I actually joined a match with cheaters. They are dropping stratigems non-stop. Firing unlimited eats. It wasn't fun at all. And when I extracted on the mission they maxed out all of the sample types. It really ruined the gameplay loop. It was not a great time

This shows that not only is the anti cheat dangerous because of its kernel access, it's also useless since cheaters are bypassing anyways...

From my understanding, devs could detect such cheats like cooldownless stratagems or obtaining phantom samples server-side without the need of anti-cheat. It's the FPS mechanics cheats that are hard to catch.

Probably they are relying on their anticheat too much.
