Battlefield 2042 Content Creator Caught Hacking ► Where Is The Anti-Cheat?

Now go to the 7 minute 20 second mark of that video, and you will see enders cheats in full action aim botting and shooting people through smoke without any indication heck his mini map was even jammed by blasco.

This is great. Thank you for exposing these cheaters. As a casual BF2042 players I've been noticing that more and more, I'm being insta-headshot by people and being shot through dense smoke.. seeing people in the scoreboard with 100kills per match while the players below has around 40kills total.. I once reported a video of people cheating on the Apex Legends EA Forum and they removed it, with the excuse of "we do not support public shaming". Well, if they stand beside the cheaters.. what the hell we're gonna do?

[@PDU2004]

In Battlefield 2042, cheating is widespread among players in the East Asian region, with many openly engaging in it. Fake IDs and conspicuous cheating tactics are utilized to masquerade as top players and club teams from the region. My team has even experienced instances where a group of hackers actively stream-sniped us during our gameplay Cheating in the East Asian region is quite severe, which is why when I play solo, I'd rather endure latency 180ms and play in the US West But EA simply doesn't care how dire the situation is outside the Pacific. EA would say, "That's managed by another EA division," and that division is located in, you guessed it, Shanghai

[@PDU2004]

@@eded711 Since 1942, I've had experiences with the SAGA club in BF2. During BF2, I faced SAGA while I was in other clubs, and we began to have fierce competitions. From BF3 to BF4, as we became more familiar with each other, the atmosphere improved, and my club interacted or competed with them. Although I am just a passerby on the internet, I can vouch for them with my 20 years of BF experience: the official members of the SAGA club are absolutely trustworthy in terms of character and integrity. Some of them, like me, are still playing in 2042. Many hackers from "you-know-which country" have been impersonating the SAGA tag, as 2042 doesn't have a club system to regulate it... anyone can impersonate it. Jealousy can be terrible, leading to malicious behavior.

The fact that they call themselves “the best” while abusing other people online is what rubs me the wrong way.

[@fraserthomson5766]

Yeah the most popular script is map/aim/health assist. More and more 'private' servers are also run by hackers. It's appalling of the programmers really..

[@foabmoab]

EA has repeatedly tried to pretend cheating was not an issue in 2042. I was banned from the EA Help forums for pointing out the issue (right before they conveniently decided to swap to a new anti-cheat). Feels nice to be vindicated that the incredibly suspect stuff that happens in matches is very likely to be hack related. 2042 is the one game out of the entire series where I have encountered more cheating than any other, and I think most dismissed it because its not the type of cheating they're used to, where one player just stands and nukes everyone with a machine gun like they did previously. I've had two instances of that in game (one just a few weeks ago). 2042 seems to suffer significantly more from stealth cheating. People pretending they're legit, but they're not. You'll often see these players dominate for a few rounds, get called out, and suddenly be somewhere around the middle or bottom of the board, before jumping back to the top again. Other times they'll immediately leave the server as the round ends, and won't be seen again (given the rather tiny pool of players I regularly encounter, you'd expect to see them reappear). The worst offender for this was a player who ended up rage cheating at the end after being called out, and single-handedly ran from one end of Spearhead to the other on Breakthrough killing every single person instantly with their PP-29. I actually started running an experiment to confirm they were able to see everyone at all times, and they fell right into that trap by instantly finding me every single time. Found, shot three times, dead. To make it more obvious, they were playing as Falck, and too far ahead of their own team for any of them to spot us for them. After that, never saw that player again, and per the tracker they don't appear to have advanced very much at all since. Player had an 80% win rate, which in itself is sus. My win rate is 54% because the teams in the games generally don't perform well. So when I see someone getting 80% wins despite having the same pool of players to fill their team, its a red flag that their cheating is swinging the match hard in their favour. Typically, those players will know your exact position at all times. Sometimes they'll play Paik as a cover, but forget that someone has visual and audio cues they're being scanned. Same for scanning gadgets because of the noise. The wall hacking is always accompanied by an aimbot that puts every shot into the head. Single digit rank players jumping across a gap to instantly beam you with two pistol shots to the head, for instance. They also have a habit of tanking more damage. Recently I was able to hit a player at some distance with a red dot sight on the AK5C. Ended in a headshot, took them down much quicker than expected, but still took 10 rounds. You then encounter one of the players being suspect up close, and hit them with just about the full 40 rounds, and they're still alive.

To be fair, it’s gonna be a lot harder to determine if a jet player is cheating just based off of if they outturn. If their flying is even slightly more polished than you they could potentially outturn you every single engagement. I would do it all the time in bf4. And it has been done to me plenty of times too😂 boots on the ground it’s way easier to tell if someone’s just a blatant cheater

[@lI_Simo_Hayha_Il]

Back in BF4, 3, BC2, 2 and 1942, we rented our own servers. These guys didn't stand a chance. They were simply kicked from the servers, using spectator mode and we didn't care if DICE would ban them or not. We were called "Banadmins" and lots of people were mad at us. The fact is that our servers had excellent reputation, they were full 24/7 and nobody complained about cheating. DICE (and most publishers/developers) took the servers to the cloud, which I have to admit has a lot of benefits, but they removed the ability to hire our own server and administer it. Now they develop invasive anti-cheats, some cannot even get uninstalled!!!, that spy on us when the computer is on, even without playing anything, and cheaters still roam in every f*** game. Banwaves are just profit for them, as the cost of cheats is multiple times the cost of the game, and many providers give you a free game if you get banned. So DICE and others make profit for every ban, since most cheaters will buy (direct or indirect) another code.

Played quite a few games where a payer seems very suspicious - spotting me when I'm in cover etc., I'm 70 years old and just like to play, I'm not the best player in the world so its sad when you come up against these little pricks, cmon DICE get your fingers out and sort this problem once and for all - well done Ghost for putting this video up for us all to see.

[@positivelycurvedpikachu]

what's your opinion on modern day videogame game industry ?

[@user-pf3gd1zd2i]

Well one thing I learned from playing MGO2/3 is that cheaters would intentionally lower their KDR to hide the cheating. If anyone called them out they would point to the low KDR and troll the accusor.

[@w.williams2694]

Wow, that confirms so many of my suspicions over the past two years with both those guys. I've literally gotten into arguments with clan mates about how sus DH and LSF are. It wasn't that they were just good pilots -- they are -- it was how they seemed to be able to find you no matter where you were and this explains it. And it's funny, as I was watching the beginning of this, I kept saying "what about the guys he runs with" and, yep.

Is it true that PlayStation users can avoid cheaters by just cutting off the cross play?

[@chriscollins550]

I turn of cross play for ps5. I do think there is the odd cheat on ps5 but not many and I'm not sure how.

[@ericsternberger2768]

I belief there are cheats on ps as well. I get constantly one-shotted by a dxr-users having full health abd not being a headshot

In next game DICE should include things such as HWID Bans, IP bans but knowing EA/DICE highly unlikely

Why would they punish 80%of the people playing...

[@BravenTyler]

Why is this guy getting any clout, being at 1.1k followers but I'm over here at 1.7k with legit and better content, makes me sick that a cheater with dogcrap content gets views, but I'm over here showing real skill getting literally bones. Hard being a legit content creator

[@Stewbo1]

Cross play should be binned . I've never met a pc user play fair . 90% of them are using cheats

[@Zabijaka87]

It is possible to destroy full HP Wankcat with one rocketpod strafe but you have to attack it perpendiculary from side. This guy's rockets spread is impossibly tight assuming this footage is post rocket pod patch.

[@aus_ae]

Luke and other players most likely use different usernames. Where I play, I often encounter them, and how they play/use the game chat seems to give it away. There are also different videos with different usernames on his channel. Happy to be proven wrong that they don't cheat, but having played against them a couple of times, I find them toxic and don't bother with them anymore. We all have better things to do than entertain these people. I play with other regular Battlefield vets, and it feels obvious to all of us that something is wrong and Dice isn't doing anything about it.

[@kevin11humor]

Silk is a frickin beast and knows his vehicles, I would believe him even if there was no hard proof. He's quite possibly the real best vehicle player or at least close.

Even if lukeskyfarmer isn't cheating, that discord message is enough for me to stop watching him. What a POS!

[@lezlienewlands1337]

Cheating is an uphill battle now with DMA hardware out there, which for those uninitiated is Direct Memory Access. Basically it's a PCIe card that allows an external computer to do the hacking which gets directly injected into the second PC. The advantage is the cheat code is not on the computer that they're playing on, so it can't be seen even by kernel cheats. They also spoof the hardware identifiers so it shows up as something innocuous. Right now it's a pretty expensive way to cheat from what I've heard, but as technology advances the cost will come down. Sad really. We almost need to bring back LAN parties. Anyone cheating there is in for a public shaming.

[@90PaMa]

"The best bf pilot ever " That's a bold statement dude, like I ve been dogfighting insane pilots across 20 years of battlefield. I'm quite sure he hasn't even got in touch with the all-time top tiers

[@jamescamille84]

I believe there is an anti cheat that registers your PC parts.. Therefore if you are caught cheating, for example for your graphic card has a serial number, once it has been flagged as cheater account, no matter how many accounts you make the serial number on your pc parts has already been flagged and the pretty much your whole PC has been locked out of the game.. This goes for hard drives and motherboards.

[@xunjin8897]

When we from the Linux world say that “anti-cheat kernel” is something that doesn't add any security at all, at the expense of your privacy, we are the “doom days” ones. The worst is to hear, “I don't care if they can access everything on my PC, I just want no cheaters”, well, that just proves that there will always be cheaters, the way is how you fight against them. Dota 2 does a nice stuff where you can review replays and actually get cheaters while reporting them.

[@mitri5389]

Yeah games like warthunder also has that but 90% of cheaters play unconscious trying their hardest to look normal... they keep getting away with it because the mods are to dumb or to scared of banning a so called legit player. Honestly the only way to solve cheating problem is to host your own server and spectate players. Anti cheat is a cheap lock.

[@YeeVeeX]

Dude, I bought BF2042 a couple weeks ago and I noticed a lot of people doing insane stuff and shots out of this world... I was wondering why.

[@zavirca]

Cheating is becoming more and more evident in BF2042 in my region, it's crazing and getting out of control. I'm really surprised you haven't run into this sort of gameplay before. I would say it's increased over the last 1-2 months or so. Not seeing it in every server I go into but I'm running into this sort of thing every couple of days. It's getting really annoying and the reason I stopped playing BF5 and played a different game, but now if this keeps up I'll be moving away from BF2042.

[@lonegun4078]

honestly what goes through peoples heads when they use cheats. like are you really having fun playing the game. Part of the fun when coming and playing new games is learning and training to make yourself a better player. SMH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@garybryant4293]

I think you kind of hit on it there bud, it's a difficult game from the jump, and people that don't feel like they're good at the game they want some kind of leg up. Then they run around cheating and think that they're good at the game! When I first started playing I would spawn and die in 5 seconds every time... It has taken me months to get as good as I am which is still awful. Cheaters just want like kids are like steroids I think the shortcut to getting good

[@kennethwilliamsinc]

I'm guessing the thrill is that it strokes their ego to see their stats better than everyone else's and they also get a high from pissing people off.

[@TJMGator]

Come On Ghost! Are you on really, really, good drugs? I have 2,400+ hours on 2042. It is OBVIOUS there are DBag cheaters in 2042. GREAT video. Captain Douchyhind's video illustrates what I knew was happening. Thank You!

[@Gaunter_ODimm]

The map Redacted have the most cheaters on console. That player with a 165 - 21 or 125 - 11 type of score.

[@NSX-ki4bd]

To be fair, EA does do IP and hardware bans, however, those 2 can be easily hidden.

[@chazleyweber2689]

I can count on two hands and two feet how many times I run into blatent cheaters every time I load up the game. It has been a HUGE problem the entire time the game has been out and its never been properly addressed even with the big anti cheat updates. It did nothing. I basically had to quit playing cause of the sheer amount of cheaters makes the game unplayable.

[@brianbird7866]

Same😢

[@chazleyweber2689]

That is I play in the US with a larger density of players compaired to maybe where Ghost plays. To be transparent I do not know how the servers are set up for this game but I would guess its regonal so I would maybe have more people here playing over all. Again IDK how it actually works and I am just speculating.

[@wilihey1425]

i know of a guy that would upload a lot of videos for bfV and what not about him getting insane scores in vehicles, i knew about his channel cause he would get on EU servers cheat by an insane amount, like armor plates on infantry, speedhack, shooting through walls just decimating the entire lobby and ruining the game and the whole time he would spam the chat with his youtube channel there are a lot of people doing this, and there are a lot of players that do it almost everyday ruining lobbies everyday not even this closet cheating where they have a slight advantage just decimating everyone so you cant even exit spawn and they dont get ban, if they do they get another account and get right back to it, its hopeless

[@MrGrazzhoppa]

Yeah, Lukeskyfarmer is definitely cheating.

[@Battlewear]

I bought 2042 after the free to play event for season 7.. at first I though oh I’m just a new player, that’s why I’m dying so much, need to learn the game, upgrade, etc etc. it wasn’t until I got a lil more experienced with the game that I could start to see those who cheat. It ticked me off and basically stopped playing. I wish with cross play we had ability to select with or without pc players…

[@azupanki]

I have to mention that in the Asia servers, there are 2-3 blatantly cheating players in every server, as well as at least half of them are acting (without very obvious cheating, like wall hacks, etc.). EAAC seems to have no effect on Asian servers, but it keeps disabling my NVIDIA recording all the time :)

[@pocketkiriyama]

Met Skyfarmer twice with my brother and he had suspicions about him cheating. Despite the high kill count his side still lost twice.

[@662North]

The only way to get rid of cheating is to post the personal information of the cheaters including address. Yes, a few people will die but, word travels fast and i believe cheating will stop within 6 months.

[@kalkun22]

Shame on DICE for letting this happen to ASH. SHAME

[@imaoc2884]

Cool thing about the free to play battleroyale mode, is that most cheaters are going to stay there and are going to leave multiplayer players alone.

[@IANC4EVER]

As a former BF2 admin, most players are ignorant or just plain lying when it comes to hackers. On PC UK servers for 2042 I witness usually 4 or more aimbotting every match, and its very obv , as in one hit kills from guns which do 35 dmg, or all Headshots in one frame. DICE didnt do a thing about hacking in BF1, BF4, BFV, BF 2042 - remember those nub hackers ARIZ for example? lmao. 2042 isnt a bad game when no hackers are on, it plays completely differently and hit reg is better. But, Every BF game is dead cos of aimbotters, and tbh Ive yet to see an actually BF streamer on YT have recoil or spread...

[@alastairschultz1837]

Didn't Luke used to play on Playstation? I seem to remember running into the name in BFV. If he's cheating on PC, I wouldn't be surprised if he was using Cronus and/or Xim on console.

using cronus or xim on a game that has crossplay with PC like next gen bf2042 does isn’t cheating… now if it was rainbow six siege then yes using cronus and xim on console is cheating

[@joshwongwai3532]

He did play bfv on PlayStation and he was using a Cronus while playing at the time, plenty of times I’ve died to the guy with a semi auto rifle that shot like a machine gun. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was using more cheats while on pc now.

he used to play comp back then too. Comp on BFV was 80% cheaters you either did it or you lost

@@charlessandel i would argue xim isn't because you're using the same inputs as PC. But using cronus which give you an advantage with computer generated inputs and not your own is 100%cheating
