I had the first experience with this today. He/she came in at wave 45 and destroyed everything. I quickly spent all the energy I could, but it was too late. He upgraded everything, forged weapons, and moved the fabricator across the map. He died doing this and we tried to wait him out, but to no avail. Is there a place to post these names on another social media platform? The guy blocked me so I couldn’t kick him. It’s a new account with a 200 gamer score. His name ended in a string of numbers and started with the letter “E”. I don’t believe I can say much more than that. I know this is an old thread, and if there are others let me know.

I ran into a Jack on All Fathers who took the ammo boxes and put them on top of cover where nobody could ever reach them, then moved stuff, took GL’s from locker and dropped them across map so they disappeared, etc.
I quit after a few rounds shaking my head.
These peeps are out there hyper…they really are🤣
I’ve outlined an idea here that would circumvent(go around) this issue… but uncertain on the possibility of its implementation.

I know this troll also hosts dummy lobbies !!
Basically hosts and just does absolutely nothing just to waste other people’s time.
Good Idea mate, I think that is a sufficient workaround.
I wonder how badly these people’s lives must be going to find enjoyment in ruining other people’s games. What could there possibly be about just completely messing others up in a video game to find a positive feeling in?

Mod edit: Calling out by Gamertag and swearing isn’t allowed on here,
Hey Benzo. Same thing happened to me. Same Kat joined wave 40 bought a forge straight away and upgraded all fences to lvl 4 and stared melting weapons. I paused the game to kick him but his name wasn’t showing up, was about to stop the game but decided to wait until the end of the wave. Glad I did cos as soon as the wave ended his name showed up on the kick menu. I kicked and blocked and we ended up finishing the game. The best solution for this is to make sure that you don’t deposit into the fab but have all your team give the engineer energy directly,
It’s a trauma response.
Someone did it to them, or something similar, so they’re passing on the trauma.
Pretty well-studied phenomenon and what’s wrong with 95% of people these days. Parents traumatizing kids who grow up to be parents who traumatize their kids who grow up to…

How do you kick mid game? Cant seem to find the option anywhere
Had this happen to myself last night on master. All was going well built a decent base and hade lockers for evryone then comes wave 36. I walk away from my locker and come back to find jack decided to forge every weapon on the lockers. Then moves the lockers and the forge outside the base which were soon destroyed and moved all the fences. Had no choice to leave the game cause the host could not kick jack. Took note of the name and later on I noticed the same name appear in another lobbie I joined so told the host and left cause its all that can be done.

If someone has a gamer score of 200, they’re a troll. You get achievements for turning on the game. If your score is that low it’s a new account. It’s a new account because your a troll/hacker and have been banned before.

I’ve heard that by blocking the host, you won’t appear in host’s Social menu. That’s probably why MAV3R1C doesn’t see him.
It’s a really dumb idea. If you jump in a room and block the host you should be kicked from the game automatically.

i know of him to he comes in a match in progress sabotages the game and you can not kick him
GT: evol-----,2086-- (not saying his full tag)

I want to point out that reporting/recording these acts is not going to be productive.
They do not ban for greifing. These people are entirely within their right to play this way, and it is everyone’s individual responsibility to employ the tools (Which it is the responsibility of the devs to provide) at their disposal to avoid them.
I think I know of whom you speak. We can refer to him as “He who shall not be named”

Same guy from December with different name, he/she will change it again when banned then repeat.
Maybe best option is to not ban that account better the devil you know and all that!!!
So its been a while but I got a serious griefer problem. I am in the double digits of games ruined by this player and no matter what the name doesnt appear so I cant kick them. How is their name not showing up at all? Someone said it was because they blocked the host but I took this method out for a test run with friends and complete strangers and still my name showed up. Blocking doesnt work although I think if I have a player blocked they should not be allowed to join my lobbies. Mostly just want to know want to know how they remain invisible. Anyone actually know how to do this?
