There are many new players who have been asking about the new term "cheat" on our forum, but this word doesn't exist in our dictionary. In fact, it's a wrong translation from Chinese to English. Our original meaning of cheat is unfairness and injustice. Like some cheater may use scripts or macro to gain advantage in some games. Some of these terms were used by many Redditors on /r/warrobots before we noticed them and explained that they're wrong usage. The correct way to call out these type of things should be "mod".
A mod is an abbre for modification which means you will modify some item (e.g. weapons) to be more powerful than it should be in the game, or an addition that doesn't exist in the original version of the game. War Robots uses Lua script as its core language, so our mods are basically cheats for this game which you can use to modify your weapons and other stuffs (e.g. Stubs or Skins).
