We take things seriously!
Sharkmob takes cheating and misconduct very seriously.
We have a team fully committed to go through all player created reports as well as an anti-cheat that is constantly learning and adapting to new ways of cheating.
It is a core value in Sharkmob to have fun and it is a value we want to express through all our games.
For everyone to have fun, we aim to ensure that we have a safe community with fair gameplay.
This means that Sharkmob has zero tolerance for cheating and toxic behavior.
Below is a quick guide to what is currently not acceptable.
Cheating:
What is considered cheating in Bloodhunt?
The list below is a guideline and provides a quick overview. However, the list is not limited to the cheats below – just because a cheat is not mentioned in the list, does not make it legal to use.
- Using any 3rd party software to gain an unfair advantage.
- Aimbots and triggerbots
- Artificial lag/lag switch
- World-hacking
- Wall hacking
- Teaming / secret coteries
- Teaming up in any type of solo match, by forming a secret alliance with another solo player or group – working together to kill everyone in the match except from your secret alliance.
- Rapid Fire Moderations
- Modifying a controller or keyboard to gain the advantage of having a faster firing weapon than the standard.
- Abusing exploits/bugs
- Purposely using a bug or exploit in the game, to gain unfair advantage.
- For example: There’s a bug that prevents you from taking damage by the red gas. Staying in the red gas until the game finish, would be abusing a bug.
- Purposely using a bug or exploit in the game, to gain unfair advantage.
Misconduct:
- Stream Sniping
- Watching a streamer and connecting to the same lobby only to kill the streamer, by knowing the streamer’s location from watching the stream.

- Inappropriate usernames, curse words, or other uses of offensive language, chat room spam, being impolite, rude, culturally offensive, or similar actions that break the game rules.

I was banned, but I am innocent – can I appeal against the ban?
No process is perfect - and we understand that sometimes anti-cheat software may show a false positive or sometimes, despite several reviews of a player report, the support team could make a wrong decision.
In these cases, we suggest you submit a request to our support team to appeal against the ban.
To make a good case, we always encourage you to provide as much evidence as possible to prove your innocence.
