Red Dead Cheaters and Hackers Be Warned: The Ban Hammer Is Coming – Next Week

Posted August 17, 2010 at 10:38am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games, Social Club

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
Rockstar Games

BORN-TO-GAME is a cheater on Red Dead Redemption that has somehow managed to slip through the cracks in the Ban Hammer armor. He is known to use a modded PS3 console with an aimbot and a modified controller. BORN-TO-GAME has actually admitted to using several mods and unethical methods to cheat his way up the leaderboards. There is a video posted on YouTube with him explaining how to achieve 60 wins in about an hour. This cheater has no business being in the top spot for the most wins on Red Dead Redemption and should have his rank reset.
