Why Rust Admins Started Cheating
Cheating in Rust has gotten out of control, however, it wasn’t always this bad. We take a closer look into this problem with this Rust Documentary to figure out why cheating is so widespread, the incentives behind it, and if there is any hope of resolving this problem.
I do not endorse cheating in any form, this video is purely for educational & entertainment purposes.

Great video, the community thing sounds silly but it works. When I first started playing in 2016 I played on US West 3 (before it got taken down & put up again) I was neighbors with a super generous trio who seemed like they had endless amounts of loot. We were friendly with each other until I found out that one of them was using ESP to raid, me and my friend spam reported him and in a few hours he was banned lol. But he came back on another account and told us in voice chat that it was his new alt and we spam reported that to without the trio knowing lmao. The game had so much charm back then, but nowadays it’s just kind of fizzled ig. might be because I’ve played it so much 💀
I find it very weird people mostly cheat just to reactions out of people, thats like making a person lose their sanity.
they redid the ak recoil so many times it is very frustrating.
lol the fact that it comes down to “WAHHH DEY CHANGED MY WECOIL” is classic Rust community.
starts the essay be explaining why, mechanically, with cheating so bad it’s not possible to compete with cheaters by personally not cheating or not associating with cheaters.
ends the essay saying the best way to combat cheating is to personally not cheat or associate with cheaters.
The recoil change and pros crying about is the most stupid shit I have seen
its sad people cheat in competitive games. I think every single pvp game is ruined.
Personally I think the recoil update made cheating 3-5x worse
if rust bans cheaters the game loses 1/3 of it’s playerbase
im proudly shit at the game.
I know u said suing cheaters and makers is bad but in my experience it is the one thing that works the best. Yes FP would look bad in the moment, but after that, the standard has been set at jail time for cheating. Then many cheaters and especially cheat devs will stop, as it is not worth the risk of real jail time for such petty crime.
Omori music ❤ so good
and back in the day like 2015 i feel like you would never see anyone cheating in video games online or even talked about that much like youtube and google actually cared about keeping these listings down nowadays it just seems like every video with 15 views is a cheater at this point
summer of 2022 is exactly where it happend i have not played rust in 2 years that is crazy i legit couldnt get enough of the game before i legit dropped out of school my biggest regret in life and now i dont even play the game see where rust got me ! ?? :{
This video really hit me on rust 😭
$mall D ick energy
50$ per month x 10.000 cheaters = 500.000$ per month
You can’t compare cheating in game to cheating in life, thing is. Cheating in game is criminal in Rust because people waste some lifetime for nothing.
Aged well, “get better at the game” every mp game that has a ranking system is full of cheaters in the higher ranks (cs2 over 22k rating is 5 cheaters a match atleast, warzone top 500 full of cheaters, league is fcked by scripters in diamond+, and u can’t go a day without finding a cheater in rust) so good luck getting better at the game, that’s a skill issue
Cheaters are such losers. They all talk the exact same way. They were just raised wrong and never learned to lose.
lol the game is not good. It’s poorly designed and rewards time over skill. It’s way too time consuming. The most toxic game. I like playing for 5 minutes and getting bow and arrow but getting guns takes too long, I’m not gonna do it.
I bought a premium gaming laptop and every online game i can fathom I dont even want to play or purchase because of cheaters and hackers . Its Ridiculous
I think the old/new recoil argument doesn’t matter. Cheating is the issue. May as well make all guns zero recoil so non-cheaters are on even playing field aside from ESP.
What music is in this video?
I’ve always played modded but decided to try official on force wipe… NA servers are filled with chinese and russians, been shot at through walls countless times (the worst one is someone shooting a crossy 20-25m away while i was hiding in oxums, the arrow that landed in the door was pointing straight at me when i was sitting there for 4-5 minutes already) and the worst point of all, nobody is getting banned at all on there. Seeing the rate of bans in modded makes me question how ”clean” official really is when i’ve yet to see a single player banned message in chat over thee course of 3 days of heavy playing…
A vid
i feel like on competitive servers like 5 percent cheats
The recoil is such a stupid issue. It should be changed often. Those poor guys who spent 100’s if not 1000’s of hours ARE dumb and did waste their time but it should never have been left to that state. The recoil should change often. Dont make easy patterns just change the patterns regularly so everyone is slightly evened out. Experienced players will figure out patterns before newbies. New recoil is kinda aids.
Rust cheaters are faggots with no friends
Garbage game full of cheaters, gg. I remember how awesome this game was 8 years ago, the gritty atmosphere, the glitches, the unhinged pvp, the teammate jump-check. It used to be awesome, now it’s just a piece of garbage riddled with “content”. Honestly, Facepunch ruined this game when they allowed people who were not authorized on your TC to build twigs and ladders on your base. I’m sorry but this game has changed for the worst and I’m never coming back to it.
Great Video, it kinda got fucked by the algorithem, i had to search for it xD
while I do not agree with people ruining others’ fun in online games, I do like to develop cheats simply for the challenge and I do see the appeal of cheating, even know I am not bad at games in any form, I’d say I am way above average, It is very interesting and revitalises some games’ enjoyment factor by a large amount
just give out cheats free make them make 0 money. will force facepunch to fix their trash or close down.
I quit the game, cheating is too prominent, the game is unplayable at this point and as someone who only played solo the game was even more toxic and unplayable
Junkies cheat on rust
This is why i like Single-Player and Local Co-Op games infinitely more than multiplayer especially high-stakes sweating.
Cheating and try-hards are the exact reason, despite having been gifted a copy of Rust, i will not touch it. I was already largely let down by Tarkov recently and have been an EOD backer since closed-beta. These types of games attract people who want to play seriously and for fun, but it also attracts dregs who ruin it for everyone.
I’d say most cheaters just want a new game to cheat in. Unlike popular beliefs, it’s VERY funny and fun to cheat in rust as the reactions are amazing
AHAHHA “HOPEFUL” Have spent the last 1000hrs trying to get anything on an official Server done but at least every 5th players cheat. There hasnt been a single offline raid that didnt use ESP to perfectly mathmetically raid any base. Nobody is doing ANYTHING. NO HOPE
How is cheating any fun for you fucks? Like you half-excuses for men are sad. Especially If you’re one of those faggots that put 1000hrs into a gun recoil, reap your reward loser,. What did you think was going to happen on your volatile investment.
not true $1,000,000 a year😂 more like $175,000 a year guy
The developers stance is lazy and there are many easy steps that could nerf cheating by using AI to find and lock human limits based on settings and general human limits. These limitions can be bypassed at all but set limit and use thing like speed of aim vs instability nased on sensitivities. Using basic geometrical data to map and set limits that when pass will just auto ban set lower limits of what a cheater can do with cheats. It would incude using software to track time spend aim at other players in high detail especially when that players behind a wall. Using step like when odds of being a cheater get toi high it could remove sound made by other players. It could with very simple code limit what cheat can do and effectly set lower limits forever. Deploying this with a change in laws that would require state ID to play would end most cheating as creating a fake state ID would make creating a new account a felony the government responsible to prosecute without the game developer needing to spend any money. So developer just need to come together and push on massvwith money for State ID requires or just refuse to sell to anyone without ID then all bans are generally for life or any second bans will lead to jail time.
The truth is developer can do it now under current laws by selling all games with a small super cheap alcoholic beverage to force state ID use and start the fast path to a fix. No one could stop them they could even force users to buy accounts which incude a alcohol beverage in order to force a adult ID to be used. It would mean your state ID would get a ban for life if you cheat and that’s clearly what needs to happen. People need real punishments. Time after this step will past and cheat will start dying off as only small number of people will risk a felony charge.
To be clear anyone who is primary mob mentality motivated will do nearly anything if they see a profit especially if the risk of punishment is low and punishment is a joke. Developers, sellers, users who profit need to face jail time by changing laws to make punishments fast and easy. Common users needs to face community service in increase amounts of time.
Change is a serious problem do understand it shows that you have weak mob mentality to mindset and that you are highly manipulatable. You also are giving this data to those who will use it against you to profit off it.
Scientifical studies shows it is a very significant if someone cheats or doesn’t as it creates a base point for their morally which after using a standard multiplier you can find just about how little morally they actual have when it’s forced on them by pain of death and punishment. Yes a willingness to cheat in a virtual world does translate into reality. The data that is already actively being compiled can easily be used to map your lines morally highly accurately which why they act like they don’t know people cheating for long sets of time. It why they allow people who they actual know are cheating to go without a ban for so long. The data is highly valued and companies like Ark survival evolved have made their first biggest payday’s by selling the data collected of people cheating and psychotic behavior to the US government which paid millions for it.
A drive to collect ever more data to sell and the ways they can use it to get even cheaters to buy skins vs a battle of growth of loses that result from a ever growing force of public bad will againt the company.
Using the data collection and sells model and a system target cheater who you know are weak minded to profit only works so long as you have a high percentage of cheaters and try to allow them to increase. The problem with trying this it will not work long term as we can already scan people’s and take data to find out only set percentage of people morally will allow them to cheat and even half those who do cheat will hit the company with bad will which means buying less as time goes forward. There will come a point were the value of money made off cheaters is less then what they can make off those who don’t and the damage off the grow bad will againt the company. The truth is we are already there and companies who actual have long been secretly cataloging data on Cheaters who thought they were noticed. They know when 90% of cheaters are cheating to be clear right off the start. Stock price manipulation by use of highly timed ban waves is common place for developers. They get good with big ban waves which actually increase stock values and they force cheaters to buy new copies which double or even triples it. That’s now even counting that many cheaters actually buy skins again like they are a crack addict because they only ban them after a long enough time. It’s a pay to cheat system going on actually and many games are also adding a pay to win system like Call of duty. Shooters and survival games are becoming ever more fake were it’s just about how much money they can bleed off you not skill.
I play warzone 1 with a 6.8KD and ground with 12.8KD and played a lot of hours got a world record 68 kills no deaths in warzone playing quads solo no fill and a world record 368 kill no deaths in ground war. I played Halo reach and Halo ODST for a insane number hours manage to play both for a year each without dying. I played in many Battlefield games with a 30 or higher KD.
I don’t share this to flex but to make a point as any you should be seeing any legitimate player stats dropping if they are not cheating as cheating increases as this is basic logic. Any who stats are not falling but increasing or remaining the same are cheating. This is where the streaming problem is rooted as 90% not much greater then average and even those like IamIron who is a high level player is soft aimbot cheating and using wall hacks and radar hacks. To be clear Iamiron uses a aimbot set to lock on within something within a like a 3 degrees or less then a 1 degree aera away from the target. To a highly skilled player this only you need as this soft lock-on will remove recoil and cut time to fired delays and the wall hacks and radar hacks remove the spoting delays. The best players who are not cheating spend 90% of there use a calculate pattern of exposuring only to aeras cleared by scanning that aera with proactive aiming clearly. Cheater don’t clear most aeras remotely correctly and leave large sets of aeras they never secured and expose their back to those angles rather then using concealment correctly or putting back to a wall. You can see cheaters standing in bad spots for long sets of times because their wall hacks and radar hacks tell them no one is near them or looking their way. Must of even the skilled streamers need wall hacks and radars to play anywhere near what they did on warzone 1’s first map which had cheaters but they managable. I actual won vs most cheaters back then but most of them were soft cheating and now most are rage hacking even most streamers lying that it skill. Take any of them to a secure computer have them give you the settings they want in game and use the best hardware in the world and you will realize if would be forced to do it by the streaming platforms that 99% of guys pretending to be so great are fakes. That they can aim anywhere as goos as they fake and that their fake situational awareness is just wallhacks and radar hacks.
I run around the map in warzone 1’s first map with confidence because right off the gate my stats were rated in the top 0.001% which highest percentage rating that show and I play with a controller hipfire sensitivity of 60, ADS sensitivity 105-120, high zoom of 180 and I made it look normal to do. My hipfire was at it’s lowest 3 times faster then 99% of other players and my ADS and sniper zoom aim was 6 to 9 times faster. Going down to just 90% of players my aim was 6 times faster in hipfire, 10 times faster just normal ADS and 18 times fasters when high zoomed. I oftenly could scan find the target, fire and get a headshit before other could even pull their triggers pre-ADS super near were I was likely going to pop out. I once head on head killed 12 snipers in ground war who were all trying to shot me at the same time kill them fast with peeks so fast I scanned, aim and kill one by one and jump back in cover before their rounds fired hit me. I did this a lot and the truth is average or player not in the top 10% has a 6 to 3 second trigger pull delay. Those in the top 1% near the 1 second or below and the best get to around 360ms zone which means they scan aim and fire faster their anyones trigger pulls. I use aim programs and do things to test myself and aim has got faster and more detailed. Sadly because refuse to cheat after being in the top 0.001% players start at the age of 7 not even I can fight the insane level of aimbots taking over everything. Gaming is like a religion to me and winning with honor is very important to me.
To be clear I like IamIron as a player but he shouldn’t cheat. My problem with him started as I run into him and we rapid Peak fired at each other exchanging over 30 rounds before we both decided their was no way for us to hit as we both had a quick fire peek so fast we were back in cover before the others shot could hit. I was happy to find someone so skill untill my brother walked in and point out he was cheat but didn’t believe him. I watch IamIron stream later that day and he was cheating. I fired each time above the cover where his head would be if he did get back in cover in time. IamIron aim clearly track my head into cover and he fired were my head was all 30 times but this was below cover and would never lead to a hit. I slowed it down and watch all 30 of the time and his aim was lock-on following my head even when he reloaded each time non-stop. The fact is IamIron is a great player but my controller trigger pull was 3 times faster then his mouse click meaning he is actual slow with his mouse clicks which is likely his greatest weakness. What does this mean today? It means he would likely lose 3 times as much to a cheater if he wasn’t cheating himself and have no more then half my KD. To be clear and fair his KD would be high if no one was cheating.
The problem in streaming is people cheating even soft cheating can too easily do to good as 75% of people too bad to see the person is fake or they cheat also and don’t care allowing cheaters to out perform any legitimate player. The increase in cheating even push the legitimate players to start cheating and even move completely to cheating a hell of a lot.
Make the game rated so that young kids are not playing because it is violent. There is unknown content because you’re online with people that you don’t know so it’s 18+ rating then sue the shit out of all those people making cheats and using cheats then you’re not suing kids.
I’ve never ever ever once felt the need to cheat. I’d rather lose 10,000 times than do it
Why do they do it? The answer’s easy. They aren’t good enough to do it successfully without.
i been playing Rust since 2013 Alpha, and im against cheating, dont care recoil or not, many games have recoil, you just adapt, and improve, the community dont need to suffer because you are butthurt, im bad at shooting in just and i still have fun
I mostly play with the same friends together for 7k hours of rust.
The group got smaller and we do not have the edge against these big zergs but for me personally I feel better to know not having a cheater in my group.
Lately someone asked if a friend can join our group – so after some discussion we let him play with us. He was kinda bad but its okay for us – everybody needs to practice this game. When we got raided and only me and him were online (we were in a really bad situation) he got banned by anticheat telling me in discord it has something to do with a cracked CrosshairX software (blablablabla).
He came back with a new account and wanted an invite to the group – I reported his new account and banned him from discord.
I hope he is lonely and finally stops playing rust.
Stand up against cheaters and don´t let them take away Rust.
#BringBackTheOldRecoil
The actual reality of rust cheating is FREE LOOT.. EASY WINS and MAKING FUN OF LEGIT SKRUBS LIKE U 🤣🤣
People cheat cause there bad, I used to cheat I stopped after I got decent
i cant ever understnad the appeal in cheating yeah even if ur either not good or tired of playing against cheaters but i have used an aimbot and esp on games and i played with it against my friends in a private lobby in order to not actually effect someones experience and its just so boring the challenge is what gives the game enjoyment like i dont play gta online on my pc anymore because i used a mod menu to get myself money and i can buy anything i want all the enjoyment is gone yeah i was annoyed about the tedious long grind of making money in gat but thats what keeps it fun and interesting cheating just makes game lose their enjoyment for both sides
cheaters can justify why they cheat all day long, but the cold hard truth is that they are all beta males at best!
See there is a lack of consequence for cheating now, but in any irl social sphere, try that shit and see how far you walk away time and time again. The karmic tie always catches up. It’s enabling a habit that when applied to the real world will quite literally get you killed in America. If you are bored of Rust because of it’s repetition, one stop playing like an addict and learn to take breaks instead of power grinding through 12 hour sessions so that you rinse down the hyper competitiveness, and two, play different games and come back to it. Players beg for change as fast as share holders demand for profit and title releases. Settle Down and go do something else, this is hyper addiction now with a high demand and low supply.
PLEACE CAN YOU LINK THIE VIDEO 3:12
I searched for years and couldn’t find it
Only way I can see cheats being wiped out of games like this, is super invasive anti-cheat software like Valorant has. Or with the new boom in AI, I’ve heard of developers training AI to detect cheats on a beyond-human level. Would be nice to explore further on competitive open world/survival multiplayer games like Rust or Tarkov
thats true i used over 5k outs to get my aim and i was a beamer but now after the update i use scripts because i dont want to spend more time to train aim
if you need to cheat to play a game then you need to stop playing the game you are clearly dogshit at it if you need to cheat
wait until you guys learn that most popular modded servers were actually selling abilities like esp, damage boosters, health/armor boosts and lenient hit detection for a daily/weekly/monthly fee.
these are usually better than anything that hack sites can sell you…. for example.. the DepShop have subscriptions for client-sided cheats, meanwhile modded servers have subscriptions for server-side cheats which are way more powerful…. although the ESP definitely works better on the client.
and no, you wont find these subscriptions in the modded servers’ public shop haha, wouldn’t want to make players think your server is p2w would you? especially since you could just blame facepunch if anyones caught red-handed…
no, there is usually a private bot command that you can learn from word-of-mouth for some servers which changes frequently (like the old bot on rusticated’s discord server) and there is stipulations, like being banned and/or having abilities revoked if you tell people in a public forum etc
the real problem with hacking in games has to do with capitalism.
i wouldn’t be surprised if facepunch is actually the ones creating websites that sell you the client-side hacks either…. as above so below…. (now think about studios like Activision or Jagex)
If u bought cheat because you don’t like new recoil you are everything that’s wrong with the world today lmao
Trash mentality from a trash player. You were an admin on said and said servers because you felt the need to be recognized, when that wasn’t enough you started looking for alternatives. You want money, go get a job. All you are doing is fill your sad excuse of an ego by not playing the game as you are supposed to. This dude has 0 right to speak about the roam the game takes or the developers work. You are not good without cheats, go search for a different game and stop ruining other people’s experiences.
Great music choice for the video, love to hear Omori soundtracks outside of Omori
Dude I love your espn-style story shorts, I wish I had come up with this style…Bruh it’s so damn good love your vids
You might be talking to a retard or an idiot… not sure. If he thinks cheat devs in rust alone are only making 1 million a YEAR your just an absolute idiot. There are solo cheat devs that make that in a week just selling rust software.
The problem is cheating has become so common, it’s no longer just really bad players obviously cheating. It’s now also good players who are highly competitive. They lose to a cheater enough times and decide to even the playing field adding their skill on top of the cheats to become competitive again. They also tend to be harder to catch because they understand the mechanics on a deeper level.
Wouldn’t trust a lying cheaters excuses what so ever.
I used to run The Chads and Espez/eZeZ with Sliced. We consistently kicked everyone from our groups who scripted or cheated. We lost several players we liked. We still constantly had people scripting trying to get into the clans, even though it was known we would kick and name and shame people who were. Rust has so many problems caused by community mentality. The community is never going to develop a better mentality about these problems. They are just too toxic.
all players lost a sense of control with the recoil update. Cheating gives them back a sense of control.
so ive have been cheating for like 1 year now i cheated because of the new recoil update some people tell me its a “bad excuse” but ive played rust since 2015 and i just started playing devblogs legit again but whenever i play on the new rust i always cheat theres no exeptions i spent 16k hours on this game and like 3k to practice recoil alone and the ruin it completly in 1 update is just ridiculous rust just isnt competitiv anymore there isnt a reason for a veteran of rust to not cheat i know recoil has changed in the past like from 2015-2017-2018/19 i know that but ive spent so many god damn hours too get really really good just so my friend with 5 hours can spray 200 meter with the badest mouse movement and no gamesense btu still hitting everyshot and its not like “some players” cheat because of the new update like 90% of all cheaters/scripters are in this point i think like getting the recoil back and everything ofc reset every hwidban bc if not im going to cheat idc But i have like easily 30 of my friends started to script/cheat like 1 month later the whole update came have the like normal cheating population did get from like maybe 10k cheaters to like 30-60k cheaters every server i join even facepunch has atless 4 cheaters but theyre hiding it so good you dont even noticed that recoil update was a L in my opinion
A game is clearly dead inside when you have to cheat to compete in the game because theres cheaters.
Bro the recoil update is a pathetic excuse the new recoil system is welcoming to new players the old one made it very difficult to adjust and usually just ended up with newer players getting shit on and quitting the recoil update gave newer players a fighting chance and it’s very sad cheaters are using such a thing as an excuse another thing is bro 200 meter spray with any gun is crazy there is no reason for any full auto gun to function better than a sniper at those distances.
Just like Runescape. You don’t sue the people using the cheats. You sue the companies that provide the cheats….
“Heroic admin” has got to be the most soy term I’ve ever heard.
whats with the omori sountrack
There’s absolutely no way that there’s a million dollars floating around from people buying cheats. Zero chance.
Cheating and taking a legit players stuff constantly is no different from spitting in their face. I would fuck these cheaters up.
You need more subs – Awesome videos mate
these cheater are such Sociopath losers there is no excuse to cheat at a game that is supposed to be for fun competition.
if only there was a way to detect GUI that show or even a DLL inject sence we dont inject DLLS but cheats do but this wouldent help with externals but would remove at least over half!
Thinking that this problem can be solved by just wagging your finger at cheaters is hilariously naive
Yeah the culture around it used to be better but the genie is out of the bottle there is no going back
Even if it were possible to perge all the cheaters from your own clan (its not) just a handful of groups not cooperating would kill the whole movement
excellent soundtrack choice
Oh Boo hoo a recoil update came out. That totally justifies ruining other people’s experiences on a 50$ game (which is a lot for a game), if you get “sick and bored” of doing the same thing over and over why don’t you play a new game? There’s literally 0 justification for cheating and hearing this dude trying to explain himself is simply annoying.
so this is just like in ark. in ark every real tribe (clan) has atleast one cheater who has hundreds of accounts that they claimed for free. im not innocent in cheating in both ark and rust. i lost multiple accs on ark and a single one on rust. in my rust clan we currently have one cheater for if someone else cheats against us. on ark every single one of the 80 players in my ark small tribes alliance had acces to cheats with my entire ally being sponsored by a cheat dev. ark is a very different game then rust as a raid can take up to multiple weeks so loosing 20 cheat accs on a single raid isnt uncommon and cheating is legit just a part of ark. hope rust doesnt go down the same path.
What was Bloody Mouse?
cheating in rust never seemed a way for me people have tried to just get me into cheating i left them even after the recoil update i just quit the game but came back and the game is still fun i dont even care about the recoil i just forgot that i spent so much time on the old recoil its my problem that i got hooked on the hook lol
it’s always so strange to me when i see those accoutns that all look extremely identical and how often i come across them.
– the orange or grey rust icon pfp, or the glowing smiley face, or the dark blue one with the kid crying, or just the question mark
– the name is a really strange name – one i often remember is huhuhu or some letterr/numbers, or unpronouncable
– they all play EXTREMELY aggressively and confidently as if they could never get touched
and yet there are so many.. i mean it’s so obvious and people on the servers act like it’s just a normal thing. as if these players are legit
I feel like before there was definitely a lot of closet cheaters because it was just easier as some people were just very good at recoil and I myself got a lot of hackusations but now I see a lot of just blatant cheaters. It’s unfortunate I wish the didn’t change recoil I wish people weren’t pussies and wouldn’t cheat.
Criminally underrated channel
I’m hoping AI cheat detection comes in and changes the game. I play on an Rustafied AU with a bunch of mates. We wonder how many people are using wall hacks or script toggling, cheating can be hard to detect.
I’m going to be honest that I cheat and I still feel bad. It is a rabbit hole I am trying to get out of.
I’ve never played Rust and this just seems funny to me
this wasnt even the first recoil update its just the worst one by far
People cheat in video games because their dad left for cigarettes and never came back and they have a small pp they are compensating for. That simple.
I remember playing SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs (yea, the original) and the only “cheat” that could be done was wall glitching.
Over the years, I’ve seen modded Xboxs cheat the system on Halo, I’ve seen scores on whatever given fighting games for the top 10 players hit humanly impossible numbers, it goes on and on. We’re at a point now where “pro gamers” are often caught cheating and it’s not even news anymore. Cheating will only get worse. It has for over the 20 or so years I’ve been playing online.
Why?
The same reason modern gamers generally won’t beat a game with consulting YouTube, some forums, etc., for the “how to”. It’s just easier than playing the game for ya know, the fun of it. It used to be OK to get the business from better gamers for days, maybe weeks or even months before you were any good.
Why do that, though, when you can just cheat?
I’m not suggesting my generation was any better due to virtue, not at all. Rather, we just didn’t have the same tools available, and video gaming was anything but mainstream. So, again, it’ll only get worse and as long as achievements, trophies, “prestige”, “pro gamers” and all that jazz continues to exist, people will stop playing because it’s fun. If you’re not playing for the fun of it, what harm is there in cheating?
First of all! if you play to get Reactions, just know: you get nothing from it.
No hate full words, no swearing, just an info you have to know. Thanks for reading.
At the end of the day:
Cheating = skill issue
Thousands of camomo clones to admin everywhere lmfao 😂😂😂
Everyone’s cheating cos the recoil change made the game shit. Also cheating is funny as fuck
i now cheat in rust and have 17k hours only 2k cheating so not everybody who cheats is bad i have a whole other pc for cheating js so my main steam acc with rust on it having roughly 15k hours isnt banned
I doubt you read these comments, but I think the first developer to give their ‘community’ (i.e., server admins) the proper tools to log, spectate, and collect data on players/ cheaters is going to do the best against cheating. With AI anti-cheats coming out, the more data you can feed them, the quicker you can identify > confirm > ban.
but theres also the side of rust (mostly clan side) that if you really fuck up they will dox you for ddos you and shit like that i mean the community will never stop cheating if clan leaders are doing this also 99% you meet in rust arent cool with cheating its pretty much only the clans (coming from a former cheater) and clans as most know wont ever change
People cheat coz they ar toxic, simple if i cant have fun neather can u
To think that players that mastered the old recoil in rust, just cheat now is hilarious. All of these people used recoil scripts and now just use a new cheat.
rust is boring game
its a blessing and a curse that majority of cheaters live on the super comp clan servers, if you play those servers its awful but vanilla and more main scene severs suffer far less from cheating, and usually its quite obvious
why cheat? cause everyone cheats and people take the game too seriously.
Though it does completely ruin the experience and ask “why bother”.
But as you said, no matter what medium you’re in you will find cheaters.
You are wrong for adding in “learning the custom smg spray” 🤣🤣🤣 that thing has the easiest recoil
LMAO 😂😂😂 good luck with the community ethics. 😂😂😂😂 LMFAO. read “The Laws of Human Nature” by Robert Green
Great video. Thanks for convincing me to not play rust ever again.
loooota of self pity from these guys, just pathetic
the game is fucked due to cheating lol.
Yep me and my 2 friends got ddossed and messed with by a guy that had cheats to know our compound gate code and changed it multiple time’s probably not gonna play rust until this type of issue is fixed/:
I mean working against the Sark side haspens in all genres! And all do it even if the bad guys Always are one step infront
Cheating sounds so boring. You don’t do anything just let a program play for you.
eac is easy to bypass, lol
Ted needs to calm down and play some new servers. Fuck those cheaters but just because you’re getting beat by them doesn’t mean you have to join them. You just start making it worse for other players
Imagine enjoying having an unfair advantage over people and ruining other peoples day so you can have a better one. Just play the game normally like everyone else and you’ll have your ups and downs but you’ll always have fun. It also just breeds kindness in people when you respect eachother enough to be fair. Just shows how shitty some people are.
In the time stamp “recoil” did you use a song from the game omori called spaces in between?
Hmm, I may be an anomaly, but what makes Rust fun for me is the terror.
I feel if I used wall hacks and aimbots then I could get resources with no fear, and win almost every engagement, and at that point, yea that would be very boring.
I think that’s what is at the core of a cheaters mentality, they just want to ‘win’ maybe their ego either needs the win, or their ego cannot handle a loss.
But to me, it wouldn’t feel like a win if I used cheats so in a way, cheaters really are ruining the potential of having fun for themselves, you’d think, but it’s that ego, they just don’t want to be the person respawning having lost all their crap. 😂
Hell, one night of rust, I played for a few hours and had ZERO to show for it, yet it was fun because every time I ran up that beach, got a little cloth, got a little wood, it was terrifying as all hell, and just really fun.
I am a noob tho, and only play solo.
Very Interesting and great video!
LMAO…. The dipshit being interviewed is a complete shitbag. “Now they made it where the average Timmy can spray an AK from 200 meters away…” Dude KISS MY FAT ASS! Why get mad when a janky mechanic is taken away making the game SLIGHTLY easier? I can’t believe that this initialed shit for brains thinks having a solo have a slightly better chance at aiming IF he can even get is hands on a weapon is a bad thing. I have over 1.5K hours in this game and have hardly ever handled an AK out side of a moded server. It takes groups to have a chance at decent loot for most players. Most people on the game are not sinking in 30+ hours a week in aim training and game play in any game. That doesn’t even bring to light the outrageous amount of cheating going on all over rust. Anyone who do decent at the game get wiped out by the same stupid jackasses every time they make a play nowadays in the game. This guy can suck on my BALLS. If it was up to me he and degenerates like him would get an IP ban from Facepunch and Steam.
You used the omori soundtrack
Bro
Do you want to make me cry?
Love the video , Love the game but its almost instant i know when im cheated aginst. Im positive its alot at this point. Its ruins this game and DayZ.
W video
Another reason Facepunch might not go after cheating is because cheaters will have to buy rust over and over
i could never stand to ted standers. just weak mentality putting more gas on the fire. trying to justify cheating ted XD. poor guy 300$ a week might as well make more money on mac Donalds.
The solution is simple, since Rust has an age restriction anyway, like riot Made with Korea accounts, when you make a Rust acc you need to send your ID which links to your account, If your account is banned for cheating your ID is also banned from registering another account and all accounts linked to that ID Are also banned.
i started my rust journey in 2018 and old recoil def made it more boring and less challenging
stupid video
should a new player get into rust?
Culture plays a huge part in why cheaters prevail. A server and its owner is where the rubber meets the road, and unfortunately the desire for high server population gets in the way of improving Rusts gamer culture. It’s a widely held belief that Rust has the most annoying, toxic, and unfair player base. Cheaters gravitate to games where they are allowed to be the worst human they can be. In Rust, racism, sexism, and overall bigotry abounds. As a Rust player you can get on an “official” server or even a Facepunch server and be absolutely disgusting with extremely little or even no consequence. What a wonderful place to cheat. Cheaters are no different to racists and bigots- they live to enjoy the frustration and suffering of other people. Yeah, its a people issue, a human issue. If you can get away with degrading a person with hatred, dehumanising language, or threats in a game, then folks will come to cheat too. Its not about a high score, or rising to the top of a leaderboard, Rust has none of that. The only joy to be gained is schadenfreude- The enjoyment of anothers suffering. This is why theres such a big problem with stream sniping in Rust as well. These people want to watch other people have their day ruined. Whether it be through racism or sexism or cheating, the bigot gamer just wants to watch the world burn. As long as server owners put pop before the human, cheaters too will be drawn to these servers. Like flies drawn to shit, this will continue to happen unabated. The culture of Rust is defined by the players who come to play, and while servers continue to be swamps of poorly admined revenue makers, this will never cease. In my opinion, the servers and Rust players themselves need to step up and make some changes from within the communities themselves. The culture needs to change. Servers and admins really need to step up. We’ve got to unite on this. Peace, everyone.
Content like this – you need a lot more subs… Great Video
For the players that have been at it so long,Option 1 usually takes to long at times, and you usually you get nothing from it. It doesn’t take them long to get a new account anyway. Option 2 for most people it’s worth it, for security reasons,cost, losing everything you’ve worked for like skins, and then there’s option 3, the option I chose. Having a couple thousand hours in the game and it doesn’t matter after the summer of 22 update. Quitting is the best option at that point, sell your skins and just walk away. I my opinion if more people would chose the high road, number of players for the game would drop dramatically and maybe Facepunch will get their head out of their ass. I don’t see that happening. Rip my rust gaming experience 2015-2023. One of the most difficult last goodbyes. Rust..I gave you all I had. Goodbye 😢
i think one of the biggest issues with cheating in a game in rust is the servers, theres thousands of servers with different teams so theres always servers cheaters can join and it makes it difficult for admins to know if someones cheating or not. ive got friends who are banned from some servers by admins because they thought they were scripting, which i can guarantee they dont, they try making a ticket but alot of admins have massive egos and believe theyre always right so people just get perma banned from servers
every largely known group and youtuber group I’ve played with has has closeted cheaters, its so dissapointing how so much of the og players find cheating acceptable and ruin others countless hours for an advantage.
The recoil change sucked, but was the best thing that ever happened to me. I had 11k hours in the game, mostly over the pandemic. I was at the point I warmed up at 300m with ak. But… I was depressed af. I would have kept playing the game too if it hadn’t been for the recoil change. So instead I played up to the force wipe and unistalled. It was rough. It was my coping mechanism for stress. I would pop on a lecture or a podcast and practice wrestling the S for hours every day. I would get the urge to hop in discord and play with the boys several times a day, but I would always remember it just isn’t the same game. But guess what, the time wasn’t a total waste. See, to practice ak and get it just right every single time you had to learn to practice perfectly and to learn. I would sit with my hands the same exact way. My posture was always the same down to foot placement. I isolated every movement and muscle used in my hand and arm. I practiced reaction time drills and shooting while strafing, using 8x and hollo, spray transfer, head glitching, peaking, all of it. Without the game in my life I had nowhere to put that focus… Except for REAL LIFE. BOYS!!!! I’M A FUCKING 300M TRIPLE HEADSHOT 200IQ PLAYER AT REAL LIFE NOW! First of all, I’m not depressed. I got back into martial arts and working out and I am jacked af. I started 2 businesses and went back to school to double major in psychology and massage therapy. SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO PULL OFF A RELATIONSHIP WITH NOT ONE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, BUT TWO IN A POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIP! I got a new Benz and last week a Lincoln MKX. I read every day. I practiced flirting like it was the AK spray and now even though I have 2 loving long term girlfriends, my inbox is full all the time with lovely women that desire friendship or fuckery, perhaps both. Although I’ll never forget my discord bros ( one I played 8k hours with), I transitioned all of them to social media and we are still friends, AND I have real life bros I wrestle, drink, box, do jujisu, talk, and travel with. One of my discord pals and I (the 8k hour guy) are starting a business together very soon. If I can trust him in a 18 v 2 raid defence I know I can trust him in board and sales meetings lmaooo.
I’m not telling you guys all this to brag. (People will say I’m lying, but they are rhe same losers that always reported me for hacks. ) I’m telling you guys this bc y’all my boys, my clan: and I always share the loot. Just like in rust in life you start out with little or nothing. Butt naked with just the stones between your legs. But if you’re willing to practice and put in the work, maybe do a LITTLE farming. You’ll be hitting triple headies, living in an HQM castle, laughing with the boys, AND SEEING REAL LIFE ACTUAL 4K NAKED TIDDIES AND CRACKS 😂😂😂 Don’t give up, kings! instagram is @thehumankenpow I’ll post a screenshot of my hours if y’all wanna stop by and leave a like.
P.S. You can still play old recoil. Dubs servers has their own launch module, discord, and battlefield and 2x server at the update right before the pvp update. Every so often I get on and play for an hour or so and rage with the boys bc now my spray control sucks 😂😂😂
The rust community is super toxic and i hope the cheating just gets worse.
I had hot takes way before recoil update on cheating, in games far more than rust, a very divisive take that mimics south korea’s system, your account is tied to your citizen social number that is unique and personal, so if you get caught cheating, your account is smoked or severely limited in what you can with it. I am not for such drastic control measures most of the time and value freedom and the ability to not have the government or such in your busniess, but how when cheating is so severe across gaming, AND there is alot of money behind the crazy idea of south koreas system makes more sense… and that scares me because if you consent to such control the people in charge will take more and more away from you.
Most humans are trash.
All Rust players are human….
Therefore many Rust players are cheater trash!
Thank you for not calling them ‘hackers’… Cheating is NOTHING akin to hacking.
the song at the end 😫, it remembers me of good old days
i sure do miss the old recoil.
LOL, cause for cheating is the recoil change? Smells like an excuse for the sake of having an excuse.
ay I was offended btw… I got 7k hours…3:45
Eventually you have to quit Rust if you want to have a “successful” life. I played this past weekend, and it drew me in so much, but I have too many responsibilities now, so I have to leave it alone.
There’s no excuse for cheating.. 4 years and I’ve never cheated, nor will I play with cheaters. If you can’t beat someone who’s cheating head on, then play smarter. Report them, offline them, or zerg them. There’s no excuse to using cheats, or playing with cheaters.
I think Camomo’s videos make a lot of people cheat. If you tell him that in his chat he claims you are a cheater yourself and bans you. The old fat bald guy should stop offering cheaters a stage just to enrich himself.
Been legit cheating for the past 3 years without a single ban, due to using my own cheat and updating constantly, my reason is I’m active duty military and don’t have the free time like these other people, so I go from now to gun in 25 mins lol
Recoil is an awful way to add skill into an FPS game.
Smaller hitboxes, faster movement and movement accel > Recoil
“I like the reaction I get from killing people well cheating” you can tell that guy had a horrible time in school and this is his way of getting attention
Good luck selling the cheats after you’ve completely ruined the game by selling cheats..Idiot.
Now report that guy in interview. Easy
Stopped playing vanilla in 2020. Played on an off since 2013. Epic Games buying EAC and fortnite taking off was bad for Rust. Thats alot of it. Once Epic bought EAC in 2018, rust has only had a worse problem.
Tech has also gotten better and hardware ID bans are now spoofable so online gaming sadly is dying. Maybe not in popularity but fair competition.
I switched to modded servers and just play wipe day/ day 2. I miss when the game was great but its not a bad game today. Just not for me anymore on Vanilla.
Cheats with debugging has ruined even making clunky bases. They just fly around till they find the best route or you leave doors open.
I feel like there has been more respect in the game before recoil update. Having cheats ultimately meant that u were a weak player so u’d hop on UKN instead of buying cheats… Now its just a game of who sees who first.
cheating in rust is different from others solely because the emotional value people have with ‘whats mine is mine, an yours is yours’ this can almost instantly be taken away with a decent cheater who knows what hes doing. lotta the times they cheat solely for reaction purposes only. i can always tell a cheater just by the tone of their voice, almost similar to someone whos about to raid you. they talk to you with a tone like ‘i know im in the upper hand’, theres a personal level with rust that differs from other games, theres no ‘win or losing’ in rust like CSGO, its just what u have, an what you don’t. for someone to hop in a server an ruin your 20 hour progress only being 1-2 hours into a server is exactly what their after.
the interaction n reactions in rust is on such another level to other games ive played i just can’t explain it.
Ever since the recoil update this game is so stale. I have 2.2k hours. Half on old and half on new recoil. Even though I sucked way worse with old recoil the game was so much more enjoyable.
You’re really good at this mate. Excellent video. Bravo.
People have been cheating in games since games were invented. It is actually making them money by the people cheating as they ban the accounts they have to buy more accounts.
What if we made cheater servers where all the hackers and scripters could go on a server and cheat without getting banned. Something like the Minecraft server 2b2t and complete anarchy server that as no rule could work and keep some of the cheaters of non cheating servers.
to make easy money sell a service were you cheat to kill other cheaters
After the update I was doing pretty well, but you win some you loose some. I’m no pro by all means, but I know my aim Isn’t bad… I have 900 hours, I’m pretty well seasoned. Though I’ve had many occasions where in a raid it seems like the enemy team is getting smoked, then all of the sudden 200m beams that feel like an insta on a full auto. It’s like they popped a UAV and switched to a controller with recoil mods… Or like when you pop out on a corner and try to surprise attack them and they skip forward in time and they’ve sprayed an entire mag (Desync)… If you’re cheating on video games in 2023, its just this simple. Your raw talent for competitive based games maybe just needed improvement with practice . Even with those cheats now, you’re still absolute trash. Do better. Also They geta stop letting players with prior bans, appeal and return right back into the player Q? Ya’ll let this shit happen or you just don’t give a fuck anymore? 2/10 This game is washed up.
Any game where first to shoot wins and camping is rewarded will always be a hotbed for hackers. A higher ttk would be the first step.
This cheating mentality is why I quit rust and sold all my skins cause fuck Rust, the devs of Rust are scum and every cheater is scum with zero honor. If they cheat in Rust they fuck you over in your personal life too. (true storyx3)
I used to cheat in rust, I really wish I could go back and chose not to I spent around 700$ on cheats and lot my main account with around 300$ of skins on it and need to use a spoofer to play servers without being ip or hardware banned. Please if anyone is thinking about cheating don’t do it not worth it.
This is why I love rust console , may be frowned upon but so pure and no hackers , the best in the server have skill, and skill only
I like the part at the end it was inspirational
I feel like cheating is bad but most people like you said minors (like me) create them for the rush it’s like feeling that you accomplished som thing.Its a rush of adrenaline and happiness and joy after youre finaly done after hours of research and trials and error most people don’t even create cheats for money or to cheat.Alot of times it’s for improving,better understanding,learning and being happy with your self.
i’m cheating because i hate how people play and are and i want to ruin there day
Rust could peruse legal action AND make it good for PR by literally showing the cheater being awful in chat for 5 seconds
don’t forget to publish fake cheats to brick people’s computers, that’ll keep em gone for longer than a ban and cost em more than a second account, simply more effective.
My man went “recoil update “ excuse such a weak minded person like the rest of the cheaters
If you have to cheat to keep up with competition after the recoil update you were never good in the first place, you just had way to much time on your hands.
Cheating ruined Tarkov for me shits so weak
A gamers story as old as time.
Great video indeed! I would also make a remark here about how Facepunch cheats young kids who are taught in a survival game how to GAMBLE. They infect young kids with the gambling disease. And if anyone think that is not such a big deal, just look around at how gambling industry is thriving, and these kids end up going in real casinos to continue the thrill they get in game gambling. I think facepunch should remove all the gambling if they care about the wellbeing of their customers
Averages players may have a chance to actually play against long term players and we ( bitches) don’t like that so we make it ever more unfair for new people.
If you see a russan player = 99.99999999% cheater
I dont think i ever seen a russan player in rust that didnt cheat.
“They cheat to make money”… yet they could make more money at fucking McDonald’s
as a former developer of rust cheats, owner of reselling businesses, and beta tester, what so ever. Most rust players quit after a long period of playing, either due to recoil changes, updates making the game feel more pve, or just general bad updates, making the grind worse and more unenjoyable. Wanting something new, and starting to stream snipe, most people fall in love and never stop. Like an addiction.
Saying that the average Timmy can spray the AK from 200m away after new recoil update is crazy 🤣 does he forget aimcone exists?
The people that are blaming the recoil change as an excuse why they “started” cheating were scripting 100% before. This is such a poor excuse 💀💀💀
I’d say atleast 10% of player base run cheats
Really great Video and truely nice editing. I was shocked to see how small this channel is for this quality
The cheats are endorsed and not going away. For example, CSGO console cheat menu is in the game! Why give these cheating no skill people anything to work with?
Rust is just 30% cheaters using esp or admin abusing. The whole PC gaming experience now the feels hacked to bits.
Good video but I hate this entitled opinion that the AK spray was something that was taken away from people who shot at a wall hours a day every day. Coming from early rust and legacy, we didn’t have this same spray pattern to memorize and the spray pattern itself was a hold over from using placeholder counterstrike mechanics/guns. The fact it wasn’t replaced in like 2016 was always embarrassing and the fact people want it back in a movement shooter or it’s unfair others can compete annoys me. The game has changed in so many more dramatic ways, ones that often don’t suit or fit me and I’m forced to adapt, what makes your recoil spray special that it gets some exception? Because it was really hard to mater? How do you think I felt when I have to practice my AK spray to compete in a silly sandbox game now infested with an influx of tryhard 12 year olds instead of the fun old community and mechanics it used to have. I had to adapt and the game changed and improved from legacy in the same way it’s changing and improving now. Recoil sprays are just not a friendly mechanic, it’s gate keeping to anyone who isn’t gonna practice for hours and hours a day while not even playing the game. People got lives and jobs and some of us WANT new players to be able to join and play and stand a chance. Kind of a mindless angry rant but seriously it’s so hypocritical when people complain the game changed because recoil sprays were FINALLY fixed, completely ignoring the fact people like me had to put up with it and wait for this change for like 10 real life years. Go play CS if that’s all you care about except you won’t find success doing that because CS actually is built around that shooting and mechanics, it has chokepoints and hallways and smokes and roles for this stuff. Rust was designed like a battle royale in scope and size, do you think fortnite needs recoil too? Like of course not. Get over yourselves.
Imagine not being able to pull down the mouse
If u cheat u are the biggest loser, and if u laugh at that comment u are coping
Why do you only have 3 videos dude I’m addicted to the history of rust
Great video
If you cheat in a video game. You’re a sad, pathetic loser. You cant even play a video game fairly? How are you going to handle life? You lil narcissistic pos 😂😂
I think the way he made this video with some horror vibes like they were serial killers or cheating is some spooky scary thing is pretty cringe😂
I always hate th2 “recoil update ruined rust” when it isn’t even the only on they’ve done among the years.
Worst part is it be Facepunch’s own servers with the most cheaters!! Playing official servers in rust is a double edged sword w/o active admin(moderation) cheaters have a brief opportunity to use their cheats before inevitably getting banned
dont sue the minors buying the cheats sue the mfs makin them bc if theres no one to make them then theres no one to buy them
A.I. anticheat is the future
10 years gaming no cheatings and i ama dissent gamer and i get no where
i still get beamed just as fast as before the update
Snitch? Are you promoting cheating? Why not just say reporting?
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the boosting. Lots of legitimate players are paying third parties to have people come in and gather resources, help perform raids, etc. Not sure it counts as “cheating” but it definitely makes it unfair to players who can’t afford to do it.
There is no word in which cheating is a “competitive edge.” Cheating just ruins the experience for people that are actually being competitive by someone that has given up and become too much of a pussy to compete.

There is hope for anticheats
.
Doesn’t matter what sort of justification they use or what sugar coated paint job anyone wants to put over it, cheaters are all little bitches. My teammate once said it best; If I win for any reason other than my own skill it wasn’t a win.
i really dont understand cheating to look good because at that point youre just a poser. the guys who just goof off are a little funny, and in some games i dont mind it. i paid for a decent mod menu in gtav way back because i was tired of the other cheaters blowing me up constantly and being an ass. i would drop money to the whole lobby to fight against rockstars inflation and i had tools to crash other cheaters games and block their cheats from affecting me. i dont wanna be cringe and call it vigilantism, because its not that serious, but people in lobbies always appreciated my presence, and i had a lot of fun cleaning up lobbys this way. when they introduced one of the big updates they cracked down hard on cheating and i messed up and got banned, lost all my progress, and the menu died.
in games like vrchat mod menus are fun and let you move in interesting ways, bring quality of life improvements the game has been missing since 2017, and because of how prolific it was vrchat did actually do decent updates. unfortunately it sparked a bit of a culture war between malicious groups, people who live only in vr and have their main social life there, without a grasp on real reality, and casual/old school players. to us og players it was really neat to have anti crash and noclip, to just goof off more and have fun, to those who made it their life it was the biggest annoyance, and that caused more and more malicious groups, also people with no lives, to get egos about mods and make worse crashers and charge money for them. this huge argument lasted about 2 years with mod menus being in a gray area, until recently when vrchat officially took a stance against them.
in competitive games cheats are always cringe. youre winning but what joy does it bring you. im not that great at rocket league but i have no desire to cheat. thats not me getting that rank. in non competitive games that are more just for fun, i think sometimes it can add an interesting and fun more open experience, when not abused.
omori music caught me off guard😭
As a former cheater. I didn’t do it because I was bad at the game, I did it because I got bored. It was expensive and I lost friends in the process, it’s not worth it. Just don’t do it!
Crazy how I ran into a cheater yesterday to all hacks Into my base follow bots me on twitch Killing my stream and then getting into my discord to try and disrupt it and now I see this video.
Community ethics are not a thing this game is toxic. Between this and rocket league? I don’t know what it is but it seems that I play exclusively toxic games.
Cheaters are scum, that take away the experience from legit players. 😑😞
I think lawsuits and making cheating a misdemeanor (on servers where explicitly banned) would fix this very fast.
Nah fuck dem kids sue they asses to the ghetto homes. Cheatin ass rugratz.
People cheat because they are bad at the game. Im sure everybody in life is good at something and being good at something should turn it into a hobby. I am very good at FPS games but i struggle in strategy games so i dont really play strategy games. Im not gonan start cheating in online strategy games because im bad at the game or because im trying to earn some sort of respect from my friends by being good at the game. No i just play whatever i like and whatever im good at.
AI anti cheat!
Absolutely scum bags. They should be hunted down IRL!!!
Informative video. Earned my sub, thanks Jack
It’s just so Wierd to me. Like nobody’s forcing you to play the game. Why not just play a dif game
Gta 5 online has entered the chat
Cheaters in Rust are grade A bitches
– “I started cheating because I was just so bored of the game” – every Rust cheater ever
literally stop playing the game then
Lets be fuckin real… the people cheating now are the same people that used scripts and half sens before the recoil update. And server networks like Rusty Moose turn a blind eye to the people with cheat histories running private cheats off a second computer
I started playing rust in 2014. Not counting legacy, this has been the height of cheating.
SHIT EXCUSES CHEATERS ARE JUST DIRTY GRUBS WHO F THE GAME
Imagine spending hundreds (thousands) of hours being a try hard, only for the developers to make one part of the game more even for anyone who has a life, and your response is to cheat.
Seriously, What’s the point? You loved the game enough to play for thousands of hours, but this update is the bridge too far? And for what? So everyone can think your recoil or aim cone RNG is more lucky, more often? Isn’t that the main argument that you’re mad about to begin with? I guess this was expressed around the 11:00 mark but goddamn, what a sad existence making pixel gathering adventure easier, by completely ruining the game for both yourself and everyone else.
*I play modded, “x” times gather/spawn rate servers pretty often, and the game looses its fun after an hour or two, depending on just how overly modded it is..always to the point where; too modded is too excessive. It becomes boring, fast. Every pixel looses the original value that the developers had intended. I can’t imagine it being fun knowing that my shots never miss, just so that I can bring more of that same loot home; knowing I pushed a button for it, and it was all but guaranteed to be in my inventory afterwards..
Played hundreds of hours on US West 2. Met some friendly neighbors once and played with them the following wipe. Had to report one of them for association who ended up getting banned. They really tried to hide it too.
i was an admin for just about 4 years. maybe close to 5. for ‘fied and cnd. i ended up kinda just frying myself out on it all and left the game behind probably a year and a half ago now. just couldnt do it anymore. it was endless. and i mean endless and _neverending_ lol. theyre *relentless* and live most their lives just trying to do what they do and get around us. it was exhausting. getting these guys and their groups only for them to be back in minutes on other accounts. rinse recycle repeat etc ya know? i loved this game. between my personal account and admin accounts ive got 10k hours. i havent loaded it up in a long time now. i still watch a couple streamers cuz theyre so fun to ride along with.
great video and think you hit key points really well.
somehow just found ur channel today and i can dig it.
but on another note, ur profile picture is GODTIER!!!! subbed af
What’s about rust leading to child p discords ? What about all the kids that get exposed and used by people who play this game?
There’s an ai being developed that can detect cheaters based on gameplay 100% of the time, this is the future of anti cheat
I’ve been playing Rust since Legacy and it is honestly shocking just how deep the rabbit hole is for Rust’s dark side. Cheating, DDoSing, DOXing, and just absurd amount for vile things people get up to with this game. If you ever decide to make a Dark Side of Rust style video I can’t wait to see it and if you need info I’d be willing to help. Also Great video keep it up!!!
This is the point ppl are at with COD. Cheating is rampant in just about every multiplayer shooter. We need better anti-cheat. AI will be the answer. We just need the devs to admit it’s as bad as it is, which they won’t. They down play it, which from a business standpoint is more cost effective.
Player over 4 years in Rust and over 6k hours in game.
Like many, I stopped playing right after the recoil update. Recoil would have been oke, but removing the iconic sounds was too much.
I am not shocked many veterans turned to cheating. Heck I thought of it too.
In the end I didn’t do it . I sold my skins. Made around 150$ out of them and bought new games.
Rust is a joke at this point and developers are a bunch of wannabe corporate dicks.
Love the Omori music
Here’s the thing tho it’s such a big problem that innocent players are getting banned as well. My buddy has over 11k hours and has been playing since the game was browser based and he got game banned because he was “cheating” when in reality he wasn’t and used hand cams and other stuff to prove his innocence. This has been hard for him to get back into the game because he gets banned instantly by so,e admins because they see he has a game ban on record. There is no solution :/
I say do it like CSGO , let the community help . After a certain amount of reports have a Certain players watch replays/clips and determine if the “suspect” was cheating. Obvs you’ll have multiple people decide each case to minimize innocent bans. Judges can be selected by skill level and or amount of hours played . Do this ONTOP of there current anti cheat system , I’m sure the community would love to help for free to get rid of cheater!!
IMAGINE trying to justify cheating 🤣🤣🤣
In my opinion cheaters cheat because its a lot of fun, especially for a game such as Rust which has VOIP and the intrinsic nature of the game promotes some amount of toxicity/competitiveness. This contributes hugely to the satisfaction gained from cheating. Cheaters get a kick out of the reactions of the people that are subjected to their cheating such as when a 11 year old screams obscenities into the mic as you loot his body . The reactions gained from the victims of cheating are the reason cheaters will cheat.
lol? ”we cheat because rust made game to easy” no you chat because you’re pathetic losers
The sad reality is that Facepunch makes money off of cheaters. It’s up to the server owners to invest… and implement custom anti-cheats.
nah an average timmy cannot spray at 200m with AK at all, that is some hard copium if I ever heard it
What about IP ban then?
“Its called easy anti cheat because of how easy it is to cheat.” I Forgot who said this but it was a Rust content creator and I thought it was hilarious, and kind of true.
I banned at least 30 cheaters in my rust carreer, when I used to play a lot. We need to keep taking their wipe away with every opportunity. What I found weird is that, while you say community should be involved, in your “worst player” video you don’t outright condemn that guy, saying he might have been beneficial for the community. How is building a sub community that is fine with cheating ok in any way?
Permaban everybody who plays with a cheater aswell. That would even make cheaters fear if somebody in the team uses cheaper, easy detectable cheats.
Ohhh noooo they made it easier for me to shoooot peoooople😢😢😢 dude really? The update hasnt effected me much at all im more paranoid yeah, but that just makes it more scary which i love. I like games where theres so many lows…that just makes the highs So Damn Sweet!
people who cheat in videogames should go to jail call me crazy but it should be a thing
Good vid man. Enjoyed the watch 🙂
great video bro
it all omori music lol
If they was skilled enough to learn the recoil pattern then they can do it now
I call bullshit
I honestly think cheating would go down drastically if a 2b2t like server with no rules or limitations was implemented
Should check out rust console with the amount of MNK’s and Zens their
Bros making 1200 a month hhahaha
coming from a ex cheaters perspective, i see cheating as a short term entertainment and thats why every game will sooner or later die out with cheaters but there are some others causes for toggling such as others doing it or simple features that make the game look better or feel better such as remove textures or fov sliders in some cases. From cheating i can say that it depends as i found it as almost an aim trainer i mean from all the countless hours esping and aimboting with very low sensitivity so that it acted as an aim assist i was able to actually play like 5 times better without cheats as you kind of learn everyones positioning and learn spots that people commonly are at and i sub consciously now peek them every day i play but that dosent mean that its fair and i guess theres a good reason why cheats are banned but from many cheaters ive closet cheated with it seems like its just really enjoyable being able to hit clips you never were able to do until you start doing them because of muscle memory of repetitively peeking others in a certain spot to the point where you dont need an aimbot anymore your brain just does that for you
😂
cheating has been a problem in this game since it came out, and ALL of your favorite content creators either cheat or team with cheaters for the sake of getting good content, because the reality you learn playing Rust, is that without cheating you can’t have fun because EVERYONE does it,
I played for 3k hours got bored and cheated and it became really addicting like seriously. Cheating is a really bad addiction that I have no idea how to explain. And I didn’t use a spoofer the first time I cheated so now I have an hardware ban and just wanna play rust legit again.
Over 50% of people cheat
Cute video but will fall on deaf ears.
Evil doesn’t care about ethics, EAC, or your feelings.
Some people just want to win no matter what.
Others feel entitled to it for personal disadvantages.
Even more will do it out of frustration.
The only reason it will keep persisting is because there’s more and more computer science majors alive than 10 years ago.
You think all these comp-sci kids don’t think about making cheats?
This was soooo good
This vid came out a month before g0ats viral video on tarkov. Hats off to you sir. This deserves more views
I think there has been a societal shift as well… We need to reinforce ideas of sportsmanship, fair play, and what ‘game’ means.
It is a competition with self and character basically.
Society really needs that (somewhat dishonest) mantra – “its not winning but but how you play the game” , reinforced.
(Everyone getting a prize in schools for example is a lie and ruins character.)
Honesty needs more emphasis, by parents, peers and society generally. Imo.
1M in cheats, Guy clearly doesn’t have a real tangible idea of how much money Rust cheats alone are bringing in.
the same people who cheat now used recoil scripts back then 😂 cope is real blaming the recoil update
The recoil change is just an excuse. They are just douches that can’t compete on equal grounds.
Move to console edition? May not be as good as pc rust but has terrible recoil control
ye no hes right about the clan cheating problem and as a cheater i can say its really bad even the top teams of atlas vital rustacamy just let cheaters run in and out
Cheaters will just party with other cheaters. Biggest issue atm are the semi suttle cheaters who are clearly hacking on a new account but say they came from console and other bs I was king of a server one wipe as a solo always getting large oil and cargo but then a due moved in next to me and started cheating -_-
Hence why I stopped playing Rust, too many cheaters and when you watch vids most of the creators are cheating too. Shame, its really an amazing game.
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Good video, can you maybe include music timestamps
This dude just sounds like a loser lol. “I cheated cause I got bored” no you cheated cause you’re getting dogged on. In my 2k hours of Rust cheating has not popped into my head as a thing to do.
Go touch grass my guy
If You Cheat In Onlime Gams, FUCK YOU
Also, bro didn’t have to use the completely naked player model in that one shot 😂😂
You literally can’t even play a wipe on a dead server and not run into a cheater. Literally run into two or three every fucking wipe. It’s irritating to say the least. You work hard, get good at the game just to have a cheater with god mode shoot you through walls in your base and boom straight to your tc with his buddies who aren’t cheating taking all your hard earned loot. You can fight it or anything just log off and take it. Bs.
They banned not only bloody, but all A4tech mouses which is dumb imo. But cheaters still run around
If you’re big enough you can ask an admin to watch you when they’re hard cheating
Just buy cheats yourself. Put files on auto detect to your anticheat… so anyone who starts these cheats could be found out instantly….cheat devs would update cheats send you new version to your secret email account since ur paying customer….repeat this…. 😀
I was not expecting the Omori music at the beginning, great music choice sir
Console everyone has Cronus zen. I don’t tho. I won’t.
dude you can’t just be using the omori ost in a video like this 😭lol
people who took up cheating because they changed recoil are coping so hard its sad, if you couldn’t adapt to the recoil change you weren’t good before the change.
These kids actually sound like such goobers lmao
I think it’s a totally wack excuse to use a certain wipe or change to the game as a reason to ruin others’ experiences and cheat, period. That whole toxic clan renaming antagonizing or whatever stuff is super childish and has to be maturely dealt with lol, if you choose to play rust on some competitive clan level you’re kinda putting yourself into an environment that’s bound to be toxic around all those people eventually, that’s your choice; dealing with it by cheating *as well* just ruins the games for others and eventually yourself as well, cheating saps the enjoyment and replay value anyway. Additionally using *money* as a reason or excuse to cheat is a very poor reason lol, a few hundred dollars even? unless you’re a massive developer with a lot of customers i dont see this as a proper time value takeaway ratio. A few hundred dollars from god knows how many hours of messing about and wasting accounts or creating new ones or buying new ones and then how many hours wasted ingame testing or even contacting or communicating with a buyer who’s a reliable cheater (gl w that as well),,, you’re unlikely to have a lawsuit on a smallscale but it’s still pretty dumb imo vs just having a legitimate moneymaking job making more and playing for fun lol
The recoil update was fine but the new fucking gun sound made me quit, just horrible, Good video though
the cheater you interviewed was terrible.
Cheaters have plagued FPS’ for decades… it’s purely ego based and at the end of the day, they have a false impression of themselves being good that spreads into their real lives and thus proceed to have emotional and mental breakdowns ‘cos they can’t find the cheat sheet for their sad reality of an unsuccessful, basement boy lifestyle. It’s really them who lose in the long run.
I just found this video. something kind of interesting, this issue is less prevalent in Asian countries as it is tied to you unique social security number, if you get caught you basically are barred from most things. not saying the strict more communist approach is right, just interesting.
Great video.
DNA bans is the solution
This game encourages cheating and it will never change.
so in other words the devs changed it so people cant script as much and you cant script which means your shit so you decide to rage hack how about rage unalive yourself and do everyone a favor cheaters are oxygen theives
im going to say it… Facepunch secretly supports cheating because it makes them money. There are so many ways to counter people getting on new accounts and cheating on them and they have not done anything about it.
So u learned to cheat and play games. I see where you get it from me and you’re mom were just playing games while she was cheating on ur dad. Makes sense why u cheat
u dont know how much i enjoy these vids of yours man.
How do I get a recoil cheat boys?
What kind of smoothbrain logic does the first guy have? He got bored of the same thing so decided to still play the same thing with no challenge whatsoever instead, pathetic that people even entertain these excuses such as the recoil update as well
hope more people see this it might lower cheaters
Hearing people cheat bc the recoil update is laughable f all u cheaters I’ve been he4e since the beginning and never cheated
after the recoil update i had guys who never cheated start cheating for fun friends i knew for years that despised cheaters the game does not feel rewarding anymore for playing
you’re trying to tell me they do it for the money and only make 300 in a week. Bruh for the amount of time people put into rust just to maybe get 300 is laughable.
you dont sue the cheat users, you sell the cheat developers/sellers, look at what Bungie is doing
Changing the old recoil wasn’t the move i see alot more cheaters than i did before. With the old recoil you still have a chance believe it or not but now the new recoil has ruined everything
Cheating because of the recoil update is the weakest excuse there is. You cheat because you’re weak minded
Making the game more accessible to casual players is the best way to keep the game you love alive and such.
And remember cheaters never win!
thx bout to sell cheats, thx for explaining step by step on how to sell em GREAT VIDEO
The solutioin is if you are cheating you should be banned. Good video though 🙂
This is really well done. Rust and Tarkov are pretty much my two favorite shooter games ever, and it’s such a shame to see cheating get as bad as it has in both games. I have no sympathy for any of the individuals in this video regardless of what led them to start cheating, and I think your point about cheating being just as much a community problem as a developer problem is spot on. Yes, there is a lot more that can be done in terms of active administration and more advanced anticheat features, but the community also need to be doing as much as possible to report and shame cheaters.
3:30 Cheating because of a recoil pattern change is retarded .Then they think it proves a point, thats sad . they also say “oh i dont wanna relearn from scratch” …YOUR PLAYING RUST!!! …Children! that’s all it is immature CHILDREN.
Rust developers decided to exchange the scripting problem for a cheating problem. Wasn’t a great idea
EAC is fucking terrible btw, not only doesn’t it work, it is also partially owned by tencent, who is now kneedeep in your OS, and to top it off, normal rust servers don’t allow you to use linux due to EAC, even though other games that use it do. It’s literally retarded
what a weak fucking argument, ”spray got better therefore I’m cheating now”
I feel like every since the new recoil update the game became stale asf, i spent alot of hours practicing recoil control to the point that i would be frequently reported upon killing some1. this was extremeley funny to me, seeing people become so upset after i killed them, i would farm clips of people shouting extreme profanity to me or they would come online raid me in the middle of the night. All of this was what made the game so fu and real to me, getting rewarded with all of these funny interactions after spending quite some time in the ukn servers. but when they changed the recoil, i had no impressive spray anymore i couldnt just turn around and double/triple the people shooting at me, i just became average. yes i still do win most of my fights due to ghamesense, but its nowhere as fun as simply destroying some1 with my spray control. And back in the old recoil days i actually stood a chance against cheaters, now i just get destroyed. by people with esp, aimbot soft aim etc. I really hope they implement some kind of way to have old recoil and new recoil servers, because they literally just took out one of the key parts of the game without warning, its the same as fortnite, dont u think alot of people wouldve startet cheating or leave the game if they just completely removed building, taking out key compartemnts of the game especially when it comes to pvp, is a disater waiting to happen
11:44 / 12:05
omori background music… 10/10
The thing about cheating in games especially ones that cost money is that it has and will always be a revenue stream. As much as companies/devs say they do everything to get rid of cheaters its not really true because they make up for a large amount of the revenue made. Devs don’t want cheaters to just not be able to play they want them to play but get banned if that makes sense so they have to buy a new account making the devs money. While its prob expensive af look at Valorant with their kernal shit. I’ve played that game for at least a few hundred hours and I’ve seen one cheater and he got banned on round 2 just shows how effective something a little more intrusive/custom I guess can be. Another pretty crazy example of this is tarkov that game makes at least like 50% of their money from cheaters buying new accounts. And you know when you really think about it I cant blame the devs so many players play without ever spending a penny on the game after the initial purchase and making money in this industry is pretty tough.
The guy you interviewed (admin->cheater) was such a dumbass. Constantly contradicting himself in the SAME sentences, trying to justify cheating as if it is inevitable n shit. All I got from that guy is that cheaters are entitled and simply not that smart in the brain, which helps with justifying cheating to yourself, I suppose.
dude ur so fucking good at story telling 😀 Keep the good work up <3
There is no solution in any game for cheating problem 🙂 you can reduce cheating but you can’t remove hackers completly thats absolutely not possible
I was one of the people who saw success on YouTube from the old recoil and teaching people how to practice effectively. My content took an entirely new direction afterward. I did say at the time that cheating was going to get much worse. I warned that ESP would become a lot more common. I felt mocked by a lot of other creators that my stance was basically that this change in development would cause a lot of problems. Some agreed but most didn’t. A couple of things I think could help this problem: Make it so you need to authenticate your identity to play on your account. Another would be a very intrusive anticheat. I think EAC is named “easy anti cheat” because bypassing it is easy. Another issue we have is that cheaters are able to make videos of them cheating and sniping creators and uploading that footage to YouTube. I hope a policy change will see those channels removed in the future as it’s free advertisement for cheaters’ tools. A lot of servers have rules that allow recidivism to take place (i.e. you can have a game ban if it’s 180 days old, teammates don’t get banned if they’re caught playing with a cheater). Another thing I hope to see in the future is the complete removal of battlemetrics and a standardized set of plugins that admins can use to detect cheats SHARED with every server owner. I’ve seen the plugins that some servers use and it’s laughable what they can use to catch cheaters. Some servers are going so far as to develop their own anticheat plugins, which caused me, a legit player, to catch a ban. I got it removed but still. I would prefer that each server owner have access to the same tools, but currently this isn’t happening because server owners are spending their own money to create their own intellectual property (anticheat) that they don’t really want to give out for free. Lastly, in regards to battlemetrics, I think it’s nuts. If you’re a creator you have to pay to get your info scrubbed from this website otherwise cheaters will share every time you go live and say what server you’re on to everyone. Then these players follow you around in game hoping to get clips or to use you as free advertisement for their cheats. Making that money helps them buy new accounts.
i have never cheated and will never cheat in a videogames and if ur a cheater u a lil bitch
I chose option 3. I quit Rust. I really liked it at first. The competitiveness aspect drove me, game had huge potential, but it was unmanaged and now we’re here. The only server I had fun was a Polish server who had mostly Poles and sometimes Chechs and Lithuanians (Russians banned day one war in Ukraine and cause they cheat like crazy).
Server was managed by a community, wasn’t competitive-by-force on players, those who wanted to fight heavily build in heavy locations (snow, middle), those who wanted a “noob” experience could have seen their bases last thru the whole wipe. Toxicity was quickly cut down, noobs were not harassed and even there was a unspoken rule that noobs should be helped (for labor like sulfur or for laughs), could be trolled, like got their base raided, but with a note that if they want it all back, its gonna be 5k sulfur, etc. Server had a lot of very experienced players who apart of forming a community, didn’t need or want to cheat and cause they had skill they caught cheaters quickly, staff was super quick to react. I learned the game there, really really liked it. And then I joined the public server. Oh my.
So, the future of Rust – if there is any – is within local communities. At some point, I’ll forget about my previous experience and retry Rust. But the time is not here yet and will not be for many more years.
6:54 small cock industry
rust is awesome game , it’s sad how bad cheaters ruin this game , im myself playing this game since legacy and suffering cheaters until today
it’s crazy cuz game cheating it can become an addiction
You explained the main reason then completely overlooked it. Cheaters start cheating after killed killed by cheaters. There needs to be more active admins especially if the server is making stacks of cash
I watched another video about the problems of cheating in Tarkov, and apparently there is a solution to cheating which is being implemented right now into many games, so they claim: AI cheat detection methods.
That is, AI monitors the play style of players, and if it recognizes that they’re playing in a “non human” way, it boots them, with apparently almost 100% accuracy (That is, no false positives).
TLDW: get good
omori ost nicee
If you have to cheat to win then you didn’t win.
A lot of cheaters aren’t terrible people like I am a cheater and I play to either give out loot or play strictly on 1 millionx to make sure to not ruin the fun but it is a problem
Reminds me of tarkov cheats lol. We’re all in the same boat I see
Bring back a new recoil similar to old where we can relearn it instead of adding aimcone. Back in the day we out sprayed scripters even aimbotters but now, now we cant do jackshit when a guy sprays you 250m double hs *every time*. Ngl maybe it was necessary for them te relief me from countless ours of playing vanilla instead ive moved on to 10x and for 12 hours in 3 days of playing on a weekend, ty.
Keep the rust Docs up man!! Loved the Kinn one as well
They thought getting rid of me would solve the cheating issue. With me and Ripped Robby gone, it’s 1000x worse than it was when I was active. I love to see Facepunch dealing with this, the game is meant to be toxic, but their developers and staff team (especially Errn) are even more toxic then their community. I hope people keep cheating on Rust, and making it worse every day 😀
yeah, I felt this, spent 8,500 hours of my life to devoting to an AK, they updated recoil and I went to cheating, unforunate.
Question: I‘m about to play Rust for 1st time. Should I buy or not? Too many cheaters or is it playable?
Yeah, its really lame the state of the game even with FP doing alot to make the experience on the game easier. I’ve completely turned away from pvping and became a roleplayer whom only build traps for loot, its a shame that if you go out farm a guy/team suddenly comes from 2+ grids far straight for you with their ESPs, Its in a state that even trying to flank ppl on dense forests with camo skins is becoming kinda impossible, its just crazy and I dont have the age to stress myself with brainless kids that use third party software to have the upper hand. So I just collect their salt tears on my “noob trapbases l2p the game” and am happy with it.
The omori ost 😭
“Started cheating to prove a point” what a loser. You spent 5k hours learning recoil and you have no life. Cool, but that made the community way more toxic and smaller. I’m glad they changed the recoil to make the game slightly easier. It’s plain and simple if you cheat because you are mad or bored either get off and play something else to don’t play at all. Ruining the game for others is ridiculous. Stop being a fatass and get a life.😂
well the cheaters excuse, having spent so much time on mastering blablabla, games recoil changed several times people simply got with the new one
LOL imagine being hurt by the recoil changes. It has been changed multiple times. If Timmys are a problem for you then change your positioning. Gone are the days of running around straight up braindead because you spent 200+ hours practicing how to move your mouse a specific way.
Great video bring back the recoil
2:51 this true 6 of my rust friends got hacks when the update came out
rust has gotton to a point that everyone gets pissed at the game so they buy cheats
awesome vid. subscribed 🎉
great vid
I’ve got nothing to say about cheating or Rust, but since we’re here confessing, I ate some shrooms and binge watched all your videos Jack, your shit is fire, I can’t wait to see more videos.
Also, I played Rust mostly PvE for most of my playtime so feel free to disregard my opinion 😉
The Solution: You need to sign up to a service for all games, with your real life ID. Cheat once, get fucked and never be able to play an online game ever again in your life. May as well also add prison time.
omori background music w
I will say as a PC gamer i actually do not wanna be here anymore and i’m thinking about buying one of the next gen consoles a point where i’m thinking about walking away from PC gaming due to the PC master disgrace cheating in so many games .
There is an AI anti cheat solution, however, it would probably cost us some monthly sub, but I would be down for it as one who spent almost 7k hours dealing with cheaters almost on a daily basis.
W man for using omori music
Cheaters ruin games. I don’t know how you get any satisfaction from a game knowing you can only win by cheating.
If cheating was to be wiped out, we wouldn’t have Camomo_10 videos to laugh at any more.
The conclusion is genius!!
remember when they said the recoil update would help? games unplayable now
I’m not sure why you don’t have more subscribers.
this video was fire
It’s just a game fam…..
From the end of the video 11:36 it’s your shot or mine! Stop taking a game so seriously.
“I need cheats to play” if you’re not winning here, I am sure there is a game and a time where you would win.
I lose like hell on Rust but in my mind, I am good on games like Doom or Ion Fury, I’ll even crack it up to Nightmare difficulty playing regularly. The game is meant to be fun in shooting or being a goofball, so go easy guys no cheats 👍
Thanks for your side of the story.
The ending convinced me to cancel Chegg 😂
is “ted the clan leader” vincent smg lmao
After 15k Hours in the game I can tell you what Facepunch needs to this cheater epidemic that has been going on for years, is AI Based Anti-Cheat and. 0 tolerance for cheaters once you’ve been caught that account is permanently banned. You are not allowed to play the game again, ever. Yes they can get a new account, but once they are caught that account is gone for good, this should be enforced by Facepunch not by server owners. I will think this would drastically reduce the number of cheaters in the game.
Average Timmy had me dead 🤣🤣
I’m a cheat in video games, and I can agree with some parts of it. I cheat for two reasons, mainly that I’m a developer, I make money off of it.I sell invite-only cheats. It not only generates me money, but it also creates a close invite-only community, which means people are trying so hard to receive an invite. Some users even sell invites for 300$ or more, which is strictly against the rules, and will get them banned. Someone will re-invite them eventually, but once they purchase a subscription again, they get insta banned by the system as it detects them as multi-accounters, and this continues on. It generates even more money. The second reason why I cheat, is really simple. Other cheaters. And cheating can be fun. Cheating against legit people is BORING. But in many other videogames (including CS:GO), there are servers designed for HvH (hacker vs hacker), where everyone cheats. It’s way harder than playing legit, as everyone is cheating, and you gotta know WAY MORE tactics. There are also HvH tournaments going for a lot of money, or cheat invites, or in some really rare cases, cheat developers sponsoring with LIFETIME subscriptions (which you can not buy most of the time).
Cheating connects you with a brand new community, and let’s you meet brand new people, make brand new friends. It gives you a new perspective.
Very poor automated anti-cheat, extreme penalties for dying and not even a replay cam/system to catch and report people and an industrialized cheating complex. What could go wrong? Its amazing how many times I burn people in a fight, only for them to come back off spawn and toggle and kill me in 3 shots instantly like a auto turret before I can get away with the loot. I’ve given Rust a fair chance and I like it, but I won’t continue for long because this type of game is a cheater’s wet dream. Hope enhanced AI anti-cheat hits the market soon or else shooting games online is pretty much dead for me.
Good video keep up 👏
New recoil sucks. I remember posting about it on the reddit for playrust at the time of the change and getting attacked by literally everyone on the “forum”. To be honest, I deleted my threads because of the threats I was receiving from the redditers over me being passionate about the old recoil…
as a rust cheater, this is a great video.
i wanna fking sue that company, i have waste 1k6 hour of my life getting rekt by ESP cheater and other
This video is sick wtf
I still think legal actions are the only solution and i hope it happens. Some are kids yes, but they’re participating in the sale and resale of stolen steam accounts with thousands of dollars worth of skins and games usually. Don’t fold and drop the case because of the “oh he’s a minor, he doesn’t know any better” excuse. Prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law and make an example of them. Should make the others think twice before cheating and buying stolen accounts. You think if a minor went and intentionally bought a stolen car they would drop the case on them? People are to soft and that’s the real issue.
aND EVERY FARMER AND THEIR SHITTER FRIEND SAID THE RECOIL UPDATE WOULD REMOVE CHEATING LOL
If they are cheating now they were cheating then.
I did not start cheating because of the reasons above we’ll only one reason because I was bored of the game the almost repetitive game play made me cheat. And not going to lie,but who gets trough a wipe whit cheats really has to much time on their hands cuz that sh*t is boring af, unless you are trying to do dumb things that are funny. And about that part “make them lonely” that won’t help cuz almost every cheater has a group of cheater that they cheat whit.
But great video :))
Stop crying keep grindin
W video I will say one thing though I do think cheating in school is a little bit different than cheating in a video game because you weren’t bringing anyone down but yourself you’re holding yourself back from improvement while cheating in school but you aren’t affecting the other kids grades or anything like that. Whereas cheating in a video game you are Affecting others. Although cheating in all realms is bad on a long enough timeframe I can only hope that people who do cheat realize that it is going to harm them more than anyone else in the long run.
Ok but rust admins aren’t heroic, they’re basically discord mods.
CHEATING BECAUSE YOURE BORED OF A GAME IS A COPE.
stop playing the game if youre bored. ive been playing rust since 2017 and when ive gotten bored i play another game. you arent bored, youre a dunce.
the best way to stop cheating is to get people to stop being immoral and for people to shun anyone found cheating.
Hate to say but Rust will not recover. Great video btw, but I’m posting 2 months later and things do not look good and it seems to get worse where people are blatant about cheating not even trying to hide it any more. I heard about MW2 creating an A.I. Anti-Cheat software that has improved cheat detection by a large margin but I don’t know if that’s all talk or real and if real hopefully other brands like Facepunch will follow suit and clean things up for everyone just trying to enjoy a legitimate game.
Such an amazing video
i play on EU and most of the cheaters are just the russians and the chinese alone yesterday 20 people were banned on rusty moose and still not all of them were just ruining all the fun and causing the server to die unfortunately facepunch just has to be much harder crack down
i might just quit gaming in total with the rampant cheaters everywhere
I don’t play Rust but I run a large Red Dead Online Crew, where people HAVE TO have a modder to kick and such other modders, and the whoke “cheating becomes acceptable” is the best description I could have of the situation it creates.
We have to CONSTANTLY be checking each other and calling each other out if we think each-other might have it toggled, ban, and police members CONSTANTLY. They have to register with me, personally, and agree to specific rules regarding mod menu usage …
And WE STILL have issues where people will end up cheating and getting punished in-Crew for cheating outside of “Special Circumstances” (ie if an enemy posse is cheating, OUR modder’s job is to distract them while the other people change sessions, or a Modder in RDO can pull the entire Posse into a private session, or Modders may spawn objects for “increasing the narrative experience of the Crew or the server” aka a carriage to offer people rides between towns).
Cheating is the new Hydra, and it’s a nightmare situation for anyone. The only way people will stop cheating is if they are somehow branded in a way that follows them AND ONLY THEM from game to game to game.
nice story telling crazy that the recoil update had a reverse effect on the community . I personally thought people would cheat less since it’s so easy.
I used to spend hundreds of hours in Rust but stopped playing because it was too hard. I don’t know if the people I was playing against were cheating but they were insanely good. Great video, I was invested the entire time and learned something new. I hope the community shuns these people out of the game.
This is actually a great vid
The cheating problem wont stop, i have played rust for as long i can remember and have joined various clans in the past years who had cheated with esp on accounts with thousands of hours on offical servers without reciving a ban even with mass report. the problem is the lack of admins present on servers. because even official servers u need to report in a discord server with proof of video and other means just to get 1 person ban. with that u have wasted most of your day sitting in your base not getting any progression and that will obviously have a mental toll on players. and i would 100% support a system that allows you to join servers based on ranked only. for example lets say u just bought the game, u will only be allowed to join a server like a softcore version until u have accumulated a certain amount of hours till u can join another higher rank server and so on. i think this will greatly slow down the cheating on official servers as u will need a higher hours account to play a server with likeminded players who has the same skill.
Loved the video! but the excuse that the recoil change made more cheaters is only half true, the same people who used recoil scripts back in the day to get a comp. advantage, use now esp+ and other stuff, the game is just sad nowadays, and some cheaters got smarter about hiding it and wont even get banned, the game is legit fcked. And even your fav. streamers used/use recoil scripts and other stuff, but nobody ever suspected nothing caus u think if somebody has 10k hours that he instantly is a perfect robot, that is simply not possible, and if u look close enuff u see the script doing its thing with a simple humanization added in the program so its not allways the same perfect pattern (talking before recoil change).
Any effort going towards circumventing cheating in one of the best games ever made gains you an instant sub in my book. Let’s all try to do better and not encourage this behaviour that objectively destroys the game and the experience for everyone, because facepunch and server admins care more about a bit of extra dough than to maintain integrity. Let’s put them to shame for their cringe and shameless behaviour.
Rust – the game with the most toxic community. I highly doubt any ethics is going to come to that community any time soon.
I mean the gameplay is quite literally designed to increase that toxicity.
No recoil was all you needed before to kill regular players, now you need to up the cheat (esp aim) to have that level of advantage as the basic no recoil guy had before . Cheating is fantastic for the game its why Rust is on the top sellers, servers with fake pop giving the game a top 10 status when in reality the game has 10-15 k players & all those 10-15 k Players rebuy accounts after getting banned . They could have went with the CSGO model of making money off skins but there hard on the account sales for there income, the servers selling VIP on there fake pop servers, the cheats making money etc . Until Facepunch wants to change there income model this setup is perfect for them .
I dont think that cheating is bad I dont cheat but the thing is it is just a game.The thing is they changed the recoil so when i see a cheater or scripter I dont get mad.Rust became trash with the new updates.They should not change the game.
It’s so bad now. UKN is just rife with “legit” cheating. Facepunch needs to step in and make better tools & harsher punishments for associaters.
More people scripted before…. the recoil change…. WAY more vastly more people got used to ez mode wins once the playing field was leveled where a guy with good recoil can > a guy with a script.
Wow so much justification for the fact that if you cheat or make cheats you are a pussy. It’s that simple. You do it cause you aren’t good enough to win.
Good video… I contacted facepunch to complain about cheaters and the official reply was to go play a modded server with active admin… basically “yeah we know but we don’t know how to fix it”. New loot system will be the end of general servers too, no noobs to raid means no ez loot for clans, really not much point in playing now.
I stopped playing rust because of the cheaters. It feels like 15% to 20% of the playerbase is cheating
This guy covers video game cheating like he’s 60 Minutes uncovering an organ smuggling ring. It’d be great if people took serious problems this seriously.
I have 7k hrs in rust since new recoil all is do is cheat. Cheating is extremely fun hearing kids cry over the pixels they’ve lost
Sorry to say but it is likely closer to 1 million dollars a month instead of a year
Facepunch turned their backs on the players so they deserve this epidemic of cheaters.
underrated
awesome video. I have had many friends turn to cheating and it is very sad to see how little is done by facepunch to stop them they make so much money and feel so safe about it they can declare these cheat sales on their taxes! I really hope fp one day cares 🙁
excellent documentary mr
shephard
I think people cheat because the game is boring there making the game to easy like recoil change and making camp fire to be able to make sure food does not burn the new Electric thing be able to let large furnace cook and it be send right to your boxes for people can’t steal loot out your compound nurfing comp bow and more I think the game not a challenge no more so there really no skill anymore
I used to be legit until a month before the new recoil. I noticed the old recoil it was very easy to be banned and on the new recoil well you can go days possibly a week on end silent aiming and raging without being banned. I feel like the rise of cheaters is also due to the anti-cheat not being as good as it used to be with the old recoil.
imo the only thing that made cheating really big is, the cheaper cost, before recoil change when I was playing it was like 100$ for a month of a good stream proof cheat so people who were closeting wouldn’t of gotten caught bc they made roamtages. I came back for like a week and saw the cost of a day key is now 5$ for a decent stream proof cheat. its just mostly the cost went down. Cheating in scene has been acceptable for a while every group I ever played in had a cheater (even in old recoil). It’s been an issue it just got worse.
Decent video, I made around 32k alone from just re-selling last year. The cheating market is way more larger than the person you interviewed suspected, I know developers of rust cheats that make 200k a year at minimum.
smh, good vid though:)
Ez kid get clapped in a 1v1 u garbage quit the game stub ur toe bozo + ratio L
SILLYGAMER featured with no @
Good video man.
straight forward, accurate, reputable sources, good video overall and hopefully this makes it way to a fp dev recommended page
Very well made. I think everyone needs to take away some key points from this video. If the community gets involved aswell as FacePunch where they can, this can be toned down so much. As a server admin myself, I love seeing this out there and think this should be spread around. Good work ❤
as a cheater myself, I do agree with the recoil part. good video Jack Shephard! (also cheating does make a lot of money. made ~5k off it.)
W man
wow I hate cheaters!
Quite simple give the community what they want. A revoil system with a actual skillgap, a system with risk and reward. One where all duels dont feel the same.
you totally missed a segment! zenning and ximming on console is so fucking unbelievably large
So cheating is a big deal in rust, i do not play rust anymore but back when we were the biggest around 2019-2020 there were more cheaters then ever it seem that there are not many cheaters anymore, The thing is Rust / Facepunsh have a few bans 1. Soft ban (Can play the game again your next account wont get banned) then you have (Hard ban, Change HWID (Spoofer) VPN is no such thing they dont ban that) But in a while they all will get bored by this =)
Sad state of afairs only satisfaction is catching the lil scumbags. Great vid btw subbed
Pogger vid, we must get this trending and get face punch to see this
Whoa Jack is alive
I had to deal with two cheaters in my last video, from a creators POV it’s kind of terrifying someone having the power to ruin an entire video because of something they downloaded. I wonder if we’ll see an uprise of whitelisted servers or at least servers that require discord verification with their phone number to at least have some sort of a higher barrier to entry, we’ll see what happens.
2K hours of playing Rust (1.5K of which were in linux until they gave up supporting it). I’ve been through the original classic BP system, into XP and even some in the newer XP system and electricity update, led a 14 man zerg, but never cheated and never wanted too. For me, this new recoil change is trivial, rust has been through hundreds of them. As an embedded software engineer I certainly have the tools to cheat, but why would I? Rust has always been a community game for me, I’m insanely awful at PvP (except for when using the bolty) – but I’ve always been good at scheming, tenacity and ingenuity – the parts of the game I actually play it for, for PvP I can always hop on CSGO. Building wall stacked bases, automated electrical traps, bunker bases, TC stacking, sneaking into other people’s bases, etc.
If anything, rust has gotten far more boring to me overall because people now seem to take the game far more seriously now and are way too competitive. But I already know cheating won’t make that change – I’ve just played the game too long – I have a life and business to run so I rarely ever feel like playing the game anymore and even if I did I don’t have the time to do aim train maps and all that crap.
The spark of rust is still there, after not (seriously) playing since 2019 (when they dropped Linux support) me and a friend hopped on and done a one month wipe together, we built a hell of a compound in the snow, after being offlined and raiding back our original base I changed my name to “IRS Auditor” and cleared out every base on our corner of the map, by the end we were loaded – chests of guns, box of rockets, c4, armored doors, etc. It was one hell of a fun wipe!
great video liked the documentary type style.
Really great quality for a channel this size, A fire video anyways 👍
Option 2 is the most common.
4:28 Steeve Live’s video, definitely credit him.
as a ex-cheater this is funny af like take a day off i feel like your discord needs some dog
2:06 not galonks clip its Zumbie’s where is his credit!!!!
Every wipe I play I run into so many different hard cheaters and many more that are closet cheating with things like soft aim and wall hacks, and I don’t believe there is any hope of completely getting rid of cheaters, that being because I know so many myself that will just toggle on and off whenever
I think another problem with RUST is that, facepunch kind of pushes away the responsibility of dealing with cheaters to the servers they are on.
about time jack good stuff
Bahahaha hearing this dude whine about recoil update is priceless. Every cheater has the same mentality “I suck, I’m board, it’s not fair”
Loved every second of the sniveling excuses.
There’s only one thing that stops cheating and almost no game does it. Rust definitely won’t so if all the cheating bothers you I would just play with friends or leave the game
thank god for camomo . hes doing the lords work
great video
It’s sad to see how much the game has deteriorated from a fun experience to making others miserable for money
here is my take the cheaters now have no option but to continue cheating as they ban evade and eventually get caught so why not just cheat they think, then they infect other players and they end up in the cycle and now the cheaters have just grown in numbers to where u cant join a server without running into at least 1 or 2 and facepunch have essentially made a monopoly as the cheater then has to either buy an account which has bought rust or make a new account and buy rust so why would they fix it ?
Great video
Was really nice to work on this project with you Jack. Hoping there is a possibility more light can be shed on this situation in the near future.
there are some people that cheat, not to make people think they are good, but because it makes people angry which to them is amusing.
As an admin, this is the best and most put together video on rust cheating I’ve ever seen. its sad seeing how many people just gave up because the game became so easy. Facepunch made it so anyone can spray, and it makes the only way to have a insane edge now is by cheating… Sad to see.
great video jack
I cheat, and honestly this video describes everything about me and my reasoning for cheating, I think galonk describes it perfectly. Personally I cheat because its money motivated, just same with banned cheats and other companies like that, it honestly makes some good money if you run it correctly. However for everyone that is clean and wants the problem to stop, dont give them attention, reactions and all that because thats what fuels it, they want to make you mad. Every cheater I know including me admittedly is fueled by other peoples anger in games. So my advice is to report them and keep playing, and if you want to keep playing games legit in the future, dont start cheating because its for sure going to prevent you from doing that.
That’s gripping, Jack. You’re the Karl Jobst of Rust.
we need the old recoil back.
Straight to the point and addressed what most old school players like me been screaming since the update went live.Cheaters problem got beyond control , we now sadly normalized what was considered the ultimate sin 2 years ago. Awesome video,keep up the incredible work and edit !
W vid .DOLF galonk !!!
Very high quality documentary, nice!
swag video
Very well made video

people will do anything for money besides getting a job
W
this is actually a really good quality video for a small channel, keep it up

I HATE CHEATERS
