Can shooter dash forward or backward?

I would been playing Battle Bay since its first release on Android. I noticed every now and then I saw shooter dashing forward or backward to evade attack, which I thought that is not possible for shooter to do that as it lack yellow slot for nitro. Anyone else noticed that in the game?

 

And any ship can dash back and forth technically; some ships just do it better than other ships. Turbo is also a blue item and you don't need a yellow item to dash back and forth.

 

It's either they got turbo or well, You LAG

 

Actually I should clarify it, I meant to say shooter lack yellow slot for nitro. I thought it might be lag but there was no lag at the entire match plus giving the timing was too perfect to happen to dodge major attack. I just encountered that and I record video footage: look at time 0:28

 

It was lag nothing else.

 

I've seen movement hacks and reported them.

 

This definitely looks like a lag! Lag does not have to mean that you lag, it could also be the enemie's shooter who lags. Happenes every now and then, nothing to do with hacks.

 

You're describing lag / poor connextivity

 

yes sometime the other ships go all over the place, once it lagged so badly the enemy speeder was already at the other end of the area

 

It's not lag when they were fine up until the point they started getting shot at, then start repeatedly dashing to get out of the way, then they are fine, shot at=dash, etc. ... just saying in general not this guy's video here.

 

It's just coincidence dude. As a game dev, network engineer, and modder; I can say that it is VERY unlikely that this is the case.

For two reasons:
1 - Everything on this game is server based, so the game itself can't be modded or hacked.
2 - Their servers don't seem to accept any alternate self signed CA certificates, meaning you can't inject any code through the network either.

 

Let's just say dashing is far from the worst and most obvious thing I've (and others have) seen. Some kind of speculative how-to discussion isn't going to be good for anyone.

 

I'm sure it's not. But I can almost guarantee it all comes down to network and lerp issues

 

No, I'm gonna call bs on the innocent network theory, I have observed this multiple times tonight and in every instance it is when someone is in a dangerous situation. There's something going on, started a few days ago and seeing it more often. My main problem with you here is that you seem to be discouraging people from reporting it.

 

No, the main problem is that you are claiming it's a hack, while have no evidence of it not being just lag.

 

It's suspicious and it should be reported is the point. If it's simply highly coincidental lag then one report isn't going to do anything. But if the coincidences are clustering around certain people then they probably aren't coincidences.

 

it is probably still lag, i get that problem quite a while but i must admit this dashing back and forth only srted a few days ago, before the game just crashed when lots of lag

 

Idk. It never happened to me.

 

Just happened again- hit the shooter with a torp, one more hit he is dead, he jets halfway across the screen over by his remaining teammates. Replay confirms. No significant lag the rest of the match. Reported for cheating.
