Manual analysis is the most important part of any of my web3 game audits.
Automated tools currently can catch only the most obvious bugs, some AI tools can catch mid bugs maybe, but the deep, hard to find vulnerabilities are still only caught with a person actually reading the code.
audits are costly
exploits are priceless
security is a tough bet, you spend a ton of money for visibly not much improvements, but if you ever get exploited, you'll be regretting not doing any security work forever.
'rekt news' leaderboard is not a great leaderboard to be winning in. Don't be like that. Get an audit.
Don't discredit auditors who are able to audit fast.
As a rule of thumb, yes - a short turn around likely means not much manual auditing was done, but this is not a hard rule.
Some people once they get a client, they put all of their attention and hard work towards it to have a fast turnaround.
An auditors worth and skill should be determined by testimonials/past work, not by length of turnaround or price.
Lastly:
Once the fixes are done, the auditor will check if the new fixes were implemented correctly and don't include new attack vectors. If everything is OK then he will make a final version of the report with your fixes.
5/6
The cheapest audit you'll ever get is before launch. After an exploit it's not an audit you need — it's damage control
Most Web3 games that got exploited had one thing in common — they skipped the audit. Don't be like that.
Here's how a good audit actually impacts in your game 👇

such code is also more gas efficient, therefore your players don't need to be spending as much per transaction (which adds up fast)
