-level play is a little disheartening.

Yes, there are a LOT of cheaters caught outside of this process. This process just helps catch cheaters getting into high ranking lobbies using exploits usually. Said exploit will hopefully be fixed for S8 so we should hopefully see less in the higher ranked lobbies.

Because it has changed every season on how they are doing it. It has been fixed every season then a new way emerges. The fix for S8 will hopefully be the end to it but I honestly can't say I know that for sure with how much it evolves.
