Red Dead Cheaters and Hackers Be Warned: The Ban Hammer Is Coming – Next Week
Oh yes. As promised, the ban hammer is a’coming.
Next week, starting on Tuesday, August 24th – we will be swiftly and indefinitely banishing from the world of Red Dead Redemption multiplayer all Gamertags and PSN IDs we’ve detected with hacked game saves. Such cheating is a clear violation of our code of conduct, and punishable at our sole discretion.
If you are one of these people, we are giving you this last chance for REDEMPTION to restore your HONOR: you have one week from today to delete your hacked game save to be spared the hammer’s swift justice on the 24th.
Some notes to be aware of:
* This will not apply to those people who simply took advantage of temporary exploits to rapidly grind up XP a few weeks ago. We are able to tell who actually hacked their save to have impossible scores.
* Banned hackers will also be removed from the leaderboards.
* To be spared, any hacked saves that you have will need to be deleted – single player as well as multiplayer. You should be aware that everything is wiped when deleting saves. These are the only exceptions:
- Players would keep any Achievements/Trophies they had already earned.
- All preorder items tied to their accounts would be unlocked for them upon signing in and creating a new save while connected to Xbox LIVE or PlayStation Network
- Any cheats earned through Social Club would be unlocked for them upon signing in and creating a new save while connected to Xbox LIVE or PlayStation Network
* After deleting your hacked game save(s), you will then need to go online with Red Dead Redemption (prior to August 24th) for it to register that you're now playing clean. For single-player saves, you will need to re-play the game while connected until you gain access to the safehouse at MacFarlane's ranch. For multiplayer saves, you will need to play one full game online or do one Gang Hideout.
Also – we’d like to make clear that the comments area below is not the place to air out your grievances with this or to state your excuse (“Um, my cousin was playing on my 360 for a few days – I think he did it!” etc) – all such comments here and in other posts will be deleted, subject to our terms of service. Please instead direct any and all correspondence on this subject to banhammer@rockstargames.com and we will have a look there.
Thank you all

Just tonight I shot this dude 6 times with a shotgun AND hit him with 4 tomahawks.
Somehow I still died..
But it is not fun anymore to play when another player, KILLAFORNIA kills me with anything, even dynamite while he is really miles away. For example, he used throwing knifes and killed me while he was 5000 ft away.
Can anybody do something about people like Killafornia77 and Killafornia88?
Then we, my son and I will have a lot more fun with this great game

'Lt Petr0' on Xbox 360 for Hacking in Red Dead Redemption. He was using a hack to have unlimited ammo in the explosive rifle and was able to rapidly fire it like a machine gun. He kept instantly killing me when I respawned until my game crashed into a loading loop. He had top rank and all gold guns hacked too...If they don't get banned the best we can do is always Vote To Kick them from games
Online gaming will die, because these companies can't or won't fix the problem. It's cheaters galore, and it sucks.
