I know the people that believe in its use can argue passionately in its defense, so I’d love to hear your opinions on crosshair overlays via external methods. But I don’t think the lack of looming consequences lessens the fact that this is, no matter how miniscule or irrelevant (and it is, to be sure, such a barely-over-the-line cheat), still an attempt to play unfairly. There is not an anti-cheat system on the planet that will catch that. Now obviously, if you stick a piece of tape on your monitor, no one is going to know. However if you can always track your center point, and you’re now able to hip fire with greater accuracy without the scope/ADS, that feels like you are operating at an advantage beyond how other people may be playing. For instance, sometimes only the scope of a weapon provides that much pinpoint accuracy, meaning you’re balancing precision for the smaller field of view of a zoomed-in scope. But most games also have a brightness/contrast or mouse sensitivity slider in their settings, so I’d argue that adjusting those elements to personal preference falls within the game designer’s scope of what they wanted possible in their game (even if upping the contrast to see enemies in shadows is outside the spirit of the intention).īut if a game doesn’t provide you with a persistent “here is exactly where your bullet is aiming” reticle, it would be because the game designers chose not to include one for gameplay reasons. In return, you can unlock access to weapons up to level 80 (a.k. The OP levels let you increase the challenge of the game by fighting enemies up to 8 levels higher than you. I can almost see it from that point of view. Here's my quick and dirty explanation: Gearbox won't let you advance beyond Level 72 (somewhere north of 72 you would have enough skill points to unlock all 3 skill trees). None of these methods are actually altering any game files, which leads people to argue that it isn’t cheating its no different from upping the contrast of your monitor to see in darker games, or using a fancy mouse with better precision to get an edge, they say.Īnd I understand that side of the argument. Or you can even just go super old-school, and stick a bit of tape or blue-tac on your monitor as an aiming device. Now, you can add a crosshair overlay to games with a third party app, or you can get some monitors with it as a built-in setting. On the cheating scale, it’s definitely one of the most benign cheats, (I’d argue it doesn’t even provide much of an advantage), but it still constitutes using an outside method to gain an upper hand over other players. Not only can it output a ton of powerful elemental and splash damage though, but it compounds this with its ability to heal the user relative to the damage inflicted. Personally, I’d put this one in the cheating column.
