How to Report Cheaters in Delta Force Officially

Use the in-game report button and platform tools to flag cheaters, then set expectations about follow-up.

Reporting a cheater only works if the report reaches the developer through an official channel. Every platform the game ships on has at least one, and using them is the entire play — there is no faster back door, and services that promise one are running a scam. This page covers where to report on each platform and what actually happens afterward.

The in-game report button

The primary channel on all platforms is the in-game report flow:

  1. During or after a match, open the scoreboard or the player’s profile.
  2. Select the report option and pick the category that matches the behavior — the category list can change between updates, so pick the closest match rather than waiting for a perfect one.
  3. Submit. The match data attached to your report is what makes it actionable.

If the in-match screen is unreliable for you, report after the match ends — the flow persists either way.

Per-platform channels

MobileIn-game reportSame flow as PC

The console platform reports matter: they let Sony and Microsoft act on the account itself, which the developer cannot reach directly. If a player is also breaking platform rules, file both.

What happens after you report

Set expectations here, because the gap between “reported” and “banned” is where most players get frustrated.

  • Your report enters a review queue alongside every other report. There is no public processing time, and no timeline can be promised.
  • The security team acts in batches and publishes outcomes through official security announcements — the Steam news page and the official site are where anti-cheat waves are announced.
  • You will usually not receive an individual confirmation that a player was punished. Silence is not evidence the report was ignored.
  • Duplicate reports of the same player do not speed anything up and make the queue harder to read. One report per incident is enough.
  • The strongest reports include the category and the match. “Wallhacking in match X” beats a report with no context.

Report moves that put your own account at risk

Do not buy “report services” that claim to get a rival banned for money — those are either scams or coordinated false reporting, and participating puts your own account at risk. Do not install tools advertised as anti-cheat or hardware-ID utilities; the spoofer scam page explains why those end in bans. Do not name suspects publicly in place of reporting them.

If you end up on the other side of an enforcement action and believe it was a mistake, the official appeal guide is the only legitimate route. Reports tied to real-money trading enter the same queue — the RMT risk page explains what the security team does with those.
