Mods and cheats allow some Grand Theft Auto: Online s to do virtually whatever they want, and as it appears, Rockstar Games doesn’t seem to really care about it. At the very least, they’re not actively trying to stop the unfairness running rampant in the game.
Even though they risk suspension, many Grand Theft Auto Online players turn to mods to allow them to do incredible and often ridiculous things. For some players, cheating in GTA Online has even turned into a business. Grand Theft Auto's online gameplay.
In the past, Rockstar has affirmed its commitment to targeting cheaters in order to make GTA Online as fair as possible. In 2015, Rockstar announced they had “implemented new systems to allow us to more efficiently detect and target any players found running mods and cheat programs within GTA Online.” A post made to their website introducing the new system emphasized their zero tolerance for using mods or cheats, explaining it may lead to “disciplinary action,” such as time spent in the cheater pool or a ban on the player’s . Rockstar also acknowledged players that were actively trying to stop cheating, writing, “Thank you to of the GTA Online community who have been doing their part by reporting cheaters.”
GTA Online Cheaters Are Being Targeting By Other Players
However, despite this, cheating continues to be a massive problem in free money glitches. Since Rockstar seems unwilling to fix such cheats – or, at the very least, what they have done so far has not been satisfactory in solving the issue – some GTA Online players have taken things into their own hands.
For instance, Reddit AnthonyESLV went viral for discovering a method to prevent other players from utilizing the god mode van glitch, doesn't have vigilante missions like other games in the Grand Theft Auto franchise, maybe this is Rockstar's new version.
As of now, there doesn’t appear to be a way to specifically stop players from taking advantage of certain hacks and exploits, but given the increased number of players attempting to stop cheaters, GTA Online s may find a way after all. If one thing is clear, however, it’s that GTA Online remains full of cheaters even years after launch, but Rockstar Games doesn’t seem to be too bothered by it.
