The Finals player \u201cdoing the lord\u2019s work\u201d for wasting cheating teammate\u2019s time PlayStationThe Finals is off to an explosive start, but it\u2019s been marred by cheaters galore. One player took combatting cheaters into their own hands. Since its shadow drop during the 2023 Game Awards, The Finals has taken the FPS scene by storm. The free-to-play game show-inspired FPS hit an insane player count on launch and hasn\u2019t lost any steam since. Despite the random usage of AI, there\u2019s plenty to love with The Finals, as forums and social media have been ablaze with immense praise for the game\u2019s blending of high-octane action and teamwork. However, like many titles nowadays, The Finals is full of cheaters. One player took matters into their own hands, denying their cheater teammates the win they sought to gain. The Finals player wastes cheaters\u2019 time and denies the win The cheating epidemic isn\u2019t new in games, but it\u2019s hit an obnoxious stride in The Finals. Aside from player feedback and funny clips, much of the game\u2019s subreddit is posts regarding the cheating crisis. Reporting can only do so much when you\u2019re in a match with cheaters, so one player decided to bring the hammer down. In a video shared to the game\u2019s subreddit, one player showed 10 minutes of pure justice, denying their cheating teammates the win. \u201cGot 2 cheaters in ranked as teammates. Went to the final round trying to kill them (not much can be done to heavys). At the final round, of 17 mins, grabbed the cash box and waited\u2026.the whole time. They tried to kill me, wasted their time, and lost marvelously,\u201d the player commented. The Finals uses Easy Anti-Cheat, but it\u2019s looking pretty easy to cheat in the game, no pun intended. This player\u2019s efforts were met with applause, as one player responded: \u201cDoing the Lord\u2019s work I see.\u201d However, many of the other comments reflected on the cheaters themselves. For those unaware, The Finals doesn\u2019t support region locking, which is a company decision, since the developers believe cheaters reside in all regions. Some comments jested at that point, stating region locking would help combat the cheating epidemic. That said, the developers have said that they are re-upping the anti-cheat measures. Stay tuned as more information comes to light, hopefully including a massive tide of bans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
