Best way to report cheaters

Recommended Posts

What is the preferred way to report possible cheaters on the official servers?

I've seen people report them on the bug tracker, but that sounds kind of wrong and it's only creating noise in the bug tracker. Is there a dedicated place for that?

What information is required to report them? Is the server name, your username and timstamp enough? Can the administrators on the official servers look at the log and see when people got killed? I understand that it's limited information, but sometimes it could be useful. The reason I'm writing this is because of a very suspicious death of 3 players. 2 of us got killed in the middle of the woods from 1 shot. A friend who was almost a good distance behind us (think 500+ meters, out of sight) got killed right after us. Surely by looking at the log and if it's the same person that killed that many people within seconds (literally 3 seconds, 1 second for each of us) would be suspicious? Especially if there were more deaths in that time-period.

nope no dedicated place to report cheaters/hackers. we just have to rely on battleeye to get them but they are about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.
