Absolute best way to avoid cheaters is playing games with private servers and community moderators, infinitely better in every way except it’s not always as easy as “load game and click matchmake”. Arma is my favorite, it’s even become my go to game for playing weird stuff like Halo and Star Wars content.

Tons of older stuff being kept alive purely by dedicated communities, like Battlefield 2/Project Reality, BFBC2/Venice, Titanfall 1/R1, Titanfall 2/Northstar, Battlefront 2 og/legacy mod, Battlefront 2 EA via Kyber, several old CoD projects including combining games.

Also community and teamwork oriented games like Bellum, Squad, Glory to the Heroes, Gray Zone Warfare.

Virtual Reality is really fun for shooters tbh, extremely rare to see actual cheating there but it’s a lot to get into at first.

Otherwise I feel like I’ve rarely if ever seen cheaters on Holdfast, Overwatch, Bodycam, Straftat.
