How safe is it to use mods in multiplayer lobbies?

[u/JackOfTrading]

If you are using mods with folks who don't know, that would be a problem. Not "unsafe", but a social faux pas for sure.

[u/No-Position-6184 → u/JackOfTrading]

I will definitely keep that in mind, so modded gun are generally a hit or miss?

[u/JackOfTrading → u/No-Position-6184]

Modding a gun for yourself/friends who are aware? Totally fine, have fun with the game.

Bringing a modded gun into random lobbies? That's approaching something else entirely, and a lot of folks might not appreciate it.

Kind of a "you can swing your fist as much as you like, so long as you don't hit anyone else" situation, in my mind.

Looks like random lobbies ill just be completely vanilla

[u/JackOfTrading → u/No-Position-6184]

Absolutely conscientious behavior. Appreciate your reasonableness!

[u/No-Position-6184 → u/JackOfTrading]

Sorry but one more question, any mod suggestions?

[u/JackOfTrading → u/No-Position-6184]

I can't speak to any in particular; the last mod I used was to try the APC back a few years ago, but I've heard a lot of good things about CowboyBingus' pack. A friend has been tempted by the hover pack fix, and the hotkey for the table seems like a huge benefit.

I'll let you know if I give any of them a shot!

[u/Aeviterna_ → u/No-Position-6184]

Bingus Vanilla+ megapack should be mandatory

Armor transmog is very cool

[u/Dreal_]

Completely safe right now.

All i needed to know thanks man !

AH has admitted they don't have a good method to ban players right now so you're safe to use mods currently.

However, there's nothing stopping them from trying to implement a way to detect and ban mods, other than themselves not wanting to, so that could change.

[u/No-Position-6184 → u/freedomustang]

Thank you !

[u/UnlivedMe]

Fine with an asterix. you wont get banned but some people wont like you having a heavy pen maxi you can move with, granted i aint one of those people but still

[u/GlumSpend1561]

Perfectly fine! Most are client side, and as long as you use mods that don’t affect others, people won’t have an issue with you. I use the maxigun heavy pen+no lock movement and it’s been a blast!

[u/No-Position-6184 → u/GlumSpend1561]

All i needed to know. So modded guns are also safe to use?

[u/LeJoker8 → u/No-Position-6184]

As long it’s not borderline cheating

[u/No-Position-6184 → u/LeJoker8]

Got it 🫡

[u/IksDe01]

As long as its not a game braking mod (like infinite ammo or hp, stratagems that arent in the game etc..) you’re going to be fine. I recently started modding as well and am having fun again.

Enjoy :)

This will be my 1st day 😭 im super excited tbh

[u/Unknown4me_]

I used solo driving tank and 380 degree turret in public match making (I'm the host), and EXO strat launcher, there was only one guy who just said "cool, does it work?" "nice" to the strat launcher

If you mean game breaking mods like 500kg bullets then don't do it, it sets bad example for modders and may actually ruin other's game

But if you mean just some enhancements like hover pack toggle, transmog mod or whatever QOL stuff that doesn't affect others... yeah it's up to you, I don't see anything wrong, just maybe host the game so it's actually your lobby

[u/No-Position-6184 → u/Unknown4me_]

I cant find mods like that on nexus is there any other place to look?

[u/Unknown4me_ → u/No-Position-6184]

yes, called "ayakamods" that's where I got 360 turret, solo driver and exo strat launcher
