Xbox – How do people cheat in Dark Souls 2 on the 360

dark-souls-2xbox-360

I asked this question earlier and the answers informed me of cheating on the 360!

I was doing some PVP in the Luna Belltower last night and I was completely baffled. Every time I hit this person, I lost a quarter of my health to what looked like lightning. I got a backstab, and died from it.

This is kind of a big question, so I'll break it up into parts.

  1. What benefits can this confer to the cheater? This would be useful to know for the next part.

  2. How can a legitimate player counter this? Is it possible to defeat these people, or is it just better to try and get as close to a bonfire as possible to minimize losses?

Thanks!

Cheaters can be handled by leaving That's all you can do, save your game and leave

Report them on Xbox, file a complaint and give them bad player rep File a complaint - Xbox actually have to look into these but the user will have to have several complaints for action to be taken(by different users for the same reason.)

Bad player rep - Starts on their Xbox profile decrease and they get connected to other players who have rep like they do, this also stops them finding you in matchmaking. (This apply's globally, not just to the Dark Souls 2.)

Try not let them get to you that's the main thing, if you get annoyed then the modifier has done what he wanted to do.

Benefit to the modifier is, he gets to have power over you, because basically you are powerless to them, this is what drives them.
