Outriders launches in less than a week and if you were planning to cheat, be warned: you will forever be marked as a dirty cheater and will not be able to play with players who follow rules by combination.

In a pre-release post on Steam, Outriders the developer People Can Fly presented a lot of information about things like pre-loading, post-launch support, changes made to the game since the demo, and more. A section was dedicated to cheaters. And it seems that People Can Fly takes cheaters seriously. What’s interesting about this is that Outriders it is strictly a cooperative and solo online shooting game. There is no PVP or competitive aspect to the game.

According to the developers, only 0.01% of demo players cheated. But, to be clear, the studio sees you all. All of you. He even chose a cheater who gave himself 600 legendary weapons poorly purchased. That’s impressive! (Contact me if you are reading this, I have questions.)

If you decide to cheat, you will not be banned, but you will be punished in other ways. To begin with, cheaters will be kept separate from legitimate players during the formation of matches. People Can Fly warns that this will likely lead to longer waiting times. In addition, a small, discreet, yet easy to find The tag will be added to your HUD. So, if you are a popular streamer, everyone will be able to see that you have been duped.

The developers also exposed what they consider cheating. Here is the list:

  • Run the game intentionally on the PC without Easy Anti Cheat (EAC)
  • Modifying game files to improve a character: levels, skills, inventory, etc.
  • Externally modifying game time to reduce time-dependent resources, such as vendors and challenges
  • Use a training program or similar to gain in-game benefits
  • Using gameplay-altering programs, such as aimbots or wallhacks.

If you cheated during the demonstration, People Can Fly is giving you a chance to repent and wash away your sins. Before starting the full game, which will allow players to bring their demo characters and equipment, you will need to delete all characters and items from your entire account. A thorough cleaning. Do this and your account will not be marked as a cheater.

People Can Fly also clarified that cultivating for plunder is not cheating. So, feel free to go out in search of the Outriders loot cave.equivalent. And to be clear, cheating will not get you banned. So, if you want to play alone or with a friend who also cheats, you can still do that. You will be considered a cheater, but you probably won’t mind anyway!

Outriders is configured for throw on April 1st for (take a deep breath) PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One and PC. It will be available in first day on the Xbox Game Pass.
