    I played a game with people who were cheating, it was really unfun, didn’t realize what they were doing until we got to the exit screen and we had +99,999 of each sample type on extract.

        Other than only keeping the samples up to my sample cap, there were no deleterious side effects.

        I fear for my fish. But Liberty requires us to be honest and true. I had a long discussion with my democracy officer. We decided the fruits of treason should not be enjoyed by traitors, so we kept it.

        When Minecraft came out there was no creative move, so my friend and I would use a program to find the RAM for the inventory and freeze the counters at 255 and build massive castles.

        I’m guessing they can do that with their sample count somehow.

          CheatEngine is pretty comprehensively awesome… But only the absolutely the worst kind of people use it a large multiplayer game (not your small Minecraft server obvs. That is smart)

            CheatEngine should hopefully not work on helldivers as the game has a kernel-level anticheat…

              Almost certainly doesn’t… but it makes for a good concrete example of a good tool that can be used by idiots

      Why would the server not validate the data? I guess they felt their invasive anti-cheat meant they should trust every message from the client. Pretty rough.

    Huh. I was wondering why I turned in two samples in the early afternoon and then later that evening it was already completed. I thought maybe I misread the time remaining and the overall progress too.

    Oh well, free 50 medals for me!

    My current playstyle is to start up the game once a month and receive 10000000 free afk medals

      I thought you had to at least be online for part of the order or you didn’t get the medals.
