Cheaters, an inevitable reality in the online gaming world, have already appeared in Deadlock, a game that hasn’t even been officially released yet. Developed by Valve, this hero-shooter has made headlines as some players have begun to disrupt the fun before the official launch.

Deadlock Players Complain About Cheating

A video shared by a Reddit user reveals the extent of cheating in the game. Some players are seen using classic aimbots, which automatically lock onto targets and shoot. Additionally, one player is caught firing from behind walls, while another shoots from around corners, violating the game’s physics rules.

Although encountering cheaters can be very frustrating for players, Deadlock is still in its testing phase, and it is expected that Valve will take swift action to address this issue. While Reddit comments emphasize the importance of reporting cheats when spotted, there are criticisms that the in-game reporting system does not currently offer an option to report cheats.

The success of Deadlock in its testing phase is undeniably significant. Over the past two weekends, the game’s concurrent player count has surpassed 164,000, with an additional 10,000 players joining the following weekend. The game has already garnered significant interest, and it will be intriguing to see how Valve will monetize this popularity in the long run. For now, Deadlock appears to have great potential for a major breakthrough in the hero-shooter genre.
