As always, after a hard day at work, you go to your favorite game server in order to forget about everything for at least a few hours and enjoy the game and communication with players like you. And here is the moment of anticipation that you have been waiting for all day: you know that you will win - you have already played with this opponent and you know for sure that he plays worse than you. In the next round, you watch him closely and notice that he has become much better than yesterday, and other players notice the same, whom he killed with an infamous headshot from a pistol. Then you understand: a cheater has come to the server!
I think a similar situation has happened in the life of every player. If you haven’t had anything like this before, wait, and a cheater will come into your life. The arrival of a cheater on the server is very dangerous - it can alienate good players (fathers) and attract other cheaters. The presence of cheaters does not depend on the game: Counter-Strike, Quake, World of Warcraft or any other popular game. Cheaters are found on almost all servers; even anti-cheat programs do not always save you.
Who are cheaters?
Cheaters are players who use special programs that break the client version of the game, which allows them to play better. Many novice players call real fathers cheaters only because they constantly win (and not only on the server, but also in tournaments where it is almost impossible to bring a cheat). Over time, experience will come to such beginners, and they will understand how wrong they were.
Where did the cheats start?
Cheat translated from English is deception. Accordingly, a cheater is a deceiver. Cheats were originally created by game developers for players who could not complete all levels. These were special codes for increasing money, weapons, time, life and other counters used in the game. Then programs began to appear that change the value of data in RAM - game hacks. Examples of such hackers include (because they do not work correctly in online games and are known to everyone) Immortal Player (for old DOS games) and ArtMoney (for DOS and WINDOWS games). Of course, you can try to use ArtMoney in an online game, but in this case there will be a disagreement between the client (hacked) and server versions of the game and the server would rather kick the player than trust the client. As a result, you will not gain anything from using the program. But over time, other programs appeared that do not change the meaning of life, money, etc. These programs use possibly hidden games. These are cheats.
Psychological portrait of a cheater.
There are 3 main types of cheaters. And each of them has their own reasons for practicing this craft.
First type
Let's imagine the following situation: some guy (well, I can't imagine a girl playing computer games) is humiliated by everyone both at school (institute, technical school, college - underline as appropriate) and in the yard (of course, if he does not live outside the city in a separate home) the same thing happens. In other words, this is a person with low moral self-esteem (or, conversely, high, but no one knows). And so, when he comes home from the street and sits down to play with people who have never seen him and do not know how they treat him, and if he loses, he starts using cheats. He would use them in life, but this is impossible. The reason for his cheating is his reluctance to lose in virtual life. Thus, he compensates for his failures and losses in real life. As a rule, cheaters of this type do not stay on one server for a long time (naturally, they do not play on official servers - for them, a game is a game and nothing more, and they will not pay for it). If they sit on the same server, then under different nicknames. They do not form close relationships with other players (they do not go to tournaments, gatherings, etc.). Usually, they choose nicknames that are similar to the nicknames of famous players, or “big” names (Terminator, RoboCop, Exterminator, etc., I apologize to normal players with such nicknames). They cheat openly, without hiding it, but they are very afraid that someone will find out who is hiding under the nickname of this cheater. They don't try to learn how to play without cheats (if they are cheaters) because of their lack of confidence in winning.
Second type
These cheaters cheat for fun. These are already experienced players who never left childhood. They may be quite famous on the server, but they also have another nickname (or several nicknames) - cheating. They can use cheats against their friends, and then, under their real nickname, resent the cheaters. They are playing a double game. Their cheating nicknames are either the same as those of the first type of cheaters, or more obscure, perhaps using underscores, “dog”, “number”, “percentage”, etc. It is likely to use nicknames of other players, or numbered nicknames (so that when they enter the game, other players know that he is a cheater, for example Mega Cheater1, Mega Cheater2, etc.). The reason for their cheating is that they are bored with being themselves and that they have not yet come out of childhood. For them, cheating is an opportunity to introduce novelty and thrills into their lives, ordinary entertainment. They can stop using cheats for a while - give normal players time to rest, but then the cheater may return. You can perceive this as a split personality. Cheaters of this type are afraid of exposure, for them this is equal to death, and after this the “real” nickname is likely to leave for another server.
Third type
This is the most “friendly” type of cheaters. For them, cheating is an opportunity to get to know the map, game strategy or other players better, and learn to play well. They can turn off cheating for a while and play on their own. Over time, they change the cheat settings and gradually abandon it. If we assume that they initially configured AimBot to shoot in the head, then it is possible to switch to the body or completely disable the bot. They can either use a new nickname for cheating, but they may also use their main nickname. Generally, the WallHack is only used to locate other players, not to shoot through boxes or walls. As the level of play increases, they begin to play honestly.
They can be compared to programmers who wrote viruses in the past - this is what most programmers go through.
These three types are certainly not all. These three types are the main ones, the rest are modifications. There are, for example, “commercial” cheaters that force players to switch to another server, but this usually happens on paid servers.
How to protect yourself from cheating?
There are no programs that cannot be hacked, and no protection that cannot be bypassed. You can use any programs - HLGuard, SSclient, Cheating-Death and others, but this will not give a 100% guarantee that there will be no cheaters. These programs, of course, help get rid of the most common cheats, but new programs are released every day, including cheating ones. Comparing client resources for validity is very useful. This ensures that the client sees the map, models and other game elements in the same way as other players and as seen on the server. It is very important for the server to check the player’s client settings that can affect the game. The use of cheats is practically impossible where all players know each other and when these players are united by some goal. It is useful to use a nickname registration for the game. Especially if this procedure is associated with difficulties for the player. For example, if a nickname is registered for money, or an admin (or a group of admins) does this. Using publicly available registration forms on the site is a guarantee that this player is who he says he is, but this is not a panacea for cheaters. It is possible to use password-protected servers. In this case, the password should be changed quite often. The administration should send new passwords only to proven users, who in turn will notify other players about the password change. But this method will only save you from cheaters of the first and, possibly, third type. The presence of an administrator, for example, from among the players, on the server is very important. This will guarantee that the person who used cheating techniques will be banned and kicked out of the game. Cheating is practically impossible when the player uses a dedicated Internet access line. In this case, an IP ban blocks access to the game from this computer. A similar thing should happen on local networks, but, alas, many banned cheaters change their IP and continue to play under the guise of another player (or rather, a computer). This can seriously affect the structure of the network and can lead to quite severe and tangible consequences. The arrival of STEAM (in Counter-Strike) can be called a panacea, but STEAM can also be bypassed. One of its capabilities - assigning a unique identifier to the computer, is not a guarantee that cheating will be stopped. This will only prevent the player from accessing the server, but nothing will prevent the player from reinstalling the game and getting a new ID (if he really wants to, format the disk and install everything again). The system based on the use of a CD key has proven itself quite well. Moreover, each copy of the game must have a unique key, without which it is impossible to get into the game. But the algorithms for compiling these keys either become known to a certain circle of people who distribute key generators, or use programs to disable CD key verification. Naturally, the keys issued by the generator are allowed to play, since they go through the algorithm (and for many servers this is enough), but when checking through the master server it may turn out that the user with this key is banned or is already in the game (usually this happens when using a pirated version of the game) or this key is not in the database at all (even if it fits the algorithm). Therefore, many players use licensed copies of games, even if they can buy a pirated one.
I've been playing for quite a long time Online Games, mostly Counter Strike: Source, while playing on servers, I sometimes encounter cheaters, including cheaters represented by the administration. Mostly youngsters play with cheats and try to look cool while running on the server with aim ( aim) or ineptly using wh (wh) poking the muzzle into the walls, cheats also use an “offended noob” who, without cheats, can’t play well, and doesn’t understand how others can shoot so clearly. Both of them end up getting banned after a couple of minutes, some behave more quietly, those who are smarter play with a slightly fawn well-tuned wh cheat or with a customized aim that does not kill with the first shot, but let’s say if it’s a line then with 6 bullets or 7 bullets - usually to the head. The use of anti-recoil ( Anti Recoil) - reducing the spread when shooting. It will not be difficult for experienced players to identify these cheaters, as a result of which they will be banned and kicked out of the server forever in disgrace amid the screams of angry players
Other types of cheats such as speedhack ( SpeedHack ) and Bunny Hop ( Bunny Hop) it’s also very easy to scorch) not to understand that the player has downloaded cheats and only beginners can cheat with them. By the way, cheats are searched not only for css and cs go but also for other games like word of tanks. People don’t want to play well, they will definitely use the software and the hands of the fools are itching, but some spend months honing their shooting skills on bots, and in public I personally did this on aim cards like 2000 and similar ones.
How can you easily and quickly catch a cheater?
There are a lot of anti-cheats for this. But since most servers do not update them, and new cheats appear, bypassing old versions, cheaters freely cheat on servers that seem to have anti-cheats installed on them. So advice for server owners is to install updated versions of anti-cheats and check their relevance at least once a month, if it is not possible to burn a cheater using an anti-cheat and you suspect that he has an input and he uses it skillfully, I want to immediately warn some players who are inexperienced and they play quite a bit, including the admins on the servers who ban players for entering players who determine where the player is by the sound of steps, although you can determine not only by the sound of steps, but also by reloading a weapon or changing weapons, as well as by a randomly selected a sapper kit or a grenade and other small movements - for an experienced player you have already burned yourself out and made all these mistakes during the game, and inexperienced admins banned this player, so before you ban a player, be sure to carefully monitor him if he only reacts to noise and determines the player’s place based on it, then this is not a cheat at all.
The main ways to identify an experienced thief
This is a demo recording onCounter Strike: Source
1. In order to record a demo video, you need to open the console and write there: record demo name after which press Enter.
For example: record vitamin
2. Demo video recording also stops through the console, registering stop and pressing Enter.
3. The recorded demo is saved along the path:
For Steam users - “your path to installed Steam”\SteamApps\”your account name”\Counter-strike source\cstrike\
For pirate users -your path to the game \Сunter-strike source\cstrike\
and will have the name and extension you specified when recording.dem
After recording, you need to analyze the recorded demo video, carefully studying it
There are two ways to view the demo. But before that, move your demo along the path ...counter-strike source\cstrike, that is, to your game folder cstrike
First.
Register in the console play
demo the name of your demo and then press Enter. For example, I recorded a demo with the name demo_1, which means I need to register in the console play
demo demo_1
Second way.
It is much more convenient in terms of management.
After launching the css game, click Shift + F2 so you call "DEMO player"(Demo Playback) in the window that opens, you can load any demo (file with the extension .dem), just click “Load”, select the desired entry and watch.
And yes moment. Do you want to watch some demo with the eyes of a cheater?
While watching the demo we write to the console r_drawothermodels 2(in when watching a demo) - and here it will be necessary, as I wrote above, to watch the video very carefully, the most important thing is not to make a mistake, it is best to write several demos at different times for a suspicious player.
Counter Strike is an excellent game that allows you to test not only your reaction, but also significantly improves strategic thinking and the ability to make complex decisions in stressful situations. Each player, starting from scratch in this game, wants to grow and develop, improving their level of tactics, mastering the basic techniques better and better. But some users take a workaround, using so-called cheats.
What it is? This is a special script (sometimes a cheat is called a bot), which is programmed to perform one or another game action or can improve a particular user’s own skills (improve aim, open the ability to see through walls, etc.). Each user claims that they do not use cheats and bots, as this risks being removed from the server on which they play. However, statistics say otherwise - regular users of CS 1.6 have tried one or another cheat at least once during their “career”.
But it’s one thing to use cheats for the sake of interest or fun, but another thing to constantly practice such “doping” in a computer game. In most cases, admins block only those cheaters who constantly pump up their accounts with prohibited cheats. A game with such techniques lacks the excitement and pleasure for which it is famous - if the opponents are not equal from the beginning, then what is the point of deciding who is stronger and better?
What are the cheats in CS 1.6, and? Most often, the first thing that catches your eye is a group of so-called aimbots. These are cheats that improve the aim, make the shot more accurate and almost always error-free. Inexperienced users configure the bot so that the muzzle never shakes, even when moving and when an opponent suddenly appears, the sight is immediately adjusted to the head. In this case, you can tell the admin that they are not playing you fairly.
An experienced aim cheater configures the bot so that the aim always first hits not the head, but the leg or body of the opponent, it may even hesitate or tremble a little. But if you watch your opponent for a long time, you will probably see so-called “lags”. The sight may suddenly begin to tremble for no reason, hang in the air, or display other things that are not typical for a normal game. A slow-motion recording of the game and its subsequent analysis will help to expose the aimer very well. If you notice a problem, sudden movement of the sight even while moving - all this gives you the right to contact the server administrators.
But in order to play well in CS 1.6, you need not just to shoot accurately, but also to be able to predict where your opponent might appear at one time or another. ESP Hack is used for this. It is this that allows you to see your opponent through a wall or any other foreign object.
One of the important components of the game that makes it beautiful and interesting is the element of suspense. Thanks to his experience, acquired skills and intuition, a skilled player is able to correctly predict and take into account the information that is hidden from him: where the enemy is most likely to attack and where he could potentially set up an ambush. It requires the same skills from an experienced player as in so-called games with incomplete information. The most popular varieties Such games also require strategic thinking and observation, but CS, in addition to the strategic component, also offers realistic and almost continuous action.
All these skills become completely useless if the opponent uses ESP Hack. How can you tell if a user is playing honestly or using similar tricks? The “plays too well or poorly” scale will clearly not be enough. Of course, an experienced server administrator will identify a cheater without much difficulty. Another thing is that he is unlikely to spend time constantly observing a specific player. He definitely needs a hint or at least suspicion from his opponents - they won’t ban you for a good game in itself.
In addition to ESP Hack, players can use the optional Wall Hack cheat. Unlike the previous one, it allows you to see your opponent through several walls. For such an opponent there will be no obstacles or difficulties in the location. It is quite difficult to identify such cheaters, especially if they do not sin by using other cheats. But carefully watching your opponents, you will notice how amazingly a series of random events helps them find their opponent in time or hide from him. With this cheat you can score frags even without making eye contact with your opponent. You need to be careful here - Wall Hack can be confused with your opponent's good skills.
A user who plays honestly will always focus on , when making a shot. In popular places in the location, players shoot almost constantly, regardless of the sound of footsteps. But Wall Hack is a bull's-eye shot in absolute silence and not in the most popular location for shooting. Most likely, you will have to watch such a user in more than one game.
It is relatively easy to identify a speed cheater (using Speed Hack). Such users not only move around a location at great speed, but can also move in “pieces”, and this is very noticeable and always leads to suspicion. It is also easy to recognize players using No Recoil cheats. They remove recoil from any weapon. If you look closely or listen closely to a specific user, this is very easy to understand. Depending on the type of weapon, it is relatively easy to recognize the Fastfire cheat. It allows you to shoot very quickly from any type of weapon. But here you need to know well the characteristics of a particular machine in the game (usually even a beginner is familiar with this).
There are cheats that do not tactically strengthen the player. For example, SpinHack. It simply allows the player to spin around its axis, making movement much more spectacular. And although theoretically such a spin does not strengthen gaming positions and is absolutely harmless, this is direct evidence that the user can use cheats and could potentially get banned.
Cheater (“Cheater") from the word " cheat” means “ deception, fraud" In this review, we will talk about real cheaters, and not about players who specifically come in with cheats, without fear of getting burned, doing it for personal reasons (revenge, reducing the number of players on the server, etc.).
I believe that a cheater is, first of all, a player who passes off his game with cheats as an honest game, pretending and giving in, making friends on the server so that they stand up for him. I would also like to note that cheaters are mostly nervous people who, in response to accusations, can respond with rudeness and barbs. Not being an important part of real life, and not having received the proper authority, they try to find it in the game world with cheats.
Cheaters can be roughly divided into 2 groups:
- Cheaters who assert themselves through superiority in the game. As a rule, they cannot achieve the same thing in real life, so the game is, for them, a kind of “completion” of what they lack in reality. This type of people likes to be first, likes to be respected for their game and known for them, i.e. For these people, the main thing is to achieve authority among the players. Such people can be understood; we all sometimes want to feel fame and respect. We can also conditionally call this group cheaters with low self-esteem(I don’t want to offend anyone and I’m not trying to).
- Cheaters who play with cheats, because everyone on the server is a cheater, so as not to “lag behind the rest.” These are cheaters who are driven by desperation to use cheats, because it is no longer possible to fight cheaters with honest methods, and in order to enjoy the game at least a little and play on equal terms with other cheaters, they use cheats.
Also, in this group I will include people who use cheats because they cannot play as well as honest players. Let's call this group forced cheaters.
Cheaters' reaction to accusations of using cheats
Sometimes the points are combined.
I would like to note right away that they are not original and often play the role of someone who is amused by all your attempts to somehow influence the players to take action in his favor, sometimes pretending that he doesn’t care (although this is not the case).
A cheater thinks like this, if he shows that he is afraid of a ban, then everyone will decide that he is a cheater, so such people need to play the role of a confident, good player who has worked hard and sweat to achieve such a game.
- « Ahahaha" - Laughter. As I said, they try not to show their fear, and try to remain confident, tellingly writing “haha”, ridiculing your opinion.
- « You're just a noob“This message has a double meaning. On the one hand, cheaters try to insult the player who accuses them, on the other hand, they try to point out the bad play of the one who accused them of cheating, saying, you yourself play poorly, so you think that I’m a cheater.
- « All of you are cheaters who kill you" or " just because you got killed doesn't mean everyone is a cheater“- Here, too, the person is trying to be smart, and as if accusing you that you play poorly and therefore consider someone a cheater, in other words, he is trying to make you doubt.
- « Fuck you***" - Just sending you, as if abstracting from you and your opinion, will also perhaps add a story that he came in for 5 minutes, just to play and he has no time to play with cheats and download them, because he is a family-oriented, hard-working man who has no time, not only for such nonsense (according to him), but even for playing.
- « Yes, I'm a cheater(aim, input, underline as necessary).” Confession, usually pronounced with sarcasm. Here the cheating player is trying to be hesitant, like, who will blame the player who has already admitted to cheating.
- « Look at my number of hours played" Knowing how players can pretend, I can say that any number of hours can be played with cheats.
- « I'm global (“I played with professional teams and was on a professional team myself“Perhaps there will be some story about his attempt to become a professional player).” This is already the most arrogant cheater who is trying to convince that his level of skill is just above the stratosphere. The most self-confident type, vain, with an admixture of narcissism, a man in love with his game with cheats. Again, why couldn’t he get the global title by playing with cheats?
In this video, 5 streamers were burned with aim and input, although before that he claimed that he was just a cool player
Reaction of other players to the presence of a cheater on the server
Cheaters' reaction
Solidarity. There is some solidarity between cheaters. When accusing someone of cheating, be prepared that other cheaters will defend him. Remember, only a cheater can stand up for an unfamiliar player playing with cheats. Typically, they do this for several reasons:
- By defending another cheater, he hopes that he will stand up for him if an incident arises with him.
- He also, subconsciously, protects himself with this. It seems like if he plays so badly, then by covering him, he can also play like that.
- The more players there are cheaters, the more difficult it will be for honest single players to influence the opinions of server players.
Loyal attitude. Other cheaters are less suspicious of players who use cheats and do not outperform them in the game, or, moreover, do not outperform them when playing for the enemy team (usually, a loyal attitude is manifested towards players who have reached the age of 18 and have a microphone, in general, people are more supportive of cheaters with a microphone)
Reaction of ordinary players
Indifference. Desperate to somehow overcome the presence of a huge number of cheaters, most players behave with restraint, ignoring all sorts of tricks of cheaters. If a new player on the server accuses someone of cheating, then the cheaters will ridicule him and make him look like a noob, and will treat him with disrespect.
Therefore, the rest meekly, resignedly, pretend that the player playing with cheats is the same as them, he simply plays better.
Why don't admins ban cheaters?
In this topic, I will try to reveal the most significant factors.
- Cheaters turned admins. As I already said, cheaters are people who lack respect in real life, and in order not only to increase their status among players, but also to gain immunity to bans, and also so that no one dares accuse them of cheating, they acquire admin rights .
- Main admins who became cheaters. The main admins will not play on their server, where they cannot be the best, basically, people start servers for the same reasons, universal love and respect, to feel a certain amount of power.
- Online. The main admins understand that there will always be more cheaters on the servers than normal players, and if you ban all the cheaters in a row, then there will be no players on the server, which means the acquired server will not pay for itself, so the Main admins are forced to (more or less) tolerate cheaters , sell them admin rights, etc.
- Restriction of rights. Other admins are also limited, afraid of losing admin rights, even if in their actions they banned real cheaters, so the heads. admins set the restriction “ban only if there is a demo”, which others are often too lazy to do.
- Admin cheater friends. As a rule, a cheater finds a cheater admin among the admins and makes friends with him (having a microphone is required), but most often the cheater tries to make friends with every admin on the server in order to have at least some immunity from a ban, but more on that in the next topic.
- Don't seem like a noob. Also afraid of seeming like a noob, many admins ignore the cheater.
Cheater behavior
Let's look at the behavior and habits of cheaters on a new server (or an old one, where it has already taken root):
- Doesn't stand out at first. On a new server, a cheater can behave according to the situation, sometimes they behave less carefully if they have a microphone, so that they can immediately be ready to defend themselves against accusations. But there are also quiet people who play weakly. More often they give in, even in stupid moments, especially if they are being watched by spectators.
- Make more friends among admins. To start playing better and more freely with cheats, the cheater tries to make more friends among the admin staff, so that they will stop him if someone starts throwing accusations.
- Get to know regular players. Cheaters also try to make friends among old server players, because they can also influence decisions, sometimes even more.
- Purchase admin rights. In order not to have competitors and to have “immunity” to accusations (after all, if you offend the admin with your “false” accusations, he can give a mute or a ban/kick), as well as immunity to a ban, cheaters acquire rights, and as I said earlier , so they further fulfill their need for respect from other players.
- Causticity, rudeness, attempts to be clever, offend, ridicule an opinion. As I wrote earlier, cheaters are nervous people, so any accusation is almost always answered with rudeness, if this person is not over 35-40.
- Screen shaking. Cheaters don't control themselves well. When a cheater misses, he often shakes the screen, as if apologizing for the miss, that he cannot hit, and at the same time “blowing off steam.” Cheaters do this at the end of the round, after their next miss on the target, when they can no longer shoot, because the entire server is watching them.
- Nickname. The nickname of the cheater also plays an important role, sometimes they deliberately take the nicknames WH, AIM, based on logic, who would think of a cheater who shoots himself with such a nickname, it seems like such a joke, I would ban such people first.
- A test that proves nothing. It happens that a cheater who has been accused of cheating may offer to test him in a way that does not prove anything, for example, play 1 on 1, record a demo, which, by the way, does not show cheats, etc.
How can you check a person for cheats?
The only best way is to ask to record a video of the game using video capture programs.
- ShadowPlay(ShadowPlay is supported in video cards of the series GeForce 650 and higher, and don’t forget to download the latest drivers with NVIDIA Experience utility). The best solution, I use this method for myself.
- Ask to record a video using bandicam or fraps, although they load the system a little, but with weak quality settings, you can write down some proof of the purity of the game ( set the quality to 60-70, resolution 800×600 or less, it’s better to experiment).
- Raptr. Similar to ShadowPlay, only for AMD cards above 7000 series.
Cheaters' reaction to the offer to undergo verification
The meaning of the reaction is always the same, and from this reaction one can already understand that only those who have something to hide will not want to pass the test.
- “I won’t prove anything”, “I don’t have to!”, “What’s the point?” In other words, “I won’t” means “I can’t prove it.”
- "I have no time". Well, there is time to play, but there is no time to prove that you are playing without cheats?
- See the third point, “The reaction of cheaters when you accuse them of cheating.”
In one of the sections, I wrote that I accused the cheater by taking a couple of screenshots with his answers, and this is what he replied to the offer to undergo verification.
Also, I want to warn you that if a cheater finds out about this article, then so that it is impossible to record a video from his screen, he will immediately say that he has a GeForce video card below 650 (although this can be checked through TeamViewer by going to the settings of the cheater’s computer) , or one or another video capture program does not work.
And so, I shared with you what I know myself, maybe someone will leave a comment in the form of “nonsense.” But, I think, an honest player will recognize a situation here that he has encountered more than once and write: “and this dude knows what he is writing about.” I think this article has been on everyone’s tongue for a long time, but some are too lazy to write about it, and others are cheaters.
1. AIMbot- the most common cheat among the younger generation. The main characteristic of the cheat is that the player constantly kills in the head. Primitive players who downloaded this cheat on the Internet can simply go to the server without understanding the settings and be banned within the first minutes of the game. And all because:
1.1. There are cases of particularly single-celled players who do not disable the function of so-called alerts. At the end of each round, AIM sends a message to the chat from the player in which the number of kills, headshots, shots, etc. is written. Of course, immediately after this, the player receives his permanent!
1.2. The auto-shot function is not disabled. When he sees an enemy, the cheat instantly (himself) aims at the head and shoots. Sometimes even turning 180 degrees.
1.3. The player's camera is upside down. While shooting, the player writes out headshots left and right.
1.4. Sharp “aims” at the enemy’s head along a straight trattoria.
Some hacks have adjustable vectors to target different points on the opponent's body. Some (very rare) have "randomness" algorithms to make it difficult for observers to identify cheating. The aimbots can be configured - small target acquisition angle, low approach speed, time to jump to another target, non-aiming over walls (autowall). All this makes it difficult to recognize the aimbot. But nevertheless, this is one of the most easily identified cheats.
2.WallHack(WH) This cheat allows the player to see through walls. In most cases, these are simply different wall or player textures that allow you to see approaching enemies. Also, VX can be part of the so-called Multihacks (assembly of cheats), which through the wall show a “square” with data about the enemy (Amount of health, nickname).
It is very difficult to see players using VX. Demos are usually written on them.
In practice, there are two types of cheaters using WH.
1. Unicellular. Peculiarities:
1.1 They aim at the wall. Until they come across the enemy's head.
1.2 When playing with AWP they kill through doors. And not just a shot.
1.3 No matter how the opponent hides on the map, a single-cell VKhashnik will definitely find him behind any cover and, even while walking quietly, will be ready to meet the opponent.
1.4 Sometimes they don't notice the wall. They shoot right through it.
1.5 Before turning, presses the fire button in advance to kill the enemy.
2. Scorchless. It is very difficult to see such cheaters. They don’t give themselves away in any way: they don’t drive along walls, they let opponents through in ambushes, they move carefully, looking around them. As a rule, a lot of demos are written for such players, viewed on r_drawothermodels 2 and in slow motion. Such cheaters focus on the smallest details.
3.No-Recoil- a hack that gives the player the opportunity to shoot without spread. All fired bullets will hit one point. It is possible to adjust the spread parameter so that it simply becomes smaller. In any case, the cameras of players using this cheat will shake wildly as the hack returns the player's sight to its original position. No-recoil is usually included in AIMbot, but can exist without it. The hack is included in the category of the most powerful cheats.
4. Radar-Hack allows the cheater to see all players on the radar. Almost no-burn hack. Those who use this type of cheat do not drive along walls, do not run directly, often camp, and confuse the height levels when aiming (if there is such a choice). Without writing demos, you are unlikely to be able to catch such a cheater.
5. Speed hack increases the player's movement speed. Included in the main composition of Multi-Hack "a. Such a player either quickly runs around the map with an Aimbot or increases his speed slightly and quietly runs faster than others, taking up tactically advantageous positions before the enemy. It is very easy to notice such a hack. If a player runs faster than you with the same weapons, he definitely uses speed-hack.Similarly, seasoned players notice the Speedhacker “by eye” even with minimal settings.
6. No-Flash. Included in the main part of Multi-Hack "a. Allows you not to react to a flash grenade. That is, simply, it does not blind you. No matter how trivial it may sound, the hack is one of the most “light-free” unless used together with another hack And all because the behavior of flash grenades in CS:S is very unpredictable, and without a demo of such a cheater (namely a cheater, because you can blame an ordinary player) it is almost impossible.
7.No-Smoke Allows you to see through smoke. Typically used in conjunction with WH. If you were killed through smoke, you need to take a closer look at this player, follow him and write a demo. If he continues to aim and kill through the smoke (and is very suspicious) this is a ban.
It is worth adding that doubts disappear instantly if, despite all the super-heads, the player moves awkwardly, throws grenades poorly, acts tactically ridiculous - this is a 100% ban
