The game Atlas is currently struggling with a group called “Black Butterfly.” Members of this group use many cheats to gain advantages in the game. Some actions have now been captured on Twitch.
What happened? It has been known for some time that Atlas has issues with cheats. The developers are currently working on implementing anti-cheat programs into the game.
However, members of the Black Butterfly group are absurdly escalating the situation and using increasingly crazy cheats to gain advantages in the game.
How do the cheats manifest? Currently, some of the craziest cheats from the group include spawning animals and planes to defend their ships.
One action, where whales were called for help, could be seen live in a stream by BurkeBlack. In the midst of a sea battle, the summoned reinforcement in the form of animals provided cover and confused the attackers.
BurkeBlack also witnessed planes being used for defense. When he approached a member of the Black Butterfly, it fell from the sky and nearly hit his ship.
These experiences are not isolated incidents. The Reddit for Atlas is currently flooded with reports about the cheaters. Players are demanding harsh penalties for members of the group.
What else is attributed to Black Butterfly? Yesterday, there was a server rollback in North America. The cause was the takeover of a Steam account. The account belonged to an admin of the pirate MMO.
It is suspected that the group of cheaters is also behind this takeover. Furthermore, it is speculated on Reddit that at least one more admin from Atlas is part of the group.
How are the developers reacting? The response to the denunciation of Black Butterfly was different than players expected.
Instead of taking action against the group, all possible combinations of terms related to the group were blocked on the official Twitch channel. On Reddit, users published a screenshot of this.
Atlas is still played a lot despite the criticism: The ratings on Steam and the threads on Reddit give the impression that the game is in a catastrophic state.
But not only our author Sascha enjoys Atlas. Overall, player numbers and playtimes are extremely good. Up to 30,000 players log in simultaneously at peak times. This places the game in the top 20 of the Steam charts.
But bugs also plague players in Atlas:
