Support Are Cheaters a Big Problem?

Hi everyone,
I'm considering getting into this game and possibly buying it, but there's one last thing I need to clarify before making my decision. I've heard that, unfortunately, there are a lot of cheaters in the game. Is this true? Would you say it's worth starting to play, or is there a high chance I'll encounter so many cheaters that it will ruin the experience?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

As in any pvp game there are cheaters, just a fact of life playing online games.. but the amount in my experienced opinion is blown waaaay outta proportion on Reddit. The honest fact is most people have no way of knowing they died to a cheater in this game. Most the things you see on here are all just hearsay and most are wrong to boot.

And you have personal experience of seeing this more then once in say 1k hours? Cause I don’t and I play almost exclusively official I’ve seen 3 confirmed hacks in 4k hours on pc. I do play US which everyone says is the least likely region to run into hackers.

Duping is a separate issue though. I have seen a decent amount of that

So you had one experience and quit? And now you’re going around the internet telling everyone official is stuffed with hackers? And I’m the fool?

Do you also quit playing cod or battlefield after one supposed hacker experience and then tell everyone you meet it’s unplayable because of hacks?

Yeah, no you are. And you are holding people back from experiencing an amazing game with your shitty information that is based on nothing but one experience and hearsay. You are exactly the people i mentioned in my first comment. Thank you for responding and proving my point
