Types of hacks
I believe the first thing you should know when trying to catch a hacker is how they behave. There are several types of hacks nowadays, since we don't have a proper antihack system yet, so know what you should be aware to:
  • Godmode: The person get the "Hand of God" status, meaning they can't be hit
  • Roomrape: The person teleports itself to your position and and just keeps contantly slashing you
  • Infinite ammo: They don't run out of ammo
  • Rapidfire: They can shoot much more fast than normally possible
  • Speedhack: They get really faster than normally possible
There are still another kinds of hacks but these are the ones that you can better spot and help reporting when you see.

How to catch a hacker
When you believe a hacker is in your room, be aware: The best thing you can do is just report them so they soon get banned, don't try to trashtalk, raging, or surrender the match. Continue to play and safely get them recorded without them knowing that you know they are hackers.

The first thing you should do to catch the hacker is start recording the match. Press F11 to start recording and press it again to stop it. The file will be automatically save in this directory: "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Gunz2\Video" If by any reason the file is not there, whenever you stop recording there is an orange message in your ingame chat telling you where it was saved.

Catching Godmode: If you play on low graphic setting, you may not be aware, but whenever someone has Hand of God status (invencibility), they have a blue aura outlining its animation. So, if you playing in low and see that your shots and slash are passing through someone, just get the graphic on medium or higher and record the blue aura.

Catching Roomrape: Its a pretty obvious one, since the guy is literally teleporting in front of you, so just film it.

Catching Rapidfire/Inf Ammo:These two normally came along with each other, normaly people use this with a slow weapon to do bigger damage, so its pretty obvious if you see someone using a Predator but shoots as fast as a Reaper. With this hack, always have yourself killed by it so it shows in your screen what weapon the guy was using. Also, try to listen to the shoot pattern sound, its pretty abnormal sound cause the delay between shots is too small.

Catching Speedhack: This hack can be catch by two ways: If they hacker is the host of the match, he will not be faster, but EVERYONE will, so if you see that everyone in your room is incredibly fast, hold tab to show the name of the people in the room while you record, so its in evidence that the host is using it. If he is not the host, only he will be fast, so record him running alonside with someone else, so we can see clearly the difference of speed animation between the hacker and the normal player.

IMPORTANT: Remember, whenever you record a hacker, hold tab a little to show the name of everyone in the room, and also try to have yourself killed by him, so it shows his name in the middle of your screen. This is an important step since your video will be a proof used against the hacker.
How to report a hacker
Firstly, obviously report him ingame, pressing esc middle game, choosing "Report" and hist IGN(In game nick). If you didnt report him middle game, in the aftermatch screen just press the sad face ":(" button and repot him the same way.

After that, get your video in the folden told, than edit it somehow to be a single and short video of the hack, using any kind of video editor. I recommend VideoPad cause its simple and small to download. If you can't edit anyhow, just use the video as it is. Remember: When editing the video, don't get the quality too low so you can't see things like the hackers IGN properly.

Upload the video in any kind of website proper to that, as Maiet recommended that you do it in Youtube. If you want to protect you privacy or don't show the video to others, upload it on your channel as "unlisted", so just who has the link can see it.

At last, send your video to Maiet's support, using this addres: support+gunz2.steam@maiet.net in the following format:
  • My IGN: Rizzou
  • Hacker's IGN: MrHacker
  • Link to the video: youtube.com/AhaICaugthYou
  • Description of the hack: Godmode, Roomrape, InfAmmo, RapidFire, Speedhack

Now, be aware that it takes about 1 to 3 bussiness days to the email be seen, and normally Maiet answers you saying if he got banned or not, and why.
If you want to track if he was banned or not, check the List of Banned Players. If you have any further question, visit the Gunz2 FAQ.
Special thanks
Thanks for reading this guide, and remember that this is the most effective and direct way to get a hacker banned and the game more clean. Posts about hackers on the forum rarely get attention and don't help much, just fill our community with this kind of thread, so please avoid that.

I would like to give a special thanks to Epthgod, OxNEOxO and Dr Shadowds, that are always helping the community here and taking the best out of what we can here in this game. Have fun playing!

How to hack: Open Cheat Engine and change values.

Game lacks any form of hack protection, a damn shame.

Neonic, as said in the guide, this is not the place to post that. But anyway, since we're on the same region, I should said that these guys were already reported. Anyway, send the e-mail.

Yeah I don't believe they are as much effective as a video. But if someone is hacking, just record them, its not hard. ;)

Sometimes when changing host several times in a match, some people end up bugging and get "invencible", but you can see clearly that this is not a hack cause the guy can get hit.

To unbug it, you must change host again (in deathmatch or time assault), or else, you can also wait for the next round. To find out if it was a case of hacking, check for the blue outline.

Tradução:
Ficou bem explicado. Só uma observação:
As vezes quando trocam várias vezes o host na partida, alguns personagens ficam bugados e acabam ficando invencíveis. Para desbugar esse personagem que esta invencível, é necessário trocar o host ou esperar começar o próximo round caso não seja mode DeathMatch, se for DeathMatch, só trocando o host. Para saber se o jogador esta usando hack ou foi bugado pelo host, só ver se ele esta com GodMode (contorno azul).

+1 This should stay as the number 1 guide so that hacking will be much more.... "preventable" in a community based way.
