And it looks like a hack is back.

    In the right situation, it's actually possible for the sniper to get juice in a single shot.

    Such as? The money hack is presumably a lifetime earning "hack". I put hack in quotes because it's just script kiddies running someone else's scripts to modify data in their profile. It's tragic that we didn't do enough pre-launch to prevent that from occurring but at the end of the day it's relatively minor if there are more serious hacks going on. However until someone can provide specifics I don't think those serious hacks exist.

    But if they do then please please let me know :)

    I don't think that would work. I could just wait 60 seconds after I bought the Juice to use it so I can go buy it again.

    I know for a fact that players have figured out a way to stay juiced continuously, but I lack the equipment to record it and I don't know how its happening.

    I watched a tank run into our base juiced and get frozen by my freeze trap. After he got out, he ran into another one of my freeze traps. During the second freezing, his juice ran out. His armor immediately started glowing like he was ready to juice again. As I lined up the headshot, he juiced again.

    There is not enough time during one freeze trap for ANY pro to earn enough juice to juice again right after juicing. He was doing this the WHOLE game and in multiple games.

    There is definitely a hack or a glitch or a bug or something. Sorry I don't have video evidence to prove this, but I remember the player's name, if that would help.

    I played a match today where a Support was Juice Chaining a minute or two into the game. Now I don't know if he was buying the juice or earning it. Same guy 4 Juices in a row. He also had a level 2 Firebase out. Pointed that out to show that he did use some of his money for an upgrade/s.

    Supports can earn Juice once a minute if played correctly. This does not include the time spent Juiced so figure that they can get Juice once every 90 seconds with the first one coming around 14:00 on the game clock.

    its a good reason to give supports less juice for healing or no juice for overhealing.

    i killed twenty bots with a death blossom as a tank, i got 1/3 juice. really?

    a support overheals 7 bots, juice in 50 seconds of safe work. why buy it when its free and easy. well i think supports juicing should go "free and easy down the road"

    No juice for overhealing. Best solution I have seen yet.

    Yeah, it seems simple enough. I'd only be worried that it might be too much but I'm sure the HH Gun's juice rate could be increased slightly to compensate since it would have no effect from overhealing.

    Only problem I see with "no juice for overhealing" is that it'll give Supports in Blitz a very difficult time to get Juice without having to buy it. Reduced Juice gain with overhealing sure, but I don't think it should be outright eliminated.

    Two things:
    1) You can still gain juice from healing, just not overhealing.
    2) You can still gain juice from damage dealt by the Hurt Gun.

    I think that if you slightly increased the juice gain rate of the HH Gun it would allow these two methods of gaining juice to prevent a Support from simply hiding in their base overhealing everything and then showing up Juiced with little to no effort. It would also encourage a Support to be more active, especially by using the Hurt Gun (or Shotgun) more often.

    Again, I do not think that simply removing the ability to gain juice from overhealing would be balanced in the least. I think that if removed the normal gain rate from healing base health and damage dealt would need to be increased. Keep in mind that the Support has one of the least effective juices in the game so we only want to balance their method of gaining juice not stop them from ever getting it.

    Well, I'm no expert on modding or programming by any means but I do know how to do a money hack at the very least. To my understanding, due to how it's done there's really next to nothing that can stop it. The same way people can hack the amount of money they have in the game, they can do a lot of other things too I guess. I'd imagine there would be limits to what could be done to prevent huge amounts of instability. I can think of one other thing that sounds like it wouldn't be much trouble to mod but I'd rather not give anyone any bright ideas to try out :p
    If it'd be any use, I could always send a PM detailing how people are hacking their money but I'll need to actually take a look myself before I know what else can be hacked. Also...I lack the patience for doing this kind of modding. Too much time put in for too little payoff...I'd rather be playing the game instead :) I'd also assume that at least someone on the programming staff would know this already since it's not exactly rocket science, but whatever lol.
