Red Dead Redemption Update Eliminates Cheaters

Eliminating cheaters

Red Dead Redemption was the best sold video game in both May and June, according to the figures offered for the North American market by the NPD Group. And it seems that the developers at Rockstar and the publishers at Take Two are very keen to extend the live of their Western based open world game by both unleashing new downloadable content, aimed mostly at multiplayer focused gamers, and by making the online modes fairer by eliminating both cheaters and those who take pleasure in the misery of other gamers.

Rockstar is saying that all those who are caught cheating will be banned by the developers for as long as they believe is necessary given the nature of the cheat used. The creators of Red Dead Redemption are also preparing an new option that will allow those who are killed repeatedly in the Free Roam mode to actually teleport to another area of the game world in order to start over without being a target. Those who kill other players indiscriminately are in for a surprise as after a six player kill stream during the Free Roam mode they will get a Most Wanted title and a group of NPC characters will hunt them down.

An official post on the Rockstar boards says that players should “expect that we'll continue to monitor the lay of the land and fight the good fight via future title updates to make sure everyone's multiplayer experience is as fair and as fun as can be”.

Rockstar is saying that the new update for Red Dead Redemption should arrive at some point in August with a slew of other improvements and bug fixes. Separate downloadable content for the Western themed game will include more content for the multiplayer modes and the inclusion of zombies in a Horde like mode.

The Playstation 3 is full of cheaters. In just about every multiplayer match you will find someone using a modified controller, aimbot, rapid fire, glitches, and several other hardware and software hacks. These are some of the known cheaters on PS3.

GLEN_QUAGMIRE__ is a known cheater on the Playstation 3. He uses a modified controller and several glitches like rapid fire and shooting through walls.

marca00700, francho007, and elmatador_mx are three mexicans that posse up together a lot and tend to use the same cheats. They all have modified controllers use wall glitches. 

Dark_Unknown66 uses a modified controller.

x2_amx is known for using an aimbot and wall hacks to shoot through walls.

x_SCREWSTON-x is a known cheater on several Playstation 3 multiplayer games including Red Dead Redemption and Call Of Duty Black Ops. According to x_SCREWSTON-x "I am legendary on Black Ops". Who does this joker think he is? Several gamers have already filed reports against this loser for using a modded PS3 console, a modified controller and an aimbot. Be aware that x_SCREWSTON-x will most likely continue his cheating in the future with the upcoming releases of MW3 and Battlefield 3. Obviously he was dropped on his head one too many times as a child and doesn't understand right from wrong. x_SCREWSTON-x needs to be banned permanently from PSN.

Unforgiven_RW is a Red Dead Redemption cheater. This is most likely his second account. He was using an aimbot and a modified controller which was obvious by the way he was double and triple rolling and getting long distance headshots consistently. If anyone knows his main PSN username do us all a favor and post it. It's nice to know who the cheaters are.

spiderone69 is a cheater on Red Dead Redemption for the Playstation 3. This * uses a modded PS3 console with an aimbot and a modified controller. Several people have also said that he uses a lag switch. Don't waste your time playing with this cheater.

BriAn_eL_PeKe is a cheater on several Playstation 3 games including GTAIV, MW2, Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 and Red Dead Redemption. He uses a modded PS3 console and a modified controller. If he ever gets Battlefield 3 or MW3 he will probably cheat on those as well.

MET_ALL_ICA_1978 is a mexican cheater on Black Ops and Red Dead Redemption for the Playstation 3. He uses a modded PS3 console and a modified controller. This * has no legitimate skill and has cheated under multiple PSN usernames.

ReallyGroovy is a cheater on Red Dead Redemption for the Playstation 3. He is already listed as a cheater but the number of complaints gave us the incentive to mention him again. He uses a modded PS3 console and a modified controller. If anyone has seen him cheating on any other games like Battlefield 3 or MW3 let us know.

Pyrothedon1 is a cheater on Red Dead Redemption for the Playstation 3. He uses a modded PS3 console and a modified controller. Several people have also seen him on MW3 so his game has to be suspect there as well.

ANIMEOTAKU-KIMOI, K-RIDER-BIBARI, J-F-K7 and Rikiya-1205 are all Japanese cheaters on Red Dead Redemption. They all use modded Playstation 3 consoles and modified controllers. The number of Japanese cheaters on the PS3 continues to climb.
