Rockstar is looking to control cheaters in Red Dead Redemption through a title update due out next month. This update includes countermeasures to hacking, and comes with a firm fist from Rockstar to ban those suspected of ill deeds in online play.
Rockstar says, “We are actively working on new features to counter against the isolated incidents of abuse that go on,” during online games.
This update will also include anti-grief relief with new features in Free Roam. If you are getting bullied repeatedly in Free Roam, you’ll be given the option to flee by transporting and respawning in a region of the map of your choosing. The bullies themselves will face a new challenge, says Rockstar: when a player gets a six kill streak in Free Roam, they will become “Most Wanted.” Other players will get the picture that this is a Most Wanted gunslinger, and NPC law enforcement will be sent in to help out.
