Deadlock cheating gets worse as players plead with Valve for a fix ValveFollowing in the footsteps of every popular competitive game, Deadlock has already attracted cheaters to its shores and players are hopeful Valve can stay on top of one of its worst offenders. Complaints relating to rage quitting, cheating, and general toxicity from participants in the ongoing Closed Alpha have become more commonplace as more and more players get access. Adding to those woes is the emergence of a video on September 4 appearing to show the use of aimbot software. The 40-second clip shows sniper-wielding Vindicta engaging in several skirmishes with a near-perfect, mechanical aim, snapping to the head of multiple minions with precision. The footage originated from a Reddit user, who stated that they had encountered the Vindicta in question, \u201ceven at a low number of total games.\u201d While there could be more, the only matchmaking rating (MMR) known to be used in Deadlock currently is hero-based. Valve confirmed previously that it was in the process of a \u201cfull rewrite\u201d of the system as the existing version \u201cdoesn\u2019t work very well\u201d. Ideally, cheaters wouldn\u2019t be present at any skill level, with players hopeful the issue will be resolved or at least lessened soon. \u201cSad seeing how many cheaters are showing up but not entirely surprising given Counter-Strike 2 and Team Fortress 2\u2019s issues,\u201d came one reply, adding, \u201cHopefully Valve can put solid work into their anti-cheat.\u201d \u201cValve has big issues with cheaters in their games. Their next priority should be a good anti-cheat in all their games\u201d, said another. Not convinced that Deadlock wouldn\u2019t face the same fate as other competitive titles, another claimed: \u201cThis game will be infested with cheaters like Counter-Strike matchmaking, that\u2019s for sure. So sad, but it will happen.\u201d For now, it\u2019s recommended you report anyone suspected of cheating on Deadlock\u2019s official Discord server, accessible in-game.
