Why Calling “Cheats” In Tarkov Is Impossible
1,819Today we investigate a suspicious encounter from a recent stream - but it turns out my opponents were streaming as well! These rare moments are a great way of checking your own assumptions of what other players are doing, simply because it’s so rare to get the other side.
Too many players are so quick to call “cheats” or “hacks” on others in Tarkov, partly because the perception of lots of cheaters in raids has become fairly widespread. And although there are some obvious uses of cheats where players grief others, in the vast majority of cases it is less clear cut. In those situations, there are SO many things that could have happened instead of cheats being the reason, such as desync, audio issues and sometimes just plain bad luck.
Before we call out our opponents for cheating, we need to be very aware that sometimes Tarkov is just a complex and confusing game, and that without the other perspective in many situations we can just NEVER know what the truth of it was.
