The past several months have brought in some seemingly outrageous robots and abilities that seem so familiar. One of the latest being the erratic and somewhat comical way the Nether robot moves about in ability. A majority of what hackers have used in gameplay over the past years has been adopted by Pixonic. They are letting the hackers generate the new stuff and in turn Pixonic is customizing it to make it their own. As a result, it will be almost impossible to detect who is using a cheat/hack and what is a “feature” of the new gear.

That's exactly what I thought.

I think it's more along the lines of what they put in the game as toys for hackers to play with. It's easy to see an Arthur as a hacker because it cant move that way. When the Rook is eventually hacked, they will spam it's ability. This will make it constantly replace and have new shields, and infinite health. The launch ability is slower to repeat because it's a secondary activation ability; it has 2 parts. Of course some of the better hackers have been able to change parts of an ability by spamming it fast enough to override some points. for instance, an Ares infinitely firing it's retribution and having a permanent shield, while firing weapons way too fast. For Rook, this will be spamming the ability, so although it's constantly launching itself, it's also locking itself in flight and flying up. This will glue it to the top of the map, and it will move in small dashes (because their spamming too fast for it to travel).
A hacked Nether would have permanent dashes; it would get stuck because of the dash slowdown physics if the ability is spammed.
Honestly the scariest things to hack may still be the Shell and Arthur, but the rook may be given it's fair share of tries.
Honorable mention goes to the Murometz and Nodens for being able to instantly kill you through walls with their emp and suppressions.

It's farcical.
Remember when phase shift was first invented by the scientists at the pixonic lab? Well apparently you phase off to a different realm or some such but somehow the angler can damage anything around it whilst off in another realm.
The new "meat tenderizer" titan can miraculously re-generate physical shields.... Yeah right.
The nether looks like something from a cartoon the way it zips backwards before going forwards.
Blended in with all the subtle hackers, it's such a shame the game is a meme of itself.

It is a fair point. Every time I see a Nether doing is thing, from across the map when you can't fully see it, I always assume it is some hacker.
The line between Magic, Hackers, Special Edition Bugs (Aether, Angler and Imugi) and straight OP craziness has certainly become blurry.

There's also a new bug with the new Spike weapons that cause you to crash upon the use of your ability. I have confirmed this with Scorpion.
