Let me start by saying that we don't condone cheating. That said, we don't care if you cheat in singleplayer. But when you cheat for the leaderboard or multiplayer then it hurts other players.
If you want to cheat in Element TD 2 and not get banned please keep the below in mind.
- Campaign is only singleplayer so you can do whatever you want.
- Survival you can exit the match anytime before you die. Leaderboard submission happens upon death.
- Alternatively, you can turn on God Mode in Survival.
- Mega Survival is the same as Survival for this.
- Ranked, FFA, Co-op, Teams, and War are all multiplayer and completely off-limits. Do not play these.
We added an option in Axon TD to disable all leaderboard submissions based on player feedback. It has worked out well so we're going to add this to Element TD 2 in 1.9.5. That way you can play Survival without any concern.
We have a three strike policy. First time cheat entries appear on the leaderboard we simply delete them. Second time cheat entries appear we ban the player. The player can appeal either on Discord or Steam Forums to get a second chance.
If you're intending to cheat singleplayer only and accidentally get an entry on the leaderboard, please reach out to us on either Discord or Steam Forums. We're not looking to ban people for accidents. We're looking to ban people trying to cheat others.
For the other side of players, those who worry about cheating in multiplayer, we'll have something in 1.9.5 for you too. We're trying some anti-cheat with Axon TD and what ends up working we'll add to Element TD 2.
