Play it on PC, has less cheaters.

fun fact, whenever a game has crossplay - and has a big enough player base that i can do this, i will turn it off 100% of the time purely because I have experienced sooo many cheaters from the pc side of the crossplay.

a very common complaint about crossplay over on the consoles side of thing is "let us do just-console crossplay"

it is what it is, but it's also funny to see someone say what you said there. One of the great things about pc gaming is the freedom you have to do what you want, which unfortunately makes it 1000000x easier to cheat.

I don't think cross play for competitive is worthwhile because either PC players have an advantage in the form of mouse aim, or console players have a wagon-dick-sized advantage in the form of aim assist. Competitive cross play only makes sense if you have input based match making.

What's frustrating for me is when the PC side cripples mixed-input entirely even though I just want mouse-look, gyro aim, and analog movement from my controller without any aim assist. (Looking at you, Destiny 2 and Halo.)

I'm on PC but yeah as far as I know Xbox One and Series still have their security fully in tact so there is no way to run cheats on your console.

This is one of the few points you gotta give to consoles even as a PC player!
