== Cheating & Exploits == '''Hacker''' * A player who exploits vulnerabilities within the game or uses client modifications, usually to get an advantage over other players. Generally not applied to people taking advantage of game glitches. '''Combat Logging''' * When a player, in the midst of combat, logs out in order to avoid being killed and lose all their gear. Players now remain on the server for a short amount of time after logging off or closing the game executable to help negate this. '''Ghosting''' * The act of spotting another player and proceeding to switch to a different server which is on the same Hive to get a tactical advantage, rejoining the original server and killing them. Official servers will now extend the respawn timer and place survivors in a random location when attempting to switch servers to combat this. '''Loot Cycling''' * The Process of removing all the loot in a building or area: causing new loot to respawn. The game now has measures in place to reduce/prevent this method of finding loot easily. '''Server Hopping''' * The act of switching from server to server to gather loot rather than scanning multiple places on the same server. Official servers will now extend the respawn timer and place survivors in a random location when attempting to switch servers to combat this. '''Stream Sniping''' * The act of watching a player livestreaming the game to gain "meta" information on their whereabouts and plans, to either appear on the stream or kill the streamer's character. This is generally banned by major streaming services and is highly looked down upon by the community.
