When zJanny released the treasure chest spawner into a hacker's forum, it came with the message 'IDK if detected or not,' meaning they weren't sure if using the cheat would be detected by Rockstar's anti-cheat software and lead to an account suspension.Īround February 15, hackers from the same forum in which zJanny released the cheat started to report that they had been banned for using zJanny's mod menu, specifically for using a treasure chest spawning function. Mod menus allow players to use cheats inside Red Dead Online, such as god mode, teleportation, and spawning objects - and breach the game's terms of service. The treasure chest spawner was released on Januas an update to a mod menu created by an Austrian hacker called zJanny.
Unfortunately, it seems it's not just hackers that are getting caught out, as even players who have never used a cheat in Red Dead Online are being suspended if they interact with these treasure chests. Original story: Red Dead Online players are being suspended and, in some cases, permanently banned after opening treasure chests spawned into the game by hackers.
