Why are Cheats in Tarkov more expensive?

[1Uniform]

Hi, new here and first real post,

I personally can afford it and dont really mind if it works well and is kinda safe, but I am curious. Why are tarkov cheats as expensive as they are? What makes them harder to make?

Anyway, thanks for making them.

• Active anti cheat that actually detects cheats from time to time
• Expensive game so that a ban hurts much more than lets say if you get banned in Apex
• The cheat market is like it is and people are ready to pay for it

To be fair we dont see those somewhat crazy prices anymore like many providers selling their cheats for 150€ or more per month. Most settled in the 70-100€ per month range which is fairly priced for BattlEye.

2020 wants to laugh at you if you think cheats now are expensive.... $40-$50 month keys today.... we had week keys back then cost double... we have lifetime keys today cost as much as month keys back then... back then, day keys were $15-$20... and not just eft.... every game... cod zombie tools for $35-$40 daily... yes... there are still some cheats for like $120-$160 a month but its rare.... only like 2 cheats max (public) do that...

tldr; 2020 was way higher, 2024 its cheap as dirt!

When you buy a cheat youre paying the salaries of the dev(s) that made it. Making a cheat for tarkov takes longer than cs for example, hence the higher price tag
With the expertise you need to make a cheat you can get a good paying job

There is also price and demand, gamertools said it already but the prices change over time. When I started cheating around 2 years ago finding a cheat for 80/Month was a heck of a deal

"expertise"

It may look like battleye is doing stuff, but it isn't much more then they usually do. Battleye is AFK, not doing anything innovative anymore. They are 3 - 4 years behind technology-wise compared to EAC. This is the reason why the price is lower, the barrier to entry is way lower then before. There is also a lot more people attempting to make cheats nowadays compared to 3 - 4 years ago. Now someone new joins the tarkov p2c market scene and thinks "Huh i will sell my cheat for 10$ lower then everyone else and get more customers", because it is too easy. Tarkov cheats sell for more then cheats for other battleye games do, so it also attracts a lot of cash grabs

Battleye does nothing to protect their code from being analyzed, due to a old thing they tried to use called shellcode. This shellcode is not virtualized and can be analyzed quickly, so the second we get hit we can just review the latest shellcode and bypass their ghetto ass detections for us

if(filesystem.DoesExist("gaypron.cfg"))
ban();

BattlEye is the gold standard of anti-cheat services because:

We keep constant personal contact with you, the developer, ensuring that you are always up-to-date on what’s going on behind the scenes. We want to know what you think and how we can additionally help you in making your games more secure. Trust is paramount in everything we do.
Above all, the happiness of your players is our measurement for success. We believe that an anti-cheat should straightfowardly follow its mission and do what it’s meant to do without bothering the player."
