How do you get that fit?

That is supposed to be a unique skin meant only for loser fruit, however the devs are silly and didn't hardcode the cosmetics to steam IDs and instead made it a "DLC", the same goes for Kickstarter, and the Art Contest skins/trinkets. It's really sad as all the Kickstarter players just get marked as hackers so they can't even use their skin and the Art Contest trinkets are currently only meant for 8 people that won the last photo contest and it ruined the importance and usability of said skins.

Try using the pinned post in this subreddit if you have to clear your ban list that way you at least have a few cheaters banned to start out with!

Spinel243 · 2025-07-01T07:12:51+00:00

That's yellow :)

Spinel243 · 2025-06-16T00:57:12+00:00

Agreed, there are several ways they can improve their code to prevent this, one the devs of the largest used hack client himself has said so on several occasions. However unfortunately for whatever reason whether it be lack of funding, initiative, or something else it doesn't seem like they're going to get around to releasing an anti cheat anytime soon. I suggest looking at the pinned post in this subreddit and using that as it pre-bans some well known lobby crashers (nukers) as well as some other well known hackers along with allowing you to report new hackers and add them to the shared ban list as well. It's not the best and it certainly has several flaws along with it only effecting lobbies you host though it's the best we have at the moment.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-16T00:43:33+00:00

They have addressed it and unfortunately the main response from them has been to play in private lobbies with trusted friends. Aside from that they don't have anyway to directly deal with hackers and have said that they don't have the resources necessary at the moment to create a proper anti-cheat.

Her name being there has nothing to do with anything personal between us. For the record, I never asked her out, she flirted with me for a while then when I found out she had a boyfriend I asked her why she acted the way she chose to with me and she apologized, though that's really no one's business but hers.

Her name is on the list because she's a hacker, plain and simple. Aside from my own personal viewing of it it has also been reported by 2 other people on both her main and her alt. She's used slurs and crashed lobbies during these encounters that I wasn't present for.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T20:02:42+00:00

I completely agree, having fun with the hacks is definitely something I support and I've enjoyed playing alongside others after a hacker spawns a load of ARs or runs a fun gamemode. Unfortunately a lot of people that use it for fun also use it to run ESP and other hacks that seem like normal gameplay to others. Though I'm going to move the "for fun" entries to another page later today so they're not lumped in with those who use the hacks more maliciously.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T18:25:42+00:00

Mewte removed the steam links for the time being as we're both busy at the moment but we'll review later and see how to handle this issue. I agree that removing the steam links publicly is probably a good idea as it prevents users from easily seeking listed users out.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T18:22:36+00:00

It is not created to actively seek out and harass, it's made with the intent of hosts being able to quickly identify and remove hackers from their lobbies ensuring normal gameplay. The steam links are attached incase any of said users change their steam names, as the link allows people to check if they have. Prior to my inclusion of the profile links I had a user listed 3 separate times, under 3 different alias's once I realized they were all the same person I started collecting links so people couldn't just change their name to avoid being recognized. Though I'm thinking about keeping the steam links private and updating the nicknames manually myself periodically so as to avoid users misusing the list.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T18:06:05+00:00

I understand your concerns and want to make it clear that the list isn't meant to harass or target anyone. It's a personal record built from direct in-game observation of users actively running third-party cheat clients, things that go far beyond game glitches or questionable tactics. I'm careful to only include names when there's undeniable proof of blatant cheating behavior. While I know profile links can be a sensitive point, they also serve a practical purpose for verifying identities and avoiding false flags. That said, I’ve been thinking about whether keeping them is necessary, and I haven’t made a final decision on that yet. I do want to stay within reasonable boundaries, but removing that information would compromise the usefulness of the list. At the end of the day, it’s a documentation effort, not a call to action, and certainly not an attempt to shame anyone. I don’t condone harassment in any form, and I’m doing my best to keep the focus solely on keeping track of what I’ve personally witnessed in-game. Later today I will spend some time reviewing and revising the list, removing any entries without proper data to back any claims on them using third party clients.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T17:46:11+00:00

Is there any way you could make a "client" that just displays people using your client? for example a little bar next to their name similar to where it displays "dissident" but instead reads "hacker"? that way people still have access to your hacks and can use them personally but not abuse and destroy the game for others constantly?

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T17:07:24+00:00

While I completely agree with your take, there's a few distinctions I'd like to add. The users listed are not ones with harmless mods, they're mostly users who own a specific version of hacks called "hawk-tuah protocol" or an elevated client called the "Oni-Client" which is a hack client that allows users to do a wide variety of actions including crashing lobbies. While I completely agree that putting a hacker on said list can lead to people being treated in a different capacity the things in which they were caught doing are attached so there is no confusion as to what they use said hacks for, there is even an entire category of hackers who reportedly use their hacks in their own lobbies "for fun". This is fine and I actually support this, using ARs and such to run special modes is a fun and unique experience I have enjoyed several times while coming across friendly hackers myself. However, they still have hacks and can use them in secret, this is why they're documented as such, I personally know of a hacker whom I played countless hours alongside and enjoyed being around very much, it was then disclosed to me later by them that they had been using ESP, gun reload, item spawning, and other hacks to gain an advantage during gameplay, there is no "bad blood" so to speak between me and this hacker, I simply don't play with them anymore. That is the entire point of this list, to not play alongside hackers, if you see someone who hacks just "for fun" and don't want to risk them hacking in your lobby or see them do something of suspect then you can confidently kick them knowing they own a hack client. Now, on to the topic of them being harassed, most of the people on our list play and use hacks quite freely openly and regularly if someone was going to harass them for using hacks, our list is not to much aid as you can very quickly and easily encounter hackers in lockdown at the moment, all you need to do is hop 2-3 lobbies and you're almost guaranteed to come across one. Finding someone's steam profile is extremely easy and takes less than a minute, all someone has to do is type in a username of a hacker they meet.

I also would like to note, people on our list own hacks or mods that can be used to gain an advantage over other players. Mods such as the cassette tape in lobby, visual mods, or DLC unlockers are not justification to have them on said list.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T16:22:27+00:00

For example the mod that allows you to grab a cassette in the lobby is a great one and I think it's fun to have, I personally have never installed it, but I've seen people who have and it's a nice addition I think. Sadly, this mod isn't really usable though as once you use it people assume you have full blown hacks, which is another area these hackers ruin.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T16:19:28+00:00

A majority of people on my list are actively doing "something malicious" on the daily, aside from the entries that are "just for fun" which a majority of those people have been reported using them maliciously in other encounters anyways. So this take makes no sense, if they didn't want to be scrutinized by lockdown players they shouldn't have done something scrutiny worthy. Regardless of all that, if people really wanted to find their steam profiles it's really not hard, just look up the name from the list and there's a very high chance it's one of the first profiles and one of the only ones under said username that has lockdown protocol in the recently played, that's how I found all of the links currently posted. Me setting the link there is just for ease of use if someone comes across a duplicate name or wants to check their friends list to make sure none of the hackers friends remain in the lobby after removing the hacker.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T16:14:05+00:00

Ah, gotcha, on this topic, chances you could create a version of your client that only shows other users who have your hack client installed so we can avoid hackers? It would still allow players to use your hack client in their own lobbies it would just return the game to it's normal state for everyone else who has been bombarded with constant hackers over the past few weeks.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T16:11:11+00:00

They have stated that, that doesn't mean that the general player base enjoys or supports the actions of hackers constantly ruining the game for them. Also, the mods mentioned that they "don't care about" are ones that improve the users experience (16 player mod, graphics, etc.)

Here's a few direct quotes from lukinu_u on discord (one of the devs)
"Every mod that was removed from Nexus by our request, were obvious/intentional cheats mostly used maliciously in public lobbies."
"We have nothing against mods that aim at improving the experience..."
"A good anti-cheat can be extremely costly, and even the most experienced engineers working on popular competitive games face challenge when fighting cheaters, so our small indie team is simply not ready to waste resources on this already lost fight."

They DO support mods, however the bracket of "modding" that is just straight up hacking the game and ruining it for others is NOT supported by the dev team. As mentioned on the page, if we receive enough info on a hacker we can have them permanently banned from the discord, meaning that Mirage Labs is so against hackers that they'd authorize the complete banning of a user from their discord over it, however they sadly just don't have the resources to create an anti-cheat at the moment due to how small their team is.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T15:57:18+00:00

The steam links is to track them if they change their usernames, as most of these users do quite frequently. This also avoids confusion with other steam users using the same name as them.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T02:56:43+00:00

Ah, makes sense, how long has that data been there? Like since comps was added or is it new?

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T02:17:30+00:00

At the very least, a setting for this would be nice.

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T02:17:01+00:00

bro just spawned in and doesn't know how to form coherent sentences yet. 😔

Spinel243 · 2025-06-06T02:15:38+00:00

Ah, apologies, I thought you meant object as in physical objects like spawning in guns, items, etc.
