Hai guys, XyZebrAbC here and today I just wanted to talk about hackers. I'm not here to talk about how brainless they are because we already know that, don't we ;). I'm here to talk about the current trends of what hacks hackers are using. This means, what hacks are popular in hackers, how to spot a hacker of this sort, and how to defend yourself from these hackin' noobs.


So, let's start off with trends starting in about February or so. Back in February was when Nodus made its biiiiig comeback. The original maker of Nodus started to code for it again and then other people started coding their own combo hacks. Nodus is probably the most dangerous hack to be faced up against. People using Nodus have auto-sprint, usually speed hacks, some type of forcefield, aimbot, and kill aura, and chest finders. Most Nodus users will have also have incorporated a minimap mod or radar to find people that they can easily prey on because of their hacks. Nodus users are extremely easy to spot. Usually, they will spaz out by having their heads spinning, their bodies spinning, something like that. It is SUPER obvious to spot a nodus user. If you run across one, please try to record them if you have the ability to and report them as soon as possible. Now, you may ask "How do I defend myself from someone like this?". Okay guys, sorry but in all honesty, you really don't. You have two options. Run away as fast as you can and get the whole rest of the game to team with you on them, keep your distance and, if you can even hit them, shoot them with a lot of arrows, or, my favorite RUUUNNNN! Nodus is very dangerous and should be stopped, guys. If you are a nodus user, you should really stop, you're not getting any better at the game and you're only ruining the game for others. This also applies to all hackers.
So now, let's talk about the next trending hack. This started around late April to early May, about when I got my new computer and the amount of Nodus users had started to die down. The new hack people started to use was FORCEFIELD. Forcefield is in no way as dangerous as Nodus, in fact, I am pretty sure it is included IN nodus. Forcefield causes a player to deal damage to anyone who comes within a certain radius of them, so that they will die quicker. Most people die to forcefield users when they are weak and try to run away. The forcefield aura will catch them, dealing damage and therefore killing them. Forcefield is not a super-major hack, but it is EXTREMELY annoying. Forcefield users will typically be good at dealing with teams because of this aura. A good way to spot a forcefield user is in battle with them. Sadly, you may die while noticing it because of the constant damage being dealt to you. But you will notice if you see someone near a certain amount of people and all the players around this particular person are taking damage. A good way to deal with these hackers is again, to keep your distance and stuff them with arrows. If you do not have arrows, try to stun them with your fishing rod, hit them a few times, retreat, and retry that strategy. Critical hits are important when fighting hackers because the faster you kill them, the better.
A very short trend that occured about a couple weeks ago and only lasted about a week was the Sprint Hacks trend. For those of you thinking about BSM, these are a little different if I'm correct. These hackers will be able to constantly sprint, sprint in all directions, sprint unnaturally fast, and get many critical hits, dealing you more damage and killing you. Like I said before, this is not to be confused with Better Sprint Mod, they are slightly different, Better Sprint Mod is slightly less severe, but still an illegal hack. I am not going to mention better sprint mod because it kind of is always there. Not necessarily trending, but you'll always kind of see BSM users. These Sprint Hackers will have sprint particles when they are standing still. IMPORTANT: You may see people with sprint particles when they are standing on their tribute plates before a game of MCSG starts. Note: THIS IS A GLITCH, it does not mean they are sprint hackers. A good way to deal with a sprint hacker is, not to run away, because they will catch up :p, but to just stun them alot, with either fishing rods, bows, or even Flint and Steel. Then fight them as normally and hope for the best. Speed/Sprint hacks are very serious, but are not too hard to deal with, because, to my extent of knowledge, there is no real way to deal with them.
And last but not least, we have the current trend. The trend I seem to be running into is a lot of Aimbot users. Now, I think we all know what that is and even if you don't, it's pretty self explanatory. Aimbot users are people that have an aim assisted client. This is one of the more dangerous and severe hacks because people with this tend to kill a lot of people unfairly. They are semi-powerless, however, against teams. Since, to the extent of my knowledge, aimbot users can only attack one person, so teaming up on them will certainly at least boost your chances of surviving a little longer. Aimbot users are very hard to spot. The easiest way to spot one is if they are hitting you and turned in another direction. You should defend yourself from these types of players by, again, keeping your distance and relying on secondary weapons instead of sword to sword combat, because in most cases, you will lose them.
Thanks to all of you for reading this and I hope it helped all of you a lot. I love contributing to this community and feeling that I have done something to improve it, hence the Hub suggestion. (I feel i have a major tie to the addition of the hub <3) I really hope this helped and that you can be much more aware of hackers in the future. For now, this is me signing off, tanxalot and seeeyaaaaa!!!

Yeah, it's pretty much the same for all of them, I just thought I'd try something. The grammar may be a little bit off because I'm tired right now, but... XD

Anyways, being realistic here, I'd like to note a few things...

Forcefield IS a major hack. That, with aimbot and autosprint, is very difficult to kill.

Nodus may not be easy to spot, depend what 'features' of Nodus they have (They may just use chestfinder or something).

I don't think you fully understand what these hacks are, as I found several flaws in your OP.
