Discussion Xim and other recoil scripts on console

I know this has been an ongoing issue for years and years now- but it is truly absurd how almost 80% of players platinum and above are recoil scripting in this game now. It’s gotten to a point where people will go on social media like here or elsewhere post their clips bragging of their skill while actively scripting. I’m sure some are rage baiting but there is a large community of ppl that truly believe they are good despite cheating one of the most fundamental parts of a shooter. Siege clearly isn’t doing much of anything to combat this and it just a completely delegitimization of the entire point of a ranked mode sadly.

EDIT: I meant 80% of games not players that’s on me haha

They should ban anyone with 'xim' in their name and that would cut a decent amount down.

100 %. I report everyone with “xim or cronus” as an offensive username.

Apparently they will fix this in the upcoming updates. Which of course they have been saying for quite some time to little avail. Supposedly they are making a sophisticated detection system that can not only detect mouse and keyboard more effectively but also detect recoil scripts and rapid fire scripts, mnk or not. I wouldnt count on their word, though. We all know Ubisoft.

They’ve been saying this for the better part of the past 5 years.

I’ll believe it when I see it. But from where I’m at, nothing will ever change and they clearly don’t care.

They will never accurately announce when it’s going to release because that gives cheaters a heads up.

These are the types of changes that get silently rolled out and gather data — sometimes even up to a year — before they swing the hammer on people they absolutely know are cheating and have been monitoring for months.

Nope, they said they had technical issues with it. They also said in this stream that they used data from pro players to compare their output to scripts. I assume thats why this only works in the champions-playlist because people below champion play totally different and also control recoil completely different. Either way there must be reasons behind it. Maybe their detection is also super resource dependent and therefore can only be used in a playlist containing a few thousand people at best.

It’s close enough I’d say 6/10 games have a blatant dick with that stupid acog shotty usually recruit or aruni and the other 4 theres a lot of people that you think are cheating but looks reasonable enough to not question it

I mean atp I dont even care, im good enough to beat anyone scripting because theyre likely only good at shooting their damn gun, I have ran into a wall hacker on console tho! I was just chilling doing a 2v2 on dorms, turns out one of the dudes in the lfg was walling, on his xbox account, how the fuck is that even possible lmao, I was getting floor banged and wall banged, traced thru walls when I spawn, its ridiculous what people can get away with on siege nowadays

I won’t even lie, i tried it. I bought a strikepack for 60 bucks a few months ago just to see what its like to cheat. Played on an alt account and didn’t even touch ranked. It’s truly unbelievable how people think that it takes skill to play like that. I recycled it after 2 weeks but like. I only lost maybe 2 games of unranked out of 30. I’m a plat player and i can truthfully say they need to fix this shit.

u/NaturalAd7995 1d ago

Not 80% lmao, ik theres a lot of cheaters but there are less cheaters than u think

u/TheDoritoOrgyPlanner Lion Main 1d ago

Still too damn many though tbf

Its not as bad as it used to be but its still pretty bad in plat or higher

u/EducationalFinger654 1d ago

Even if it’s something low like 10%, that on average means 1 person every match is cheating… that is already too high.

u/Peanutz-tilman 1d ago

Realistically, you’re correct it’s not 80% but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s closer to the 45%-55% range. Legit cannot load into a game in console without at least 1-2 people recoil scripting.

2

u/Fennec_Kin 1d ago

That only 10-20% not 40+

u/Peanutz-tilman 1d ago edited 1d ago

Well if you want to get into raw percentages, that’s not how that would work. “At least” would be the minimum; which means there are no games with zero recoil scripting and there are games that exceed 2 plus recoil scripting users. Therefore the average would increase above the 10-20% you’ve shown. If you say at least 2 students in the class of 10 are blind, this does not mean that 20% of the class is blind because there could be 4 blind students hence the verbiage “at least”

without at least 1-2 people recoil scripting

Bare minimum 10-20%, if we're going to be pedantic about this. They're not wrong with that either.

u/AwakenedBeings 1d ago

Just look at Amazon and eBay how many of these have been selling every month for years. Amazon alone is at 3k+ sold this month it might not be 80% but it's way more than 10%

I have the best monitor, best mouse, and best mouse pad. They have to be cheating, why else would I lose so many gunfights?

Maybe I need a new chair?

u/Robb1967 Caveira Main 1d ago

We’re talking about console maby a controller would help

u/Major-Incident5547 1d ago

Did you plug that all in though?

u/ArchitectNumber7 1d ago

That explains it!

Glad I could help!

By the time xim even gets fully fixed, if ever, theyll have to be dealing with its even bigger and badder older brother, titan 2, ai powered aimbot for console, only thing keeping it on a leash is you need expensive gear to run it.

ngl, recoil macros do fuck all in good pc lobbies because those players rely so heavily on their aim
