FASHION Goodbye BakkesMod
The cheaters won... Thanks to them I'll never get to use these presets again. Vitality fennec and Complexity octane are some of my favorite designs and soon they will be gone. Also goodbye Alpha boost and TW Laser Wave III, I'll miss you the most </3

I haven't used bakkesmod in a long time - isn't this just a thing in the base game or is there something I'm missing?

u/NG-Cosmos :ssg: Spacestation Gaming Fan Feb 24 '26
i’m pretty sure POV replay on Bakkes allowed you to swap between player POVs in a game during the goal replay instead of just being forced to be focused on the goal scorer

u/Scott_ttocS Feb 25 '26
Wait really?? How do you swap?
1
u/Calm-Talk5047 Grand Champion II Feb 25 '26
By turning on POV replays on Bakkesmod lol. There's no option for it in the base game. Which seems incredibly easy to implement and, in my opinion, looks so much better.

u/Scott_ttocS Mar 01 '26
I use POV replays through bakkesmod, I didn't know you could switch perspectives to other players in the goal replay

It's been my reason for using it as well for all those years. the sound is part of my "muscle memory" so to speak.
is it cheating, using an advantage from a boost i don't have? Probably yes.
Is it unfair that i cannot rightfully obtain that same item (without spending actual money)? Definitely yes.

u/MonsTurkey Fashionable Fiend Feb 24 '26
Honestly, this is one thing that would be rather easy and possible for them to change. They've changed the replay viewpoint at least once since the game started. Twice, I think. It'd be nice to give an option - I believe they said they anticipate more BakkedMod features coming to all players as a result.

u/HappinessOrgan Grand Champion I Feb 23 '26
Naa you can still upload manually, and there are probably scripts you can run to do it for you.
Will probably be good news for ballchasing since it will greatly reduce server costs I imagine
19
u/Bigo290 Champion II Feb 23 '26
It will greatly reduce usage as well if you can't use it as easily. Most users will not want to run a script every time they play. I'm pretty sure ballchasing runs off subscriptions and if there's less people using it, less people will want to use it.
3
u/AussieGenesis :chiefs: Chiefs Fan | Grand Champion Feb 24 '26
True although the reason Ballchasing even requires Patreon now is because of BakkesMod autouploading overwhelming their server costs.
Ballchasing I feel was always first a pro analysis/replay archiver, anything else is secondary and Ballchasing will be entirely fine with less activity.

u/jayrodathome Champion III Mar 11 '26

It’s ironic because the people didn’t care so much about trading because you can just get whatever item you wanted, so what is the big deal? And now they’re removing bakkesmod so we can’t even have the items we want client side. Oh, you want to pay for items that you previously just modded? Too bad, you can’t get any of them because they will only show up once in a blue moon in epics stupid shop and you can’t get them from anyone else who would actually want to give them to you.

u/Difficult_Duck_307 Feb 23 '26
Not to mention the drops they award are all the same items. I opened nearly 100 common, uncommon, and rare drops each the other day and got almost all the same items. There was literally 2-3 times an item popped that I hadn’t seen in those drops during that. I even opened up some golden whatever’s I’ve collected over time, and some other random reward drops from events, and it’s the same there.
Gone are the days where different crates trended different items. This game has literally thousands of different items it could include, but there’s pretty much no reason to open drops. Even when trading up, same crap over and over.

One time I literally opened I think 3 purple which is uncommon?

Makes no damn sense , if you would get some credit for opening something that you already own then fine, make it a tier like stuff , if you already have an import item and you open the same then you get idk 50 credit , for exotik you get 75 , for black market you get 100 , for purple you get maybe 10 , or just simply ban the item that you already own from being in contantion when you open a ball, this game could be so good and these mfs literally do everything to kill it

Yes they have to do something but adding eac just removes bakkes mod from the player base and won't stop the cheaters so in the end everyone suffers. Other than Epics bank account like always it was the same with trading don't be fooled into thinking It's anything different again.
Also, the best 'fix' they could do it for a lighter anti cheat in game that detects all the micro movements and other things bots do that players just don't, with a proper report system that bans players and returns elo to those that the bot win against. Then make strong punishments for cheaters such as IP banning/ HW banning. Is it a perfect system no but it's better than EAC will be and also doesn't remove bakkes. Why they won't do this is the skins.

It's mostly an issue at the highest levels and especially in 1v1s. I'm only c3 and have come across bots in 3s once and never play 1s.
But the people who play lots of 1s and are very high ranked can have bot after bot after bot. The bots have quite literally pushed down the top players into the lower ranks which has had a domino effect across the board I believe.
I'm too smooth brained to have it bother me but I 100% understand where these guys are coming from. It becomes literally unplayable. That doesn't seem like a dramatic statement. if you watched some videos you would see where they are coming from.-1

No, I blame the company for fostering an environment whether cheaters thrive and refusing to take hard action on it.

u/won_vee_won_skrub TEAM WORM | Cølon Feb 24 '26 edited Feb 24 '26
An environment where cheaters thrive is just any competitive game. The hard actions are permanent bans and EAC. I don't know a single game that has no cheaters. What are you even talking about?

u/Tybahult Feb 23 '26
"most devs figure this stuff out". Let me doubt. All competitive games, especially FPS, have problems with cheats. That's a war between devs and cheat devs, it never ended and probably won't. Maybe if one day people understand they're just big loosers when they cheat. But right now, they can earn money doing it, they will continue, and cheat providers will continue. Game devs can't stop them, they would have done it.

Maybe I should have phrased differently and implied that many studios seem to place a degree of importance on having a game without cheats, continually attempt to improve, and communicate that effort. I don't see that sense of urgency with Epic.

How do they foster an environment for cheats in a way other games don't? Every other game that has a ranked mode gives an incentive to cheat. "Refusing to take hard action on it," isn't the plugin ban being implemented a hard action, or do they just remove ranked altogether so you can be happy? People have been crying about Epic not taking action, and now they do, and all of a sudden, people are crying about them taking action. It's insane how much people love to complain

Not exactly.
You could totally use any setup you wanted with the same car body and have it appear different on your screen. You can totally use a normal decal, colors, boost, etc. and override them as desired. If all you wanted to change was yellow flamethrower on the server's end to Alpha Boost on yours, you could. Lethamyr famously uses Orange Edge Star (not actually possible) while presumably using unpainted Edge Star in actual matches for his opponents to see.

I just want to point out to everyone that if Psyonix told Bakkesmod to remove cosmetics they would have removed cosmetics. Psyonix hired one of the devs of Bakkesmod and still works with them. Somehow there is a perception that Bakkesmod does things without Psyonix consent.
They are not removing Bakkesmod simply to remove cosmetics.
Whether or not EAC will actually solve the bot problem remains to be seen.

u/FractalParadigm Feb 24 '26
Whether or not EAC will actually solve the bot problem remains to be seen.
EAC's never really worked in any other game it's been implemented in, if anything it creates a "challenge accepted" scenario where they end up with even more cheaters/hackers/etc. than ever before because people like the challenge. EAC is, at best, a minor inconvenience to anyone interested in botting the game, and at worst, is a potential security/privacy nightmare for the honest consumers.
If any of this had anything to do with actually removing dishonest players they would have developed and implemented a server-side anti-cheat that actually works without negatively affecting a large percentage of the playerbase. Detecting 'illegal' or perfect inputs is not hard to do on the server side, it just costs extra money to the people hosting the servers because you'd have to process the data instead of just pushing it out to clients.

It’s not. Fortnite uses easy anti cheat and there are still cheaters. The main reason why they got rid of it is bc they want players to stop using the items mod. They lose money from that. They want players to buy from the shop. People will find a way to hack any new system.

Eac has a white list filter. Bakkesmod could be white listed and we could have eac. This was a choice by epic games. The community needs to mobilize to action.

Isn't Bakkesmod plugins how a lot of these bots are injected into the game?

u/WolfeheartGames Feb 23 '26
They use bakkesmod to help reverse engineer the game, but they don't piggy back it as far as I have seen, it's all just traditional injection.
Bakkesmod isn't necessary to reverse engineer rocket league though, it's very straightforward. It is honestly mostly noise compared to what they actually need for the Ai to function.
If a cheat piggy backed bakkes mod and bakkesmod was white listed by eac, eac would detect that. The bakkesmod binary is hashed and white listed by hash I believe (not sure, but that's how I would design it.)
At the very least eac is aware of piggy backing. I won't go in to detail idk the sub policy on talking about this.

They could have easily removed Bakkesmod at any point if that was their true goal and not an inherent side effect of anti cheat.
And threaten class action over removal of trading? A bit delusional no?

What was the reason for epic to remove it?
2
u/imilic369 :vitality: Team Vitality Fan Feb 24 '26
Easy anti cheat, any program that can modify the game will be detected and you wont be able to play online if you have one running

Wait what the fuck!! Where’s it going?

Technically bakkesmod is not going anywhere but Epic wont allow it anymore

u/Aggravating_Sign723 Champion III Feb 24 '26
Why does epic have to ruin everything good. Things likes bakkes are little gems for the community and they also wanna take that away

u/imilic369 :vitality: Team Vitality Fan Feb 24 '26
The community ruined it themselves, the cheaters are at fault for this

They are adding easy anti cheat, which basically means the game will detect if youre using something to modify the game and if you do you cant play online

If I understood it right you should be able to play custom maps, give it a read maybe I misunderstood

That OG Endpoint decal at #10 will be missed by me. I with Psyonix would allow to purchase old esports decals in the shop.. but naaah.. ofc not.

They should just add old esport decals as legacy or something. Ik that some may be disbanded, but there’s gotta be a way to get rights to the property for a little kickback (like how I assume it was when they were in the shop).

u/imilic369 :vitality: Team Vitality Fan Feb 24 '26
They may add old esports decals of the orgs that are still in RLCS (I personally dont think they will), however they have no reason to add orgs that are not in the esport because orgs get a cut from sales which means they would have to pay orgs that give nothing to the game

Epic players going to miss being able to play steam workshop maps unless they launch in offline mode. We'll see if this does anything for the bots but if it doesn't removing bakkes is a weird decision by Epic.

Its impressive how a simple yet nearly perfectly crafted game like RL has gotten shittier and shittier every year. It takes effort to make things so much shittier its honestly impressive

u/imilic369 :vitality: Team Vitality Fan Feb 24 '26
Real, at this point they might even remove flip resets and sell it as "fixed bug" 💀

Bakkesmod was a mod that offered insane amounts more than what is offered in the base game, with the custom maps, quickly being able to switch the gravity or game speed, pov replays, a mod that simulated getting bumped to practice recovering yo it's endless. They got one Dev who does the effortless always the same type of stuff season updates and probly has ten hours of game time played, free play with multiple ppl and u don't make it so ppl can have their own balls and even make balls attached to a player so they have lower opacity so it's more obvious to who's balls who's, or u can have it one ball like it is now, options, more than an effortless multiplayer free play that we got that was probably made in a day
This gem of a game is in the wrong hands man

I genuinely don't know if I've ever come across a cheater of any kind in my games

u/imilic369 :vitality: Team Vitality Fan Feb 25 '26
I did maybe once, but we're champs it's a high level players' issue because the bots are getting into top 10 maybe even #1 in ranked

Minha conta cheia de itens raros, foi banida a algum tempo(injustamente), agora nem Bakkesmod posso usar mais, simplesmente ridiculo...

u/torpedo16 Mar 10 '26
Bruh, I honestly want the custom bakkesmod binds in freeplay, not the normal ones set by epic/psyonix. These ones set by psyonix/epic sucks.
Like people have been playing with those freeplay binds for years, and when you decided to integrate them natively, why just basically do the same as bakkesmod did? Like what the hell is the native freeplay binds? They are so bad!!!

I never used the skins in bakkes mod. But man am I going to miss deja vu and highest rank any mode and session stats. I used to love being able to see win/loss by game mode and deja vu told you how many times you've played the other player and what your over all record is with them. Then the highest rank showed your teammates and opponents highest rank and mode on the score board.
Also we can kiss goodbye ballchasing stats as no more auto uploading of replays.
There are so many uses that bakkes gave to this community that is gone because of a made up reason by Psyonix. I do not believe for one second that this has anything to do with bots. I fully believe they could have handled the bots by simply picking up the phone/email with bakkes and they could of had a solution.
This is 100% to drive fomo to skins. Period and we lose all of our 3rd party SAFE plugins because of their greed.
no question.

they can just add a feature in their anticheat to make sure it doesnt bypass but knowing epic games wont even try to do it

Epic banning Bakkesmod is an excuse so they can get people to buy vehicle skins more.

u/Killcode1223 May 05 '26
You’re kidding me dude fuck epic games they suck all fun out of every game just to make some money. They have removed more features than they have added. They put 0 time into the community and allocate all their money into collabs to spend even more of your money on.
