Jesus the cheatery.

The problem?

FYI OP, your name shows above the XP gained bar. Just in case you wanted it hide it like the one above.

Eh, my name doesn't matter that much. I just wanted to avoid a witchhunt on the slight chance this was a bug and not an exploit.

If they can cheat the XP, why not the credits? but I guess if the matches are over instantly suppose it doesn't matter to much. I don't see to many cheaters on the PC, but if I do it's typically not on gold, which seems strange.

In my games on wave 7 I drop everyone into a Dark Souls fight club

Did they tell you how they did it? I mean just so that I can report them ofc.... not so that I can copy them.... no no...

1. Open Cheat Engine
2. Everytime you kill a mob, search for increased value in memory, repeat until one address left
3. Change total XP value to whatever the fuck you want
4. End match by killing yourself

You know why this works? Because everything is calculated client side. The XP earned but also the wave/objective completion flags. The end-of-match report is only sent at the very end of the match. If you truly wanted to blatantly hack the game you could easily do much worse. Now especially that modding tools are available, it's kinda scary what stuff people could come with. Thankfully no one knows how to mod this game yet.

ps bear in mind that telemetry is sent on every bullet, kill, wave/objective completion. so it would be extremely easy for them to detect hackers if they wanted to and ban them. i'm surprised they haven't taken any action yet

This is simple cheat engine stuff, there are tons of .CT tables out there with XP modifiers, last wave modifiers, and fast wave timers. No credit hacks yet though, apparently more of the credit stuff is server side than it was in ME3MP. For people credit hacking, this is how they do it. Set up the game with cheat engine and then let it run a bunch of fast matches in a row.













 ....so I've heard

Jesus is a cheatery nao!?

Once they've got everything maxed out they'll completely stop playing anyways. So no real problem there.

Haven't encountered any cheaters on PC yet, so there must be really few of them this time (in my timezone anyway).

Tbh, I wouldn't mind dropping in a Lobby like that.

The amount of credits needed to max a manifest is just too fucking high this time around, especially without platinum-payouts (and no sign of ever getting that difficulty and/or double credit weekend.

The UR grind is insane this time, makes Warframe look like an instant reward simulator.

It's fun to occasionally drop into games w/ no power delay and infinite shields. It's like a surprise Apex mission perk but XP hack would tick me off. That's about 3 hours of game time no longer needed, not to mention, the time selecting skills/powers and theory crafting. Leveling characters is one of the funner parts of the game. My interest is already waning after 97 hours of MP w/ all rare and below characters maxed and most non ultra rare weapons at VII-X. Hastening what might be the end of Mass Effect isn't something I'd want.
