FAQ

#Hydra AC

#Will Hydra ban my players by mistake?

Hydra's default policy only bans what a cheat alone can produce. Everything heuristic goes to your staff to review, and Hydra never bans on what a player's own game reports by itself. Start in shadow mode for a day or two and you will see exactly what it would have done.

#Does it slow my server down?

No. Hydra's checks are spread out over time and most run on data your server already has. Live screens and clips cost nothing until a staff member asks for one.

#What happens if Hydra Hub goes down?

Your server keeps enforcing the bans and settings it has, queues what happened, and catches up when the hub is back. It can run on its last code for up to 72 hours.

#Can I use it with my framework?

Yes: ESX, Qbox, QBCore and standalone servers. Hydra finds your framework by itself.

#What do players see?

Nothing, unless a detection acts on them. Hydra records short clips and screenshots when a detection asks for evidence, so tell your players your server uses an anti-cheat with screen capture.

#Hydra Venom

#Will Hydra Venom get me banned from other games?

No. Venom only looks. It never injects into another program, hooks anything, reads another program's memory or loads a driver, so Vanguard, Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye and FACEIT have nothing to react to. It runs once and does not stay installed.

#What does Venom read on my PC?

The programs running and recently run, the names of files in Downloads, Recent and the Recycle Bin, drivers, Windows Defender and security settings, the hosts file, recently visited website names, your FiveM and GTA V folders, the signed-in Windows account and when Windows was installed, and whether logs were cleared. It never reads file contents, passwords, messages or browser history. Full list: What Venom reads.

#Do I need Hydra AC to use Venom?

No. Venom works on its own. Add your server on Hydra Hub for your team and checks; you never have to install the resource.

#Does the player see the result?

No. The player is told the report was sent, never what was found. Your staff decide.
