Cheaters in Operation – What can players do to speed up detection or get gear back?

Hi everyone,

The cheater situation is seriously out of control, and I’m at the point where I’m wondering if there’s anything we, as players, can do to help. For example, is there a way to contribute to faster detection or at least ensure that lost gear gets returned more reliably?

Over the past few days, I’ve lost gear worth around 20 million and had 5 games today where a cheater wiped our entire team with headshots using a default weapon. It’s exhausting to keep running loot routes just to afford one good PvP match, only to deal with cheaters again.

Cheater compensation feels broken. I haven’t had a single piece of gear returned since it launched. And the follow-up section on this anti-cheat page doesn’t seem to work. A player who was banned during one of my matches is still listed as "In-Review."

If anyone knows of a way to improve the reporting process, get better compensation, or avoid cheaters entirely (VPN, different server settings, anything?).

I’d love to hear your advice.

Thanks in advance!
