Friday the 13th: Cheating in a dead game?

The ways of cheating in Friday the 13th: The Game are numerous, starting with many animation cancels for both Jason and the counselors.

But for quite some time there has been a cheat going around that makes the counselor invincible. I don't know the official name of this cheat, I call it super cheat.

 

 

The counselor who uses it can't be killed in any way. If Jason slashes them, they take no damage. If Jason grabs them, they instantly get free from the grab.

Other counselors can't kill these cheating counselors by running them over with the car, they are immune to the car.

These counselors also move super fast. If you see counselor white circles moving fast on the map, there's your first clue that there are cheaters in the lobby.

 

 

There was this person showcasing this super cheat on Youtube and maybe some other places, I don't remember. Then later this person started selling this cheat.

That's right, the cheaters have bought this cheat, and anyone can buy it. 

At first I saw this super cheat being used by some Twitch streamer. But lately I have run into these cheaters in my own lobbies twice. On the second time there were actually two of them.

All this cheating I have seen has been on PS5. 

And of course the cheaters have the excuse that somehow it is right to cheat in a dead game.

Well, like I always say: Assholes will be assholes.

 

 

Here's a gameplay video showing some features of this super cheat.

 

 

There's one simple solution to cheaters: Refuse to play with them. If you encounter these cheaters while playing as Jason, don't bother trying to kill them, it's a waste of time. Leave the lobby. If no one plays with them they can't have their fun.
