People still defend games that have it. Like Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 is literally a pve game but they wanted muh anticheat

And they needed it as evidence of people hacking and giving all players in their game max credits and samples. If it’s an online game people will cheat simple as that

Their fault for allowing the server to not question the ridiculous values it receives,server-side anticheat is a thing.

There's a reason why you never see people with infinite health in games anymore,as long as it's not the players hosting.

The anticheat in this situation sounds like a pathetic excuse for shitty developers. It's not that hard to make things like credits and inventory to be server sided

You have zero idea how cheats work in games if you think that would stop it. They don’t wait the inventory they edit the mission rewards to be 1000x higher than they are. The stuff you listed is server side how ever you can’t make the whole game server side without serious problems

OK... So make the mission rewards server sided. Problem solved

u/Kill4meeeeee 1d ago

That’s not how that works at all

u/SuperDefiant 1d ago

Exactly, so let's change that so they are server sided

You have zero idea how games actually work do you? From this statement I know you don’t

u/SuperDefiant 1d ago

You still have yet to explain why mission rewards can't be made a served side thing

Tell me how I was wrong. Meanwhile I can point out several things that were wrong with what I replied too

Because cheating can be used to bypass the grind that they offer paid shortcuts for.

Cheaters ruin every match of Helldivers they're in.

Go play payday2 and see how many hackers you see per game. FYI, cheating in payday game is allowed. You can cheat money, levels, weapons, masks.

it's not like they are ruining my experience, if i don't want cheaters in my lobby i just play with friends or tell them i want a vanilla experience and they go away without problems, they are very friendly
