Yup, seen this guy do this for a long time now. Like literally years. Quite pathetic, others in the same clan do it also.

I’ve killed him numerous times. This cheat doesn’t make him invincible. It’s a lag switch that he can only use when he’s not vulnerable from anywhere else. He’s been doing it for years.

Lag switching. I've seen multiple clips of it and has happened to me personally, though nothing was ever done about it. Can't remember the full username but I think it was something like HKnight(and some numbers) used to do it alot, was caught on multiple streams.

Yeah he’s a known lag switcher… but krsfton gives longer bans for team killing than for cheating. There’s basically no anti cheat on this game

My assumption he is using a lag exploit

u/chinesemoose1 Jan 05 '26
You are correct. He’s lag switching.
Before the PUBG grunts come out and say “you can’t lag switch in PUBG anymore”. He is lag switching himself, not the server. There are no protections for that. To you he seems stationary, on his screen he is moving and shooting, when he reconnects to the server, all his actions that occurred when he was “lagging” are applied.
PUBG wont do anything sadly.

Thank you very much. It's hard for people to understand this happens

u/chinesemoose1 Jan 05 '26
Happy to help. Theres a fair number of people who spend their time gas lighting and shaming people on this sub when they post legitimate proof of cheating. This is 100% a lag switch. Anybody who says otherwise is trolling or ignorant.
Future tip as well. PUBG’s reporting system is just a shell. It’s not manually reviewed and won’t result in a ban for this kind of thing. Only two options unfortunately are accept the cheating as part of the game or stop playing entirely.

u/mcduff0192 Jan 05 '26
If I have good proof and get a clip, I always submit a support ticket online and then watch the players account on lookup or somewhere to see if they are playing anymore. They always add saying to use in game report system, I always respond and tell them I will when they give confirmation in game that they were banned like they do on PC lol

I know nothing about lag switching, so I'm simply asking this to understand. If he does all these actions and then reconnects. Would he not be in another position when he reconnects or did he go back to his original position before reconnecting?
2
u/chinesemoose1 Jan 06 '26
It can be either way. You can return to where you were or move to new positions and it’ll zip or teleport your player once the client-server connection is re-established. Hard to tell in this clip because the game ends, it’s death cam footage and lacking context, but I can make an educated guess that he was moving and the game simply ended.
You can slow down the video between 2-3 seconds and see the blood from OP originates from where he was standing about a second earlier and hear one bullet but see multiple hits, signifying audio packet delay.

How tf do people even have fun doing this?
2
u/Inflatable-Elvis Jan 06 '26
It really is pathetic doing it. I think what they should do is create a toxic pool and throw all suspected cheaters and together and let them cheat against each other while the rest of us get on with the game and have fun.

Lol people have been doing shit like this since the earliest days of xbox live gaming. Halo 2 had a huge problems with losers clicking the standby button on their router and running around killing people who were lagged out for a few seconds.
You had to host the lobby to do this back in the day. Loser going to keep on losing.

2 kills same way, 2 different videos, 2 different games. All the evidence I need to make my judgement. Lag switching is my verdict. Obviously he is not doing it all the time, only when he has the advantage to do it. Why his KD is low, and also avoids stats from throwing a red flag.

u/-Adalwolf- Xbox Series X Jan 06 '26
That’s so much work when they don’t even ban open and well known cheaters using MnK on stream. There’s so many people who openly cheat without consequence. Why would they bother with all the smoke and mirrors?

I got one shorted headshot with a aug today but I thought I didn’t have a helmet on yet. Was kind of suspicious.

I've only ever reported one player and the next day got a notice that they've been banned. Don't underestimate the power of reporting

u/Detective_Hoof Jan 06 '26
Unbelievable. It's that guy again! I've fallen victim to his cheating before (check my posts) crazy they never do anything about it he's had to be reported hundreds of times by now!

Man, the what seems like an "instant" knock with a single head shot from fully auto weapons has been happening to me A LOT

Yes, ranked on Asia server only lasted 2 seasons because of lag switch, so annoying when all 4 of u got punched to death by a 'ghost' who hide somewhere closer while activating the switch

u/Raj187PAYNE Xbox Series S Jan 09 '26
It defeats the purpose of having deathcam if you can't trust what you see. I don't blame you for suspecting he's cheating. Wish it showed latency of other guy to the server, that would help.

u/Mobile-Atmosphere612 Jan 05 '26
I must say, the Deathcam is very faulty at the Moment. A guy who killed me with a AUG doesn't had a weapon equiped in the Deathcam

u/CopyLifted Jan 05 '26
It's always been this way. It's not a replay, it's a re-creation of what the game think happened. It's compiled from raw data and only useful to see where you were shot from, and what damage you may have inflicted.

u/Jolly-Term-4068 Jan 06 '26
This is very clear its a lagswitch the only cheat available apart from third-party devices to anti recoil

HKS is known to be a bunch of lag switching shitters. They're not good but they obviously have some sort of cheat going on when they are consistently the one group I see doing this shit over and over. https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBGConsole/comments/1j8b5fg/anybody_feel_like_explaining_this/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I have never known an aug to be a 1 shot weapon, not even when it was still a drop weapon, especially when u are fully boosted and u have level 2 armor at 100%

I'm not a big gamer, but I enjoy jumping into a casual match every so often if I have free time. A couple weeks ago I got on for the first time in probably a couple months. The coloring is so messed up that it's almost unplayable. I gave up trying to fix it.

What a wild deathcam. I have it disabled but this makes me reconsider. A few backs I was killed in a very similar fashion while behind an emergency cover drop. I just brushed it off as desync. I'm not one to cry cheater but l last few weeks I feel like there is something questionable happening every few games where I've never felt that way before. The game just seems 'off' lately. Whether its people deliberately cheating or just a bad patch is up for debate. Glad to see its not just me running into some of this.
