What do other players say about it? Many players suggested that he should report his friends directly in the game or through the launcher (via reddit). However, it is generally important that he has evidence that they are cheating (via reddit).
The reddit user Shawn_NYC additionally expressed the idea that ContributionAsleep69 could have his friends stream the cheats to him via Discord. He could record that and send it to the developers Battlestate Games as evidence for his report and his friends’ cheating.
Another reddit user responded that he tried this trick with his brother and that the developer studio had not banned him for over a year.
