infoSECTION 12: CHEATING, MODS & GAME EXPLOITS

ImpulseRP maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward cheating, unauthorized modifications, or exploiting mechanics for personal gain. These actions disrupt immersion, harm community trust, and compromise fair play. Violations in this category are considered among the most severe and will result in immediate and significant penalties.


12.1 – UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS & CLIENT INJECTIONS

Tier 7 Violation (Permanent Ban – Non-Appealable) Any external software, cheat menu, or injected code designed to alter gameplay or provide unfair advantages is forbidden. Examples include but are not limited to:

  • Injecting custom Lua scripts or mod menus

  • Activating god mode, infinite ammo, or teleport cheats

  • Manipulating game files to bypass standard mechanics


12.2 – ABUSE OF GAME ANIMATIONS OR MECHANICS

Tier 3 Violation (Escalates for repeat offenses) Exploiting animations or system quirks to gain an edge or avoid consequences is prohibited. This covers scenarios such as:

  • Using “pass out” or similar emotes to cancel taser effects or bypass restraints

  • Exploiting physics to evade injury during combat or crashes

  • Abusing animation loops to gain speed or movement advantages


12.3 – STAFF VERIFICATION CHECKS

Tier 7 Violation (Permanent Ban – Non-Appealable) If staff have reason to believe you are using cheats or exploits, you may be asked to undergo a verification check.

  • You must join the designated staff channel within 120 seconds of the request.

  • Refusal or delay is treated as confirmation of wrongdoing and results in immediate removal from the community.


12.4 – PROHIBITED EXPLOIT BEHAVIORS

Tier 7 Violation (Permanent Ban – Non-Appealable) The following actions are explicitly banned and will result in permanent removal if confirmed:

  • Tracking IP addresses or attempting to collect player data

  • Running unauthorized client modifications or scripts

  • Deliberately interfering with server functions or stability


12.5 – NON-COOPERATION DURING INVESTIGATIONS

Escalating Penalties Players who withhold information, provide false statements, or obstruct staff during an exploit investigation face escalating consequences:

  • First Offense: Tier 1 (Documented Warning)

  • Second Offense: Tier 4 (7-Day Ban)

  • Third Offense: Tier 5 (14-Day Ban)


12.6 – POSSESSION OR CONCEALMENT OF ILLEGITIMATE ITEMS

Tier 4 to Tier 6 Violation (Severity-Based) Possessing, stashing, or attempting to profit from hacked or altered items — even if obtained indirectly — is forbidden.

  • Players must immediately report suspicious items or currency to staff.

  • Concealment or intentional use will result in character wipes and potential permanent bans.
