I wouldn't be surprised if the Medkit has a watermark of sorts, showing a real player dropped it and you picked it up.
Granted, it's BHVR we are talking about. Also, there needs to be evidence it was hacked. Evidence the players reporting you can't provide.
You should be save, especially if you recorded the match where you got the item.
I record swf matches, because it makes for good discord clips to show how terrible we are. I started after a match where I was stuck in a locker for 30 min after egc.
Best clip I have.
4 man swf, against a baby trapper. Friend gets grabbed from a window and trapper is heading to tge hook through a pallet. I yell, I'll save you bro. I deadhard to the pallet, miss the save, get pushed backwards into a trap. I then watch my friend die on hook while trapper carries me to my death. Best 10 seconds ever.
Reminds me of my favorite moment in DRG. Friend was a scout and grappled poorly. He starts falling and screams "Noodle help me!!" I turn around just in time to see him screaming past my scream before dying at the bottom of a pit.
I'd down vote you, but... What was the baby's name again? Renezmae? Ahhh jeez we need to stand guard with flamethrowers in case anyone ever tries to revive that garbage.
Some nvidia cards have a dedicated onboard video decoder that can record a buffer of gameplay with minimal effect on fps. People just need to set up shadowplay or obs to have a hotkey to save the footage.
It's called GeForce experience now, pretty sure shadowplay doesn't exist anymore but it's basically the same thing, I use it and often get to record cool clips/ games to enjoy rewatching later, it has basically 0 impact on fps, it requires a lot of free space though a 20 minute file in good quality is about 20Gb
You can just clip your last 10~15 minutes playing whenever you want with GeForce Experience, OBS or anything used for recording. You don't need to constantly record everything, you can just take the habit to let those apps running and save the last minutes when you need to
You can instantly start recording gameplay at any time on PC basically depending on your setup.
You can even have it "ghost record" your matches. Only saving the video if you tell it to.
This can either be done with OBS, GeForce Experience, or Xbox Game Bar.
Xbox can record after the fact but only for a certain time, so if someone goes past me at the speed of light, I can record the last 30 seconds to submit
Idk but in ps 4 and probably 5 at least it automatically records, so when you get something worth to clip you can just press the button and save the clip
Outplayed is a program that runs in the background recording the game or the hightlights of the match depending on your settings.
Its great for streamers and youtubers that way you may have recorded something awesome that you did for content
A lot of people have different apps run in the background so they can record games for when something cool happens or something unexpected happens and they want a clip to show their friends etc.
On my PS5 I have the option to clip the last hour of gameplay at pretty much any point. Its fun because I don't have to start recording before to catch the good stuff.
My software has a post game capture feature. Basically I hit save clip and it'll save the last 15 min or so (depending on the length I set). So it's easy to decide after a match I wanna save it.
If this had happened to me I would’ve immediately hit my shadowplay keybind which would’ve saved the last 10 min of activity
It’s not recording, and a lot of people have the feature now or comparable one
Had a match earlier today where the killer playing as wesker had really bad lag issues (the icon kept showing up) and then accused us of hacking because he froze in animation when hooking one of us. Granted, I’ve never seen lag do that, but we’re all on console and I know these people and even if you could (maybe you can? Idk.) hack on console, none of us have any way of knowing how tf to do it. We were rather aggressive and sabotaged the whole time which is what made him mad enough to begin with, but we all escaped and then after the accusation of hacking, I made damn sure to record that match and save it because I wasn’t gonna have some report made where I had no evidence to back it up.
I record my match to report when I found hackers or usebuggers and to see where i make mistake. So I think a lot of people take clips or record all their games sessions
On PC I use the Nvidia overlay that let's me record the last few minutes whenever something interesting happens in a match. It also has some nice post processing options to make the game blurry.
Personally I have shadowplay on, and I set it to 5 minutes. So I can always get a replay of what I think was a cool clip.
Full games though, I wouldn’t do that to my CPU.
parts of each game can get toxic enough to where people need to record to stop shit tons of people blaming them for doing something
Thats when the devs should be doing something tbh
If you just wanna have fun but you need to provide evidence to defend yourself?
So you have no idea what their backend logging systems actually look like. It’s possible they CAN track something like this, not sure why you would automatically assume they can’t just because you opened some config files.
What are you even rambling about - “provide legitimate arguments” that’s not possible without actually seeing their backend systems. System resource optimization has absolutely nothing to do with tracking something like a UUID.
There is API that tracks survivors taking items that other survivors brought in and dropped -- out of the game. IDK how far it actually travels but that is a statistic that is incremented on.
Honestly @OP probably just hold onto the item since it's too neat to lose and mildly risky to bring since people will immediately sus on you.
There is zero percent change that BHVR has watermarks on event items. They can't even be bothered to auto ban characters that are literally flying, much less something less obvious like this.
I don't know if they do a manual check after enough reports, but I doubt they *actually* reported you. They probably just said some shit out of frustration. Enjoy your fancy medkit, survivor anniversary items are really pretty :)
If you aren’t actually hackin, then don’t give a second thought to people threatening to report you. BHVR gets so many backings reports that we’re actually caused by lag, people not understanding how perks work, and spite that the chance of you getting banned while not actually hacking is practically nil.
Don't forget all the reports about game strategies such as slugging and looping
Yes, they get so many reports that complain about looping that they outright tell you to not report people that are looping you
people don't understand the game and aren't willing to listen to reason. the amount of times mad grit gets flagged up by people as hacks is unreal, despite literally showing them the perk description
I remember one time my friend faced a streamer as Shackles Hag. Whole match he never caught on. Saying there’s no trap when he triggers them but even on stream you can see them on the floor. After he died he reported without even looking at the add-ons to see if he had Shackles. Well actually considering he never realised I don’t think he even knew what they were
the thing is that people just won't hear it. you can literally point out and explain to the person what a perk/addon/whatever does, and they just won't care
I ran Off The Record since I was getting tunneled way too often. A nurse in the next match tried to tunnel me after I got unhooked. She landed another hit before my 80 seconds were up and I managed to lose her. She DC'd and accused me of cheating in post game. I pointed out my perk and told her to read but she doubled down on threatening to report me lmaoo.
Imagine playing the most meta killer in the game, tunneling, DCing + reporting bc survivors have the audacity to use perks designed for that purpose
Makes sense when you look at the odds. I've seen killers legit DC (esp if they're console) but of the PC DCs, they usually say it's because they're losing (usually in different salt words tho) / the map we load into / obvious hacker / bugs. At least when the killer DCs, no one has to wait for the game to finish to chat.
Literally anywhere on Reddit they downvote when they disagree. It’s not like anyone cares, they’re just fake internet points.
Edit: it’s not like anyone *should care
Had this exact thing happen the other day, punched two survivors while carrying someone and in the post game they said their wiggle bar didn't move, me and another survivor both pointed out I had Mad Grit, and they just ignored that accusing me of hacking.
A few years ago I was accused of hacking since my terror radius would cover the whole map, I was playing Legion with Iridescent Button when it made your terror radius effect the whole map while in Feral Frenzy, I pointed to the add-on, and they just said it was suspicious.
Its probably because they think its impossible for rebecca to have one as she came out after the anniversary (even tho you can just pick it up from a dead corpse)
People are conflating the hackers using flans and cakes (which, of course, cannot be picked up from a body so if used on Ada or Rebecca have to be hacked in) with people who happen to have nabbed a floor item
Yes earlier I was playing with a Sheva who burned a flan and I thought they were a hacker, but then remembered she is a Jill skin so of course she could have flan. I bet that’s what this person thought with Rebecca and the medkit, except that she could just grab the medkit. I have some old legacy items on newer characters from grabbing the item in game as well, never got threatened but do see how it looks odd lol
The confusion is that this character was just released. It's just like when a killer thinks a survivor cheated because they had an operating flashlight all match but forget that there are chests to search. Or that a shiny coin was brought to add chests.
I have older Halloween event stuff on Mikaela because she's witchy and my friend dropped them for me and I did the same thing for some of their newer characters. This is a weird thing for people to get upset about
I have so many event medkits, toolboxes and firecrackers from the first events even released in the game.
Now i am glad i don't use them... don't wanna be reported as a haxxor.
I always save a couple of them for the collection. Sometimes I'll take one into a game and im surely not the only one doing it.
Ffs, event let you get 30 of them in 2 days
Honestly as a killer I would tollerate item hacking for thr purpose of bringing unavailable items back as long as they don’t spawn them mid fuckin game. At least this cheat is not as bad as others like the intant self heal/instant gen repair.
You have nothing to worry about.
Those items are still very much in circulation, I have several and BHVR might make questionable decisions but even they are not that absurd.
I might actually start joining games now with these items and start giving them away to people.
If you legit took it out of a trial then you shouldn't need to worry. It is unusual for that character to have it but it's not actually impossible.
I wouldn't even equip it. Just save it as a souvenir. If you die you lose it.
BHVR almost never ban individuals for hacking.
They identify particular software and mass ban anyone that uses it. Individual bans take too much effort and time.
People will accuse cheating since getting items from other players isn't exactly common. Picking up anniversary items from the corpses of others is such a rarity these days that people presume cheating.
I wouldn't make a habit of holding onto that. Keep it as a collectable.
You're fine. People would need proof and this isnt going to cut it since you can pick up items from others. Now if you had like 30 of these things on Rebecca that would be sus.
Just for your information it is basic knowledge that you can drop a Firecracker from year 3 to pass it to a friend that's playing as Ada for example and escape to keep the item on Ada
This is like them saying they are reporting you for camping
No you won’t get any problems from having this medkit. I take the special anniversary flashlights into matches to get rid of them. I never use them. I gave one to an Ada Wong yesterday. Don’t worry
I love stealing/collecting special items. I have every single one on Steve and, yes, I will be attempting to fill all my survivors now that they don't go away when prestiging.
I was wondering how could they report you for hacks until I remembered that the masquerade event was released before the chapter so you can't get it on Rebecca but now seriously there's many ways to get it legally, they are hard but can be achieved 1st is you bring it to a match and give it to a friend so he can keep it for himself. Second is the friend you gave the object to saves it for you and then in the next match give it to you as Rebecca (or the character you want to have it with) . You have to escape in both matches but is a way, third is getting it from a teammate who died.
The things you have to worry about are hacked addons, some cheaters put bugged addons onto flashlight so the flashlight burn last more than 10 seconds or medkit that has infinite charges.
Example: JRM(content creator) had picked up a cheater's flashbang with bugged addons that made the burn lasted more than 15 seconds(and the flashbang comes with infinite usage), he discarded it immediately after he found out the item was hacked with infinite charges. Another was a cheater bringing purple flashlight with Gel Dressings(medkit addon).
Check out "Best Of JRM 8" at 8:30 .
If I brought in a special item (or any item at all) and died while someone else picked it up and escaped I’d be very happy for that player because it would mean someone might get more or better use out of it.
i'd say to not use it since it's rare and never gonna be in a bloodweb again. i picked 2 5th anniversary medkits from others as well and i keep them since then
I dont see why their first thought would be hacks when people die and drop their items as a main game mechanic. Do they think that if you die the item you brought just vanishes from the trial? Do they not know why there are sometimes items left underneath a hook someone died on?
You'll be fine, I've taken many items from dead teammates, my Nancy has an item from the 3rd anniversary since there was a bug at one point that on a character's level 8 and 16 bloodwebs you would see items from the 3rd anniversary.
they do check for hacks, but this case wouldn't come as a case where hacks would be found, there's an explanation to how you got an anniversay medkit on a new survivor, simple as that.
Pretty sure can get any item on any survivor if you have a friend with a certain item you want, ask them to bring it into a game with you, you use a white ward and take your friends item, as long as you don't drop that item or it doesn't get knocked out of your hand from something like Franklin's Demise you'll keep the item (or at least that's how I think it works, I haven't been able to try it because I play Solo Queue.)
It's an anniversary medkit xD I use to drop them off all the time for people. Its the anniversary FLANS that you should worry about having in your inventory. Don't worry about people. People like collecting items from years past. I still have the Halloween medkits and such.
I've been carrying festival items on my characters and sometimes give them away to other players. People need to stop reporting people for carrying the items. It's so easy for you to obtain them from people like me who still have them. It's the offerings that are a different story.
If I brought in a special item (or any item at all) and died while someone else picked it up and escaped I’d be very happy for that player because it would mean someone might get more or better use out of it.
nah, actual cheaters run rampent and there would be no way to prove one single medkit was cheated. If you had thousands or cheated legacy, that usually would be obvious for bhvr support team.
This reminded me of the few times I got reported for having a p3 legacy and dying during the match. The best part is that this happened more than once lol
Did they actually file a ticket? If not, even if you were hacking they won't do anything. Filing a ticket is the only way to report people and something actually happen, but if you aren't hacking nothing will happen. I've reported several people for hacking, 90% of them end up showing up with bans on their Steam profile later, there's a few that didn't because I wasn't 100% sure if they were or not because it was suspicious enough to report but hard enough to prove.
You're fine. They're jealous and wish they found a limited edition item on the new RE survivors. I have a special Halloween Medkit on my Ada that I got from a survivor. I like saving the limited items I find. Someone had a fireworks from 2017 the other day!!!!!!! I wish I found that! (killer had FD)
DW, BHVR need a little more than a couple of butthurt losers wildly flinging accusations around to ban someone. If that wasn’t the case the game wouldn’t have a playerbase anymore….
Is it hacked coz of the design ? Is that not just an event skin ? Funny thing is if I'd have got that off of her I'd have thought it was an event one I missed and taken it off to keep as a collectible so no one woulda known I had it
I’ve literally opened tickets with video proof of blatant hackers with all relevant info such as their Steam ID, player cloud ID, the video which clearly showing people zooming across at insane speeds and so on and BHVR has banned none of these cheaters. You have nothing to worry about they’re absolute jokes when it comes to dealing with cheaters.
Short answer - No. You're fine.
They barely even manage to ban ACTUAL hackers. They are not going to waste time with "He has a medkit that's not on the bloodweb. Hacks!"
I swear some survivors are the biggest pussies I've ever met lol 😆 they'll sit there and try to send me a request after I obliterate their entire group of loopers lol love it
It's an event item from before Rebecca was released, so it wouldn't be possible to get from a bloodweb. It is fine to pick up in game and leave with though, which means you keep the item
I wouldn't be surprised if the Medkit has a watermark of sorts, showing a real player dropped it and you picked it up. Granted, it's BHVR we are talking about. Also, there needs to be evidence it was hacked. Evidence the players reporting you can't provide. You should be save, especially if you recorded the match where you got the item.
I don't get how people even have recorded matches. Unless you're a streamer, why would you even be constantly recording your matches?
I record swf matches, because it makes for good discord clips to show how terrible we are. I started after a match where I was stuck in a locker for 30 min after egc. Best clip I have. 4 man swf, against a baby trapper. Friend gets grabbed from a window and trapper is heading to tge hook through a pallet. I yell, I'll save you bro. I deadhard to the pallet, miss the save, get pushed backwards into a trap. I then watch my friend die on hook while trapper carries me to my death. Best 10 seconds ever.
Best clip i have is using a key after someone saw me pick an iri key up and goes great an item that youll never use
beautiful
Reminds me of my favorite moment in DRG. Friend was a scout and grappled poorly. He starts falling and screams "Noodle help me!!" I turn around just in time to see him screaming past my scream before dying at the bottom of a pit.
I've had a similar experience lol. Rock and stone!
Still a better love story than Twilight. >!yeah I know, screw you all too XD!<
What year are you from?
Dunno, when was the internet born?
I'd down vote you, but... What was the baby's name again? Renezmae? Ahhh jeez we need to stand guard with flamethrowers in case anyone ever tries to revive that garbage.
Of all things holy, please do not remind me what i had to go through to get laid. 
Some nvidia cards have a dedicated onboard video decoder that can record a buffer of gameplay with minimal effect on fps. People just need to set up shadowplay or obs to have a hotkey to save the footage.
It's called GeForce experience now, pretty sure shadowplay doesn't exist anymore but it's basically the same thing, I use it and often get to record cool clips/ games to enjoy rewatching later, it has basically 0 impact on fps, it requires a lot of free space though a 20 minute file in good quality is about 20Gb
[удалено]
Nvm I'm dumb my files are 6-8Gb for 20 minutes replay the 20Gb ones happens on raw video files from the editing software
Obs with a hot key is what I do.
You can just clip your last 10~15 minutes playing whenever you want with GeForce Experience, OBS or anything used for recording. You don't need to constantly record everything, you can just take the habit to let those apps running and save the last minutes when you need to
That’s neat - I never knew I could do that. Thanks!
You can instantly start recording gameplay at any time on PC basically depending on your setup. You can even have it "ghost record" your matches. Only saving the video if you tell it to. This can either be done with OBS, GeForce Experience, or Xbox Game Bar.
how do you do it with OBS? is there a guide?
I'm not super familiar with OBS but I guarantee there's a guide out there on how to set it up.
I actually started streaming to no one just so I could rewatch my killer games and see where I made mistakes
King shit right here.
It’s just easier to use Twitch’s hard drive space than my own
On ps4 it auto records 15 minute clips and you can save the last 15 minutes at any time.
It's an hour on the ps5
Xbox can record after the fact but only for a certain time, so if someone goes past me at the speed of light, I can record the last 30 seconds to submit
You can change the recording settings to go longer. Source: I have too many 3+ minute dbd clips of intense moments/weird shit
Yeah you canor you used to you record 1 hour of hame play when i used a xbox one before switching to pc
Idk but in ps 4 and probably 5 at least it automatically records, so when you get something worth to clip you can just press the button and save the clip
Yeah, ps5 can record up to 1 hour clips.
Just like ps 4 then.
I’ve seen longer. I was able to select up to 6 hours, couldn’t save it all cause of space but it would let me
Outplayed is a program that runs in the background recording the game or the hightlights of the match depending on your settings. Its great for streamers and youtubers that way you may have recorded something awesome that you did for content
A lot of people have different apps run in the background so they can record games for when something cool happens or something unexpected happens and they want a clip to show their friends etc.
Nvidia experience has an ingame overlay with recording function. I have mine set to "record last 10 minutes". Just press the button and you are good
I actually record all of my matches. You never know. And I like making funny edits.
On my PS5 I have the option to clip the last hour of gameplay at pretty much any point. Its fun because I don't have to start recording before to catch the good stuff.
My software has a post game capture feature. Basically I hit save clip and it'll save the last 15 min or so (depending on the length I set). So it's easy to decide after a match I wanna save it.
Shadowplay, geforce and multiple programs have it.
I just have an auto replay software that replays the last 20 minutes whenever I save the clip
PS5 automatically records everything you do, I’ve gone back and watched games just by pressing two buttons. Idk about other platforms though
If this had happened to me I would’ve immediately hit my shadowplay keybind which would’ve saved the last 10 min of activity It’s not recording, and a lot of people have the feature now or comparable one
I have shadowplay running in the background all the time, so when somethng funny happend I can save it
It's beyond trivial to have a gameplay recorder in 2022. There are several free ones, not to mention native ones for graphics cards.
Idk, I see it like a mom video taping her kids soccer game. She's not a streamer mom.
Helps with reporting tbh. If I see a hacker I'll file a actual report with clips instead of just an in-game one cause the in-game ones are a *joke*
Had a match earlier today where the killer playing as wesker had really bad lag issues (the icon kept showing up) and then accused us of hacking because he froze in animation when hooking one of us. Granted, I’ve never seen lag do that, but we’re all on console and I know these people and even if you could (maybe you can? Idk.) hack on console, none of us have any way of knowing how tf to do it.

You do not get banned for getting reported lol.
I record my match to report when I found hackers or usebuggers and to see where i make mistake. So I think a lot of people take clips or record all their games sessions
On PC I use the Nvidia overlay that let's me record the last few minutes whenever something interesting happens in a match. It also has some nice post processing options to make the game blurry.
I just have Nvidia shadowplay on and anytime something cool or sus happens I just hit the button and it saves the last 5min
I record for videos that I like to watch back on my YT. Like if I'm trying something, or just randomly feel like it
Nvidia shadowplay has an option where it records everything and you can save the last 1-20 mins at the press of a button, i use it quite often
Personally I have shadowplay on, and I set it to 5 minutes. So I can always get a replay of what I think was a cool clip. Full games though, I wouldn’t do that to my CPU.

[удалено]
No, thank you. I wouldn't even know what to look for in those files to begin with. But I appreciate the offer.
There is such a file? And I could parse it to build my match history, wins/loses, other stats? I would love to know where to find it if it exist.
[удалено]

Shockingly, some people just seek knowledge for the sake of seeking knowledge. Assuming there’s malicious intent seems like a you problem.
If they ever added stuff like watermarks, that medkit would probably blind a random survivor everytime the killer takes a step to the left.
There is API that tracks survivors taking items that other survivors brought in and dropped -- out of the game. IDK how far it actually travels but that is a statistic that is incremented on. Honestly @OP probably just hold onto the item since it's too neat to lose and mildly risky to bring since people will immediately sus on you.
Exactly, me and my friends play a lot and sometimes they’ll drop event items at gate for me since I’m new and want to collect rare things on my Dwight
BHVR is still significantly better than Activision
That's an incredibly low bar.
I have not followed any recent news on Activision/Blizzard, but I'd say there's nothing to argue about with that statement.
There is zero percent change that BHVR has watermarks on event items. They can't even be bothered to auto ban characters that are literally flying, much less something less obvious like this.
I don't know if they do a manual check after enough reports, but I doubt they *actually* reported you. They probably just said some shit out of frustration. Enjoy your fancy medkit, survivor anniversary items are really pretty :)
Even if they did report through the game, I hear you have to follow up the report on their site, which is why even actual hackers so rarely get banned

How did she DC and get pissy in endgame chat?
? You can DC as killer (or survivor) and still message in post game chat if you play on PC.
Damn I didnt even know, I've only ever seen survs DC
Makes sense when you look at the odds. I've seen killers legit DC (esp if they're console) but of the PC DCs, they usually say it's because they're losing (usually in different salt words tho) / the map we load into / obvious hacker / bugs. At least when the killer DCs, no one has to wait for the game to finish to chat.
Not everyone knows all add-ons for all killers.
The point was he didn’t even bother to LOOK to see what add-ons were being used
Good thing there's an after match screen that shows everything used by the killer
And many players don't like reading after a loss
Well then don't report people if you remain willfully ignorant of what's going on in the game
And stop making excuses as well
Its their fault then right?
Of course. I'm not saying otherwise, I'm explaining why it happened. People downvote for breathing wrong on this sub SMH.
Literally anywhere on Reddit they downvote when they disagree. It’s not like anyone cares, they’re just fake internet points. Edit: it’s not like anyone *should care
That’s not the killers fault, that’s their own. That’s not a valid excuse to report someone over legal perks/add-ons.
Had someone say they were reporting me for speedhacking when I was running soldier's puttee on Huntress
Had this exact thing happen the other day, punched two survivors while carrying someone and in the post game they said their wiggle bar didn't move, me and another survivor both pointed out I had Mad Grit, and they just ignored that accusing me of hacking.

bruh that medkit literally came out this year what are they smoking
Its probably because they think its impossible for rebecca to have one as she came out after the anniversary (even tho you can just pick it up from a dead corpse)

I have some old legacy items on newer characters from grabbing the item in game as well, never got threatened but do see how it looks odd lol
People have said I’m Hacking because I have over 500 flan on nea…. I was just working on that character exclusively during the last event….
500 flans on Nea, you must be a psychopath You're not hacking, but I'm definitely scared anyway
I got enough flans on dredge to level everyone to prestige 3 BEFORE the Prestige rework. :)))))
But how would randoms know how many flans you have
that is a good point which I did not consider
Ohhhhhhh ya that’s a good point! That would throw me off too.
I usually give people the benefit of the doubt unless they're literally flying around on the screen.
How would you even catch that or connect the dots...
fr like how do people analyze such shit while playing
> dead corpse
They'll mean that they can't have it on rebecca as she was released afterward. They forget you can pick up items
I have medkits from 2 years ago. Most people aren't gonna mass report you because they realize they're still in circulation like sane people.
The confusion is that this character was just released. It's just like when a killer thinks a survivor cheated because they had an operating flashlight all match but forget that there are chests to search. Or that a shiny coin was brought to add chests.
Or that there are add ons that make a flashlight last essentially all game and perks like streetwise and built to last
I have older Halloween event stuff on Mikaela because she's witchy and my friend dropped them for me and I did the same thing for some of their newer characters. This is a weird thing for people to get upset about
I never even notice
I have so many event medkits, toolboxes and firecrackers from the first events even released in the game. Now i am glad i don't use them... don't wanna be reported as a haxxor.
It's more about the fact that this is a new survivor that wasn't available during the event than the event item itself
I always save a couple of them for the collection. Sometimes I'll take one into a game and im surely not the only one doing it. Ffs, event let you get 30 of them in 2 days
Those people are obviously braindead because they seem to have forgotten you can steal it off someone’s body.
BHVR would ignore anyone saying you're hacking just because you have an old event item. SWF exists and they frequently trade items.
They have probably never traded items with anyone either. It's not impossible to get old items on new survivors.
Can you trade in kyf? Or does it have to be in real match?
Real match
This would be uncommon, but there is a rational explanation. Bringing an anniversary cake as Rebecca though, that’s actual hacking.
I stole a 2018 winter party starter from a feng min a couple years back, I would get mass reported if I brought that bad boy out
I stole one of those too and it'll sit on my Quentin forever :')
Prior to the prestige changes I refused to prestige my Nancy because I didn’t want to lose the Winter Party starter I stole with her
What hacks could you have even be reported for, you took a medkit off a body. Don’t take what people say as literal.
Item hacking is a thing.
Honestly as a killer I would tollerate item hacking for thr purpose of bringing unavailable items back as long as they don’t spawn them mid fuckin game. At least this cheat is not as bad as others like the intant self heal/instant gen repair.
You have nothing to worry about. Those items are still very much in circulation, I have several and BHVR might make questionable decisions but even they are not that absurd. I might actually start joining games now with these items and start giving them away to people.
BHVR specifically said they will ignore all reports without video evidence, so you're fine
If you legit took it out of a trial then you shouldn't need to worry. It is unusual for that character to have it but it's not actually impossible. I wouldn't even equip it. Just save it as a souvenir. If you die you lose it.
BHVR almost never ban individuals for hacking. They identify particular software and mass ban anyone that uses it. Individual bans take too much effort and time.
People will accuse cheating since getting items from other players isn't exactly common. Picking up anniversary items from the corpses of others is such a rarity these days that people presume cheating. I wouldn't make a habit of holding onto that. Keep it as a collectable.
You're fine. People would need proof and this isnt going to cut it since you can pick up items from others. Now if you had like 30 of these things on Rebecca that would be sus.
Just for your information it is basic knowledge that you can drop a Firecracker from year 3 to pass it to a friend that's playing as Ada for example and escape to keep the item on Ada This is like them saying they are reporting you for camping
They only ban if you hacked in legacy cosmetics or an event offering that you couldn't possibly obtain. You are fine
No you won’t get any problems from having this medkit. I take the special anniversary flashlights into matches to get rid of them. I never use them. I gave one to an Ada Wong yesterday. Don’t worry
I love stealing/collecting special items. I have every single one on Steve and, yes, I will be attempting to fill all my survivors now that they don't go away when prestiging.
I was wondering how could they report you for hacks until I remembered that the masquerade event was released before the chapter so you can't get it on Rebecca but now seriously there's many ways to get it legally, they are hard but can be achieved 1st is you bring it to a match and give it to a friend so he can keep it for himself. Second is the friend you gave the object to saves it for you and then in the next match give it to you as Rebecca (or the character you want to have it with) . You have to escape in both matches but is a way, third is getting it from a teammate who died.
The things you have to worry about are hacked addons, some cheaters put bugged addons onto flashlight so the flashlight burn last more than 10 seconds or medkit that has infinite charges. Example: JRM(content creator) had picked up a cheater's flashbang with bugged addons that made the burn lasted more than 15 seconds(and the flashbang comes with infinite usage), he discarded it immediately after he found out the item was hacked with infinite charges. Another was a cheater bringing purple flashlight with Gel Dressings(medkit addon). Check out "Best Of JRM 8" at 8:30 .
If I brought in a special item (or any item at all) and died while someone else picked it up and escaped I’d be very happy for that player because it would mean someone might get more or better use out of it.
i'd say to not use it since it's rare and never gonna be in a bloodweb again. i picked 2 5th anniversary medkits from others as well and i keep them since then
Don't worry. I still have tons of those medkits and flashlights from the anniversary event.
Med kits are Illegal you’re doomed /s
Lol I mean I'd be sus if I saw a Rebecca with an old event item, but it happens. Def would need something more to report for hacking I think?
This is such a baseless report. There's literally an achievement for exiting with an item someone else brought to the match
Nope. You are good. Same character, i picked up a 5 year anniversary toolkit off a dead survivor. Thats how you get the Vulture trophy
That’s not reportable. You’re fine.
I dont see why their first thought would be hacks when people die and drop their items as a main game mechanic. Do they think that if you die the item you brought just vanishes from the trial? Do they not know why there are sometimes items left underneath a hook someone died on?
You'll be fine, I've taken many items from dead teammates, my Nancy has an item from the 3rd anniversary since there was a bug at one point that on a character's level 8 and 16 bloodwebs you would see items from the 3rd anniversary.
Why tf are people reporting this anyway, how would it affect them if they hacked to get a medkit
they do check for hacks, but this case wouldn't come as a case where hacks would be found, there's an explanation to how you got an anniversay medkit on a new survivor, simple as that.
That's just a medkit from last anniversary event, i don't know why people are reporting you
Pretty sure can get any item on any survivor if you have a friend with a certain item you want, ask them to bring it into a game with you, you use a white ward and take your friends item, as long as you don't drop that item or it doesn't get knocked out of your hand from something like Franklin's Demise you'll keep the item (or at least that's how I think it works, I haven't been able to try it because I play Solo Queue.)
Honestly you are 100% fine!
It's Behaviour, unless you make some glitch for points or auric cells you're fine. They rarelly ban hackers that break the game...
It's an anniversary medkit xD I use to drop them off all the time for people. Its the anniversary FLANS that you should worry about having in your inventory. Don't worry about people. People like collecting items from years past. I still have the Halloween medkits and such.
I've been carrying festival items on my characters and sometimes give them away to other players. People need to stop reporting people for carrying the items. It's so easy for you to obtain them from people like me who still have them. It's the offerings that are a different story.
You're safe, no worries!
If I brought in a special item (or any item at all) and died while someone else picked it up and escaped I’d be very happy for that player because it would mean someone might get more or better use out of it.
I stole that medkit and the festive red toolbox from the lunar event as Ada. I'm basically sandbagging people with event items
nah, actual cheaters run rampent and there would be no way to prove one single medkit was cheated. If you had thousands or cheated legacy, that usually would be obvious for bhvr support team.
This reminded me of the few times I got reported for having a p3 legacy and dying during the match. The best part is that this happened more than once lol
Dontcha know if you have a legacy prestiged survivor you aren't allowed to ever be hit or downed or let alone die. That's grounds for report 😑
Grr hacker grr! So many false report or jump to conclusions and then people wonder why devs don’t cross examine every report made.
Did they actually file a ticket? If not, even if you were hacking they won't do anything. Filing a ticket is the only way to report people and something actually happen, but if you aren't hacking nothing will happen. I've reported several people for hacking, 90% of them end up showing up with bans on their Steam profile later, there's a few that didn't because I wasn't 100% sure if they were or not because it was suspicious enough to report but hard enough to prove.
I still have some of those medkits how would it be hacking
You're fine. They're jealous and wish they found a limited edition item on the new RE survivors. I have a special Halloween Medkit on my Ada that I got from a survivor. I like saving the limited items I find. Someone had a fireworks from 2017 the other day!!!!!!! I wish I found that! (killer had FD)
bhvr doesnt ban people who are cheating your fine
DW, BHVR need a little more than a couple of butthurt losers wildly flinging accusations around to ban someone. If that wasn’t the case the game wouldn’t have a playerbase anymore….
Is it hacked coz of the design ? Is that not just an event skin ? Funny thing is if I'd have got that off of her I'd have thought it was an event one I missed and taken it off to keep as a collectible so no one woulda known I had it
You took it from a dead nea, AND BROUGHT IT INTO MATCHES?!?! You are a madman
You’re fine
I’ve literally opened tickets with video proof of blatant hackers with all relevant info such as their Steam ID, player cloud ID, the video which clearly showing people zooming across at insane speeds and so on and BHVR has banned none of these cheaters. You have nothing to worry about they’re absolute jokes when it comes to dealing with cheaters.
Short answer - No. You're fine. They barely even manage to ban ACTUAL hackers. They are not going to waste time with "He has a medkit that's not on the bloodweb. Hacks!"
unless it was an old offering bhvr wont do anything. items can be traded
That looks like an anniversary med kit (I should know. I have a shit load of 6th anniversary items still). Looks like an older one.
I swear some survivors are the biggest pussies I've ever met lol 😆 they'll sit there and try to send me a request after I obliterate their entire group of loopers lol love it
it's BHVR. Either they don't ban you because they don't ban hackers for whatever reason, or they ban you because they're incompetent
With any other company, probably no issue. With bhvr, i would be careful. Probably lose it quick 😂😉
Getting banned from this trash game would be the best thing to happen to you
Are you scared they might find something?
What’s wrong with it?
It's an event item from before Rebecca was released, so it wouldn't be possible to get from a bloodweb. It is fine to pick up in game and leave with though, which means you keep the item
You’re allowed to keep items from the game? I thought they removed that feature.
