You need to address low level bronze aimbotters queuing with platinum/diamond squads as boost service. Ban the whole parties.
Players obviously partying with cheaters share the banned life.

Is loot distribution also determined by the number of players landing in a given location? It feels like skulltown loot is crazy when multiple groups land there and less than lackluster if it’s just 1 or 2 squads.
Nope, loot is determined before players even drop
Hello friends,
Client patch starting to roll out all platforms this morning and you'll need to download and update your client. Below are the issues addressed:
Not sure if this was added at some point without me being aware. But is there a way to report a cheater in the situation where you get second place to a person that's cheating when they become champion?
Something like a "players met" list from the game you just played would be nice for the situations where you can't spectate the person to report them in-game.
Not currently, but I'll see what we can do
No joke can confirm that the giant space cows aka Leviathans go by the following names: Lola and Rosie
What was the reasoning behind this choice? Is it just easier to maintain?
Generally, players will do whatever they can to gain advantage. If their actions can influence, for example, the contents of a loot bin, they'll do so. e.g. if a lot bin was more likely to contain armor if you don't have any armor, some players would start removing their grey/blue armor before opening loot bins.
That photo of Josh, ha!
u/RSPN_Jeremy thinking of your tin foil hat comments while making this one
oh my gawd I love it! I can see Mirage with a massive tinfoil hat. We'll have to do a conspiracy skin in time for the area 51 raid XD
u/Scriptacus: I read that loot distribution is different when we're not playing with a full squad. Is it true? Does it apply only to 1+1+1 matches or also to 2+1 ones?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: So... Are loot distributed according to a fixed percentage or according to probabilities?
I guess what I'm asking is... Are we guaranteed to have at least one of each item during a match? cc u/Scriptacus
Loot distribution does not dynamically change.
Josh should just stop lying.
Can’t stop won’t stop lol
LOL. You're right. Never believe u/lowkeydbjosh.
I believe this will be fixed in our next map patch. Thanks!
And the loot distribution? It feels like there are no more loot areas than before but with more loot items available finding a gun at game start is a total lottery at times. I've been through two full buildings and not found even a Mozzy. But I have found a stack of Heavy ammo, a helmet, 2 white stocks, a white light magazine, a white Shotgun stock, a white energy magazine, two stacks of shotgun ammo and a frag grenade.
I'll see if we can't do some regression testing with the spawn rates, but overall the distribution hasn't changed to my knowledge. The loot system weights spawns by loot category (weapons are a separate category); adding a new item to a category changes the distribution only within that category. (e.g. if we added a new grenade without touching the weights of the existing grenades the only effect across all loot in the match would be that those other grenades spawn less frequently to make room for the new one)
Hope i havent missed you, i had a few issues id like to bring up
If i somehow manage to spectate the cheater, its very easy to report that person for cheating ingame. If my own teammate is cheating however, there is no correct option to report them for cheating. Only options like harassment/spam, and i have to view their profile and report them through the overlay. Can we get a way to report ingame similar to reporting people we spectate.
Loot distribution. Im not calling for disruptor rarity changes or anything like that, but with all these new attachments that have been added, it feels like the distribution was overlooked. Several times a day i can run through one wing of skulltown (like 8 buildings) and not find a single weapon. Ill have loads of shields/meds or hopups/attatchments, but guns just seem rarer than they should be. I dont mind a bit of rng when i drop in a hotzone, but its pretty bad atm.
I'll add cheating to the teammate report list on monday
It'd also be easier to report cheaters if your spectating system let us rotate through the squad that killed us...it's very frustrating to be *one* click away from reporting a cheater, but being unable to do it.
It's coming.
:0 just like Paradinha hiding his initials in Longbow, I'll remember this, thanks!
lol Piranha, close but not quite his name
