before you say "people can just record and report the player" this isnt about that this is if you encounter a hack this should help you counter the hacker of course depending on the situation it wont always work as nothing is perfect but it helps heavily
This was inspired by the amount of people complaining about how many hackers there are
Also if your still mad about it think of the amount of hackers as combat training tools for the best type of pvpers
How to combat them
Every hack has a weakness of some sort and all of them are weak to the void so lets look at a few
Antiknockback -weak to melee
This one can be annoying but its actually does more harm then it helps
AKB as it often is called causes you to take no knockback whatsoever, however it has one major weakness and thats melee attacks,
An example would be if your chasing someone down with akb your always within hitting range so you can swing and kill them quite easily and sword swings are much more damaging than bow shots
Bunnyhop and Speed - weak to single lane areas/tight areas
Many are probably familiar with these two as bunnyhop has become popular over the course of the year
Bunnyhop is autojumping combined with speed, gradually speeding up to a limit the farther you go this is practically unhittable if your being strafed
The weakness is tight or single lane areas such as in eggwars a single block lane to mid or in blockwars the tight inner area where the flag is, for single lane bridges, try to aim ahead of the player where it looks like he will be when the arrow gets there this is called "leading" if you dont have a bow you can always try to suicide attack or if its op eggwars eff 8 spleef him
Flight - weak to many issues
This can be hard to combat but can be also very easy
Eggwars is the only game this is truly effective in, but theres still issues
1. In eggwars If you put obby around the egg fast enough, and he flys over it was pretty much for nothing, most fly hackers try to cheese eggs very early on and if theres obsidian they cant do anything or if it's normal mode and he has to break layers flight really dosent do anything helpful other than ignore your bridge defense
2. Enclosed areas is the second weakness an example is in blockwars, they can fly to your flags defenses all they want to but they still have to mine the flag and its very easy for anyone to get anywhere so its not really helpful
3. The server itself seems to be combatting flight, despite no apparent anticheat flying seems to be broken anyway with players dying for no reason while flying/attempting to fly or constant lagback everytime they attempt to fly
Forcefield/Criticals/Standard Reach - weak to ranged attacks
These three can be troublesome indeed
Forcefield creates an imaginary bubble around you that attacks anyone that comes within range of it regardless which way your facing and is often paired with KillAura
Criticals is simply critting people every swing without having to jump
Reach increases your hit distance
All of these are weak to range attacks so try to keep your distance and bow spam (power bow recommended) if possible or hit the player off the map (punch bow, fist, and tools)
KillAura -weak to ranged attacks and multiple attacks
Kill aura can be deadly especially since 1.9 came out some have turned up the hit speed for insane knockback
But just like Forcefield, reach, and crits, its weak to range attacks, but its also weak to multi attacks such as 2v1s or 3v1s, to deal with it this way have someone tank the damage while you attack from behind, in most cases killaura cant hit more than one person at a time especially if one of them is attacking from behind
Tracers- weak to the map
What tracers do is track players and tell you where they are, however some players, hackers or not, arent bright, this is where camping has the advantage, it wont work everytime, but you can camp a certain spot and when they go to attack most of the time they will run right to you and you can shoot them off
And a bonus for future updates
ESP and Xray- Weak to certain blocks (Factions and UHC)
Both of these hacks allow you to see items you wouldnt otherwise be easily be able to see especially if what your looking for is underground
Ive seen this happen on previous seasons of TheCampingRushers (Brayden's) faction series Both of these hacks are weak to droppers and dispensers as for some reason hack clients STILL dont seem to pick up on either of these blocks so if you want to store gear in an unclaimed area, use these blocks, sure they have lower storage capacities but they cant be easily scanned and detected
Hacking - weak to itself
Yes you can fight fire with fire,
No im not promoting you should use hacks to combat hacking,
some say a weapons biggest weakness is its own strongest attack, if there are other hackers in the game try to get them to fight the other hacker this helps even the playing field
Its 2nd weakness is the client, if they dont have a good client the hacks arent very powerful and you can usually blow it off with no issues
Its 3rd weakness can be the operator, they say give two men a gun and the one that dosent know how to use it is more dangerous (essentially "collateral damage") not in this case, it dosent matter how good your hacking client is, if you dont know how to use them, they are virtually useless
TpAura - weak to anti cheats Inaccuracy and infinite respawns
Also known as infinite reach this ones not to popular, you dont really need to worry about this one as it defeats itself
its weaknesses are inaccurancy anticheats and infinite respawns
This hack cannot hit fast moving targets, Because of this its side weakness is inaccuracy
Anticheats can combat this very well and games that have infinite respawns like eggwars and blockwars its useless pretty much
Be careful it may have low accuracy against fast people but it can hit multiple people at the same time
Example: with this hack in micro battles on mineplex you can kill everyone at the same time within 7 seconds
Surprisingly enough even the no good rotten excuse nocheat+ will even pick up on it
Hope this helps! Ill post again when i find more hacks you can exploit a weakness of
