Exploiting

Gaining an unfair advantage through cheats, bugs, or unapproved modifications is prohibited. The sections below explain each case and its consequences.

Cheating or modding

Using third-party cheats is strictly prohibited. It leads to permanent removal from Hydrate with no chance to appeal.

Bug abuse and exploiting

If you discover a bug that could be abused to gain an advantage, report it to staff via the general-support ticket category in our Support Discord.

You will be permanently banned if you:

• Fail to report a bug you have found
• Repeatedly abuse a bug to your advantage
• Share a bug with others

When in doubt, report any bug or glitch to the staff team through the Discord ticket system to avoid misunderstandings.

Graphics modifications

Hydrate runs Level 1 of FiveM's Pure Mode, which allows only approved graphics modifications, such as NVE and ReShade, plus some audio modifications. To learn more, see Pure Mode.

Using a third-party tool (such as ReShade) to modify your graphics for any in-game advantage, such as in PvP, is prohibited.
