[Cheating] Love to see cheaters with 10k hours

PVP - Cheating

From my deathscreen

From a random FB post I found when looked up the player name

So the situation is the following: I play sneakily on lighthouse and hear this guy jumping around the top chalets. I start heading towards him quietly and when I am close he stops making any noise, I wait a bit (1-2 minutes), no sound.. After that I slowly go to a window and as soon as I try to look from it - headshot with a single bullet (headshot ofc).

After that I search his profile in tarkov.dev to check stats etc. Ofc he hasn't played 1 scav raid, and while I search his profile in the web I find this facebook post where some dude has died from the same person and this dude (the cheater) has even replied in the facebook thread, where he is being accused of prefiring without any info.

In 35 hours in-game, this dude has played 64 raids and has died 7 times?? No to mention that such stats are impossible to maintain, exceptions are people like desmon, but he has at least 7k more hours and 30 more achievements than this dude. This guy doesn't even have the 7 kills in a single raid achievement - just a closet cheater with a radar.

So I want to thank u/geneburn that nothing has been done to help reduce cheaters. After the last wipe where most sane players went to PVE, a lot have stopped playing, SUPER OFTEN I get killed by people that have stopped playing for 2 years with mediocre achievements, then they return after 2 years, play 1000 raids in a month, have 2 k/d with 30% survival rate, but somehow manage to hit a shot that only desmon can or have info that they should not have. I do really encounter account buyers more often than before.

Thanks for reading this stupid rant, I know Nikita wants cheaters in this game (has said so) and nothing will be implemented to try to fight them. Its sad that one of the best games ever (def the best in this genre) has turned into this
