What happened?

Firstly, I want to say how much I love this game. I've been playing since 2017 on PC and recently switched to PlayStation because I thought I'd finally be able to escape the cheaters. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

Today (05/08/2026, around 2:00 PM Sydney time), I was playing on an official Vanilla server when I came across a player running around with no arms. At first, I wasn't sure what I was seeing, but then I watched them mow down groups of zombies as if they were invincible. I quickly searched online and discovered this is a known cheating exploit.

Not long after, the same player approached me and killed me. I even managed to record them admitting they were cheating through voice chat, and I have their PSN username.

I'd like to know if there's a way to report players like this and have them banned. It's incredibly frustrating to see cheating on official servers, especially after moving from PC hoping for a fair experience.

Please look into this issue and do what you can to prevent exploits like this. It really takes away from an otherwise amazing game.

Reproduction steps

I recorded the moment and wrote down his PSN username. I’ve posted videos of the incident and posted their PSN account.

Expected result

I would appreciate a response confirming that this issue is being investigated and that appropriate action will be taken. Whether that's fixing the exploit, banning the player involved, or both, I'd like to know that something is being done.

I've invested countless hours into this character, only to lose everything because of someone who was clearly cheating. That's incredibly disappointing and unfair. I hope this report is taken seriously so other players don't have to experience the same thing.

    It's called GODMODE, dude. They will only only say they "know about the issue" and that it has existed since the 1.28 update release. You will be rejected on this ticket because it is a "known issues by the devs." They are too busy promoting their game on Facebook, concentrating only on Badlands only, and the Dayz community manager is not responding to issues about "when is GODMODE gonna be fix"; instead of answring people, they will promote their game only. Indeed, there will be GOD mode in Badlands new dlc. So tell your friends.

    What a absolutel joke. Its bad enough you can't report players but you can't even report players to PSN. If enough players got upset with this surely the devs would have to do something

    Since 1.28, there been godmode problems for more than a year. They don't prioritize fixing God mode and no clip. Promoting their game and concentrating only on the Badlands map is their top priorities only not the exploits. The Dayz community manager won't even respond to their Facebook community. I prolly will get ban for speaking the truth.

    There's enough big content creators that could speak up about this!

    They have, but the developers don't want to hear it. Will the big content creators like Wobo and fresh spawns discuss what's going on with officials for exploits like god mode and no clip and skywalking and duping? No! they won't since Dayz only wants to hear good things about the game, not the bad stuff, so they can continue to sell it and make money, bro. If they do, they risk losing their reputation the big creators from dayz bro..

    Yes, for more than a year. You stated that "it's a known issue and being worked on around that time last year when you said that last year and it's STILL in the game" around the 1.28 release. You guys have plenty of time, so don't make excuses. I say this out of consideration for the DayZ community people that is deeply irritated by the ongoing problem.

    There have been fixes released for all sorts of exploits including this one. Unfortunately players found new ways to exploit these glitches and we have to ensure the fixes will not affect the game in any negative way while also maintaining the stability of the game.

    Can we at least see some consequences for players that use these cheats and exploits. What better way to stop these players than to banned their accounts. The evidence is there for you.

    @l909 i'll answer for you redfrog_191

    The PR brand manager and communityDayz manager previously claimed during their live stream that they do not ban players on officials for consoles.They would rather only fix the exploits.

    In other words, gamers are essentially free to cheat without being punished on officials. When people are reported on gamertags and the devs have evidence of such things in their admin logs on officials, there are no repercussions period.

    If you even google AI or use chat gpt and ask it "will dayz ban officals consoles players for using exploits and the answer is NO. They rather fix the exploits only. There no banning on consoles officials period.
