I forgot this thread existed.

I'm salty they didn't keep zombies in the tournament mode while it's here. I like zombies dammit! But anyways if any goons want to duo or squad up my in game name is clustercluck and I'm on na east. I got like 375 wins and 25 pins as high as 37 in duo and 29 in solo, so if anyone wants to get sweaty and tryhard I'm down but I also like to just gently caress around and I don't care if you're not great at the game I just like playing with people.

So they vaulted four guns, reduced the spawn rate of one, and then unvaulted a single gun? Cool.

I'm starting to think theses guys don't know what they're doing.

Is there a wallhack or some other way of seeing players through walls going around at the moment? If I have a daily like outlive players or make top 6 in squads but don't have time to play I usually park myself in an already looted house and just hide somewhere, but lately when I do this I eventually have someone come up to the house and just start shooting at the wall I'm directly behind from the outside without any possible way of seeing any trace of me. I don't know if part of player models can clip through walls or anything but I take that into account just in case. Did they add something that makes your position show up on the map if you're stationary for too long to stop people from afking or something?

You can see enemy players on the minimap in some modes, mostly the respawn modes... though it does seem like they change their minds weekly on displaying them or not.

There's definitely some hacks going around, because I've been seeing this too. It's very blatant. They pretty much always shoot the walls down to get to you, too.

One time after one of those fucks navigated perfectly around two traps and effortlessly countered me sitting in a turret, they then proceeded to magically pinpoint every single hidden chest and purple or better drop in Tilted.

Nah - anti-cheat manufactures did step their game up to detect public space hacks, which in turn made cheat manufacturers restrict their access - and once they learned it’s a good business the inevitable followed. The real private, e.g. custom order hacks for small groups of verified customers, go for high-3/low-4 digits nowadays, depending on game.

I'm guessing there's an economic incentive to cheat (and I vaguely recall someone mentioning this before): rack up high scores and sell the account. If kids are crazy enough to spend an average of $80 on this game, then there must be a bunch willing to spend a lot more for a tricked out account.

Edit: I'm told by an unreliable source that these days the hacks purely use the screen output (using hand-wavey "machine learning" techniques), so they don't have to hack the code and so avoid getting detected that way.

I do machine learning for living so I can safely assure you that from cheating perspective it’s smoke and mirrors. “Computer vision” sure, but 99% of those jus track colour change on pixel, e.g. centre of health bar going grey from green.

It's been there for a few weeks at least.

I got waylaid by the 10 golden balloons challenge: first I thought they were referring to the large yellow supply drop balloons and spent a while shooting them down and wondering why I wasn't getting credit for it. Then I learned they're actually regular size balloons in random places. And then I wasted more time looking for them, because annoyingly they disappear if another player gets there before you (like the fireworks challenge a few weeks ago). And to add insult to injury, blowing up the structure they're attached to makes them disappear but doesn't give you the point.

Just because the online guides are so horribly inaccurate, here's some I found:
- The bear statue to the SE of Retail Row
- The north side of an electricity pylon directly south of the container yard
- The very top of weird tall house at NE-most corner
- The T-rex is holding one
- A rock just to the W of the waterfall into the sea, between Lazy Links and The Block
- A cart in the corral next to the house by the cliff E of Paradise Palms
- The middle of the motel sign
- In the water just to the S of the E-most large jutting rock in Loot Lake
- Right next to the seacliff edge, just to the E of the waterfall next to Lucky Landing
- On the SW corner of the central building in Dusty Divot

It's new this season, I think.

For the plane time trials, I ended up having way more problems at the motel than at the mansion. I figured they'd all be slalom courses, like the one near Frosty.

Check you dont have private mode enabled. If is not the case, you are in a range without people, you can try lower or higher missions or alerts or missions with desirable rewards. People is somewhere.
