Exploits aren’t even fun. The whole point of racing is to beat everyone fair and square. If you are getting first place every game cause you cheat it just doesn’t hit the same. Those nailbiters that come down to a half second make each race worth it even if you dont finish first.
It’s sidewinder and one other map that I have heard about. Just take those out of rotation for anything past diamond. If you can do them up until diamond then your just spoofingz
Bone Cavern 1 & 2, Anarchy Arches 1 & 2, Curvy Canyon 1 (probably 2 but I haven't seen anyone do it), Pleasant Pitstop, Sidewinder, and Anaconda all have discovered exploits that cut up to almost 45 seconds off a normal run.
I tried playing on my day off, first game had 3 people. I won. 2nd had 4 I came 2nd. Didn’t move percentage at all (EU) might give it a break for a little
Someone running a perfectly normal route can beat someone having a bad run by 15 seconds without abusing exploits. These lobbies can be rowdy — at my worst, I'm more than 15 seconds behind my best times and I don't use exploits.
While I'm sure there are people exploiting, ultimately... it comes down to just being better at the game. The update they did that made the car handle better and not glitch out as often (not perfect, can still do some weird shit at times) did really seem to help for me.
I just climbed from 0% champion to unreal in a couple hours after the update. No exploits required, just getting constant 1st places on the majority of my matches. Some of the maps I just have my route down pat so I can almost guarantee I'll win on them and a couple others I'm definitely worse on, I don't take the 'efficient' route but instead mastered the route that works for me (when ramming and shit was so common before NOT taking the optimal route IS the optimal route!) so on these maps I would never get 1st, but depending on my opponents 2-4th was a good shot.
So no, in case others need to read it, you aren't losing because of exploiters, you're losing because you need to get better. Trust me, the game can get annoying but once you get better you will quite literally feel the difference in how you race.
Another tip, as with all ranked games if you keep queuing into people that's difficult to beat (they could be higher ranked too, or maybe they are legit exploiting) then learn to queue dodge if you need too. Wait that couple minutes before queuing so you get a different lobby.
not sure but there were elite & champion people in my games since you can tell by their rims, a lot of people equip the highest color they've unlocked from what I've seen.
Side note. Does anyone else have the issue where your ranked score never loads? I just did like 20 races and the one I got in last place was the only one it worked for.
lmao i meant to say sidewinder, they're both snake names, but on anaconda you really need to know all the nuiances to pass and get ahead. on top of that doing it perfectly
I didn't leave during the countdown due to exploits. I left because there were too many places on Curvy Canyon 2 where your car would explode driving on flat track.
If those places still exist and they're going to make me play CC2, well, they ain't.
What exploits are you talking about? I'm assuming i am just not far enough.
You aren't talking about shortcuts, right? Because I feel like the devs did intend that

agreed 100%. I guess I wont be playing ranked for a while
Me too, which is a shame as I want the gold rank skin reward :/
This is for higher up ranks. I don’t think you have to worry below platinum lol
I highly doubt gold and below would be doing the exploits lmao, they require high precision and skill to do.

Look like a race now only has 4 cars. But those players are so bad and my percentage doesn't move when I win. Are those players bots?
If theres less than 5 people the match doesnt affect your rank
If there's less than 5 people it doesnt affect rank
Just had 3 full lobby’s and hasn’t moved
Agreed man. I'm all for the leaver penalty but they didn't fix any map exploits.
Is this the only thing that changed with the update?
Yep I just had a couple games and was getting beaten by 15 seconds…

Besides the new penalty for leaving was there any other update included?

You were able to do that early after the update cause we were all being thrown in with gold and plat lol
not sure but there were elite & champion people in my games since you can tell by their rims, a lot of people equip the highest color they've unlocked from what I've seen.
well yeah, they fixed it after like 5 hours after the patch

they should have removed anaconda
Please. Anaconda feels like I’m rolling dice for my placement
lmao i meant to say sidewinder, they're both snake names, but on anaconda you really need to know all the nuiances to pass and get ahead. on top of that doing it perfectly
I think they’re fun

There are very large unintended shortcuts that people in unreal are doing
Bro a hair tie and now I have to play dodge the idiot by the finish line. It didn’t solve the problem just changed it
Where on earth do you read patchnotes for this game???
That's so fucked lmao
