Cheating has gone out of hand in all multiplayer games, it became a literal industry where people work 9-5 developing cheats, testing them, advertising them.
Not everyone plays this game for fun like you do. An immortal 1 account with no skins sells for $70-$110 depending on the server. So cheaters have high incentive to boost an account with cheats and then sell it. Only takes selling 5 immortal accounts to pay my rent for a month lol

They do. But not the cheaters that you think. Vanguard does a good job at banning the kids using $10 budget cheats. But anyone willing to spend a few hundred dollars on a more sophisticated cheat will last many months sometimes years if they stay below Radiant
there's a reason for this: vanguard DOES detect all cheats, but it doesn't ban them right away, the reason being is if you make a cheat, it gets banned instantly, then you can just see what got detected and try to work around it and this makes the cheaters always be 1 step ahead of vanguard, but if vanguard waits to ban the cheaters (in the case of a distributed cheat it'll wait until the number of users is really high or starts to flatten out), vanguard will do one massive banwave for those cheaters, this also makes it really hard to detect what exactly happened to get the cheat detected, this is also why riot is implementing RR rollback

What usually gets these banned is the mouse input method.

However, the set up of an arduino is very technical, and the use of more consumer friendly mouse emulators like a KMBox (very popular in china) is more or less on the rise.

Having used cheats in this game for the past three acts without getting banned, I can say that "legit cheating" is incredibly easy-mostly because the average player has little idea how to spot a cheater. For instance, they’ll see a fresh level 20 account in Ascendant or Immortal dropping 30-40 kills per game with no skins and just assume the player is legit. Why? Because they aren’t getting shot through smokes or walls. For most players, the only signs of cheating are kills through smokes, wall shots, or overly robotic aim. If those aren't happening, they’re quick to believe it’s just a smurf/cracked player The truth is, modern cheats are often designed to look completely legitimate, and many cheat developers advise users to avoid rage cheating to avoid manual bans. I even told a teammate in-game that I was cheating, but since I wasn’t at the top of the scoreboard or hitting 40 kills, they thought I was joking! 😂 Riot likes to push the narrative that Vanguard is highly effective, but the reality is it mostly stops $10 budget cheats. Anyone willing to spend a couple hundred dollars on a more advanced cheat can often avoid detection for months. Of course, experienced cheaters know to avoid high Radiant ranks, where there’s more scrutiny due to the presence of pros and streamers with connections to Riot. Riot tends to protect those players as they bring visibility and business, so cheaters stay in low to mid Immortal to fly under the radar.
True. I have played Valorant, CS2, R6s and every other "cs like" game and I can say that 90% of the time you do not know who is cheating. I have had times where someone on my team cheated and I did not even know. Legit cheating even has a whole youtube scene of people making videos of it.
I agree with you because no one suspects in valorant till its way too blatant since its partially the community's and riot's own fault about smurfing which everyone concludes to after whitnesing any skill inbalance between them
@@Monarch_GNSG Exactly. You can never be certain someone is cheating. That's why I always laugh when people say "I've been playing for X years and never encountered a cheater or got a red screen" lol so delusional
LOL thats exactly what i do i buy accs i peak immortal and then i switch acc or even when i boost ppl i always stop at immo1 or 2 but im never going over
@@forgotenguy-fi2mz its definitely the community. everyone that plays valorant meat rides TF outta riot and everything they do. half of em claim that cheats dont exist at all, cause of the overly invasive anti cheat, and them being so bad at FPS games that they dont know how to even tell when someone is closet cheating. There was a solid month a couple years ago where I swear I ran into more cheaters on valorant than CSGO, and not even ppl i assumed were cheating. Im talking full on canceled match after canceled match, or a guy on my team running down mid w spinbot and not getting banned. But then again "dude, all riot has to do is rat ur pc to play without cheaters dood. trust me dood i play league theres no cheaters on valorant. Riot wouldnt allow it dood" lel
I don't like jumping on the copium cheating boat in general because it just kills any improvement mindsets, but i can't deny that there is a growing amount that do, just look at how much people don't hesitate to stream snipe when they can because they know it's a free wallhack without any risks but as these cheats become better that "risk" aspect diminishes and a growing amount start cheating, i've also noticed that as time goes most cheaters are becoming very clever in game doing just enough to guarrantee the win, for e.g being able to perfectly spam through smokes in clutches, or making perfect VCT calls once or twice per half, those are not the cheaters caught by Vanguard or being mass reported as they appear legit, the most annoying aspect of this is that this is part of being a good player and the paranoia this can instill completely remvoves the fun out of the game imo. EDIT: I'd like to add that people confuse the lack of red screens with the actual number of cheaters that they encountered in their games; red screens mid-game are actually pretty rare overall, and those happen to either obvious or newbie cheaters, not veterans.
Yup. You hit the nail on the head. I cheat and I don't need to drop 40 kills every game and get myself mass reported. I tell my team "Hey guys, one of their players are streaming! I will tell you which site has no sentinel". This is a lie, I actually have wallhacks. Then I proceed to get maybe 1-2 kills per round. Rarely top frag. Average kd, but my win rate is high
@@paraenesis I think a lot of streamers dont want to use delay though cause it disconnects them terribly with the chats reactions. They end up just not streaming when grinding. This is why mooda is king.
i knew a guy who queued with the now banned former rank 1 cheater "going for clip" in swiftplays and im not sure how he managed to get away with it for nearly two acts
We had a dumb Brimstone just yesterday ult us from the other side of the map despite being the last player with no intel, and Op shot us through a wall despite nobody having seen us at that part of the map, as well as a Harbor that did nothing but headshots We were running double smokes (Omen, Brim,) and double flash (Gekko, Yoru,), so some of these kills were done through smokes and through flash - either headshots from Harbor or Op shots from Brim We actually won that game because the players themselves had terrible game awareness and they had a more honest but unskilled Chamber to farm kills off of
I've got a false positive ban some time ago, never got a response back from riot games... It's so sad to see that legit people can be banned and don't get any attention and cheaters are swarming the game in, also I've notice Valorant is so buggy lately, am an AMD user, my GPU has been bottlenecking a lot, my friend that also has a AMD gpu is also having severe stuttering problems, matchmaking is getting longer to find matches, I'm on the edge to drop the game, It's so sad to see how it has evolved.
Riot banned me over 2 years ago for third-party usage which is completely false. I’ve made a dozen appeals with all of them getting “solved” with no response whilst real hackers are being untouched.
It is so hilarious how even something like vanguard which is anti-cheat devs doing everything in their power is still completely and utterly useless except for deterring the most basic script-kiddies. And all of these billions spent just so they don't have to pay a couple cents to do server-side anti cheat and not open up security vulnerabilities for their users, the stupidity is immeasurable.
@@dahahaka To be fair to Vanguard, it is stopping loads of script kiddies with low budgets from destroying the game. Unlike CS or other games, some random kid can't spend $10 and have a cheat that takes 100s of games for them to get banned. You typically won't last more than 10 games with budget cheats, often times you will get insta ban upon injection. The cheaters you see who last multiple acts/hundreds of games without bans are typically using expensive and sophisticated cheats like DMA/2pc cheats/hardware/etc. Once you hit Ascendant+, I'd say you will typically run into a cheater once every 10-20 games. Which isn't a lot at all.
@@GlenBeale This is a big thing when it comes to Valorant's AC. People can bitch about it all they want but the number of cheaters is drastically lower than a game like CS because of the way their AC works and how aggressive it is.
@@Noriaela You are right that it is lower, but it's nowhere near 0. Riot have admitted to banning 60k accounts per week in Valorant. And way more in school holidays. So sure there could be way more cheaters ruining the game, but there is still a significant portion that are cheating. I think this could be why they refuse to implement a replay system
@@Noriaela im sorry but valorant cheater number is nearly to cs cheaters. asia server have so many cheater not banned and most of them are play weird. i have tried na and eu its quite good and relaxed and not random compared to asia server especially sg and hk server
My friend who I thought was legit started playing act 1 till act 3 he was gold peak, then suddenly he started getting more and more rank win and I thought he keeps preaching practice and practice but he was just using color aim he got banned in act 8 he was radiant act 5 immortal 6 and 7. He un-added us all and just never talked to us again
This video is not authentic. It was created months ago and re uploaded only today. Either this is a promotion of the cheats displayed in the video, or this is a scheme to take down and re upload well performing videos.
Cheating is the worst, we had a match last time, no one was visible hacking but as we were 12-7 the enemy was probably hacking and made it basically a draw since if someone is detected, no rewards are given, it was the worst.
All these van restrictions is complete bs. They are going an easy route to tackle the cheating problem, they can stop some new or a pasting cheat dev but those who are experienced can easily bypass these shitty restrictions. Vanguard is just like other anti cheats and if you have brains, you can easily mess their whole anti cheat easily.
Such a good and informative video, I was not looking to get into cheating but this has has helped me understand the ways people cheat and how Riot is preventing it. Definity worth a sub
Love the effort theyre doing to fight hackers but theyll never win sadly its just a game of cat and mouse anti cheat changes? Hackers just find another way to bypass.
Im ngl u dont know ab anything bro this is just talking ab cheats/software not what the cheating situation is actually like in val at least for higher elo imm3+
Thanks for your comment! I know, but Vanguard is really strong right now and the number of high elo cheaters is decreasing day by day. In the past, these cheaters could play in high elo for 3-6 months without getting banned by playing legit. However, now this period has become much shorter, and they are getting banned quickly. Beating Riot's anti-cheat is absolutely impossible.
@@cvepsvalorantand also dma is also mostly undetected there are a lot of ppl who use dma in high elo there are also a few who use it in the t2-t3 scene
@@cvepsvalorant in some ways yea but if you know how to cheat you can last months in high elo and if you get banned you can spoof for cheap and buy a new account :)
I'm pretty sure :c it just sounds like it so much, looping, very top-level info and chatgpt style bullet point lists. I'm guessing he asked it first about different types to make chapters and then asked it specifically for each thing, explaining why he was looping himself. I don't mind people using LLMs to assist in some creative projects, but this seems like disingenuous regurgitation of a ChatGPT chat log of someone who interested of this topic but too lazy to at least proofread/rewrite any of it.
Maybe you don't know but vanguard is not just for preventing cheaters from cheating, it's also for catching them live while cheating. Vanguard has a built-in AI model. With that AI model, vanguard always watching your every move. If you do something impossible or something weird over and over again every round or even every match, it bans you. Thanks to being an AI, it can see the difference between a human reaction and an aimbot reaction super easily (except for external hardware cheats like a motorized mouse.). No matter how much cheaters try to make cheats look like human reactions, they can't hide it from vanguard. That's why it's not if they get banned, it's when they get banned. With every ban, riot analyzes that banned cheats and updates vanguard's AI model to detect and ban that cheats as soon as they use it. As the AI model continues to learn about that new cheats it becomes more and more effective and catches more cheaters. And riot updates vanguard more frequently. Also, vanguard is actually better then people think but because it's an AI, riot adjusts AI's decision parameters to ensure nobody except actual cheaters get banned. So, vanguard plays safe to not ban innocent players. That's why vanguard doesn't ban cheaters instantly. It observes suspected players for a while before banning them to ensure they are %100 cheating and it's not just false positive. Side note: Player reports affects vanguard's decisions and reporting them will make vanguard more likely to ban them. So, report every suspecious player to help vanguard detecting them.
The main reason I stopped playing these competitive multiplayer FPS games is that they're full of cheaters... If everyone who wasn't a cheater revolted and stopped playing too, companies would be forced to do something about it, or do you think that a multi-billion dollar company doesn't have the conditions to improve and drastically reduce this absurd amount of cheaters that are happening in games like COD VALORANT and CS... Yes, they do, but this generates $$$ for them
i'm alright at valorant, but the gen z kids in valorant are so harsh to the older gens, callin' a xennial / millennials a boomer. plus the gen z kids in valo are sus af. they'll be like iron 1 but have like immortal or ascendant level aim.
i was excited to see this then i watched it and reliesed this guy has no clue what hes talking about its like asking someone thats never watched or played basketball to give you sports bets this guy is clueless and its embarrising
people who cheat deserve to be scammed... scammers are bad, sure... but people who purposely ruin other people's experience in something meant to be fun for everyone... I don't normally like to hate people... but these people push it
23:07 bad news... I disabled Memory Integrity and I can still play the game totally fine. I need this disabled because my Android emulator does NOT detect my CPU's virtualization, thinking I have it disabled in the BIOS.
Very interesting vid since i'm very ineducatated in cheats, im sure u'll get much more popular. I have a question, what would be the best proof to show others you are not cheating? For example if a streamer is playing really well and gets accused of cheating, with say a good hand cam that shows his movements, what should he show ideally ( setup, game files, browser history etc.) in order to prove his innocence? Or there are so many cheats that he could be hiding them anywhere, even outside of his system and it would never be possible to identify unless a third party inspects his entire setup or he plays on someone else PC like a lan tournament.
For a streamer, usually a hand cam and a cam of all monitors would usually be enough to prove innocence. Cam of monitors would show that they don't have ESP, and a handcam would show that they don't have aim cheats. Unless they are somehow extremely good at hiding it, the inconsistencies with the handcam would be enough to prove they are cheating. Cheats nowadays can be completely hid from appearing on your main PC, so showing game files would be useless. Showing setup would be more useful as hardware cheats are more popular now. For a LAN tournament, usually all the equipment never leaves the building, so you would have to SNEAK something in, which is difficult as Riot takes their LAN security very seriously. So basically, cheating does not usually happen on LAN anymore in Riot tournaments.
@@VALORANTBOT-m3s nice, thanks for replying, yea i meant something like LAN tourney would be one of the ways to prove that the player is legit if he performs at the same level.
@@cvepsvalorant you made this exact response in another comment. It doesn't help your case if you have a pre-mediated reaction to anyone who claims this
I know its bad for the game but i personaly use triggerbot in valo and what i lerned is that around asc to immortal there will be a manual check by rito to see if you games are looking normal befor asc and even in immo 2-3 you can cheat all you want (if you dont spin bot make it obv ) and the anti cheat will not ban you specialy if you use only things like trigger bot. My for exampel runs with autohot key and just presses my mous key for me if it sees the righ color and the anti cheat can not see that . The only time (in 1 year of cheating) i was baned is becausw i got in a game with a rito dev (around asc ) and hit one or two shots that are not possibal for humans
you are completely wrong, you can literally be undetected for so much time. It depends on A LOT of things, stop confusing people that has no idea about this like you.
Are you dum, ofc he is not going to tell ppl how you can be undetected while cheating? This video is abt how riot has battled cheaters and tbf they have been successful. Name any fos game with better anticheat. You also have to remember that valorant has the biggest demand for cheats due to it's popularity.
People think valorant has good anti cheat but there are dozens of cheats that are undetected. U can cheat as long as u want it u hide it well. There are so many cheaters in radiant.
The top of the cheater is the one be able to make cheat,but not selling them . Thankfully,there are not a lot of them. Who need radiant level aim and game sense when you have radiant level hacking skill
TBH i want to cheat (kind of) in games. I'm not interested in the actual cheating in game, but how the cheat accesses memory. If someone is an ex cheat dev and wants to reach out please do, I'd love to talk over it.
That guy you swear is too good. Is in fact. Too good. I report everyone that seems too good and no i’m not coping, this is the truth of this fcking games.
3:22 the people getting aimbotted are normally not the people who are looking to purchase cheats 6:27 okay this video has to be satire, pro players could not use an esp at a LAN event for obvious reasons, and in online games you can't screen peek, what even is this video
I write cheats as a hobby and to learn, not for valorant or any game with a somewhat sophisticated anticheat but i do know vanguard is not that crazy cheats are still very much possible and alive in this game and the people who write cheats will win over time because they just have so many people that can find bypasses and exploits. Cheaters will always be there in any game and that is just a hard fact and you either stop playing the games or you dont and if you stop you are at least sending a message to the company that they should try harder in that department.

I even told a teammate in-game that I was cheating, but since I wasn’t at the top of the scoreboard or hitting 40 kills, they thought I was joking! 😂
Riot likes to push the narrative that Vanguard is highly effective, but the reality is it mostly stops $10 budget cheats. Anyone willing to spend a couple hundred dollars on a more advanced cheat can often avoid detection for months.
Of course, experienced cheaters know to avoid high Radiant ranks, where there’s more scrutiny due to the presence of pros and streamers with connections to Riot. Riot tends to protect those players as they bring visibility and business, so cheaters stay in low to mid Immortal to fly under the radar.
True. I have played Valorant, CS2, R6s and every other "cs like" game and I can say that 90% of the time you do not know who is cheating. I have had times where someone on my team cheated and I did not even know. Legit cheating even has a whole youtube scene of people making videos of it.
I agree with you because no one suspects in valorant till its way too blatant since its partially the community's and riot's own fault about smurfing which everyone concludes to after whitnesing any skill inbalance between them
@@Monarch_GNSG Exactly. You can never be certain someone is cheating. That's why I always laugh when people say "I've been playing for X years and never encountered a cheater or got a red screen" lol so delusional
LOL thats exactly what i do i buy accs i peak immortal and then i switch acc or even when i boost ppl i always stop at immo1 or 2 but im never going over
@@forgotenguy-fi2mz its definitely the community. everyone that plays valorant meat rides TF outta riot and everything they do. half of em claim that cheats dont exist at all, cause of the overly invasive anti cheat, and them being so bad at FPS games that they dont know how to even tell when someone is closet cheating. There was a solid month a couple years ago where I swear I ran into more cheaters on valorant than CSGO, and not even ppl i assumed were cheating. Im talking full on canceled match after canceled match, or a guy on my team running down mid w spinbot and not getting banned. But then again "dude, all riot has to do is rat ur pc to play without cheaters dood. trust me dood i play league theres no cheaters on valorant. Riot wouldnt allow it dood" lel
Wow! Your video is so underrated!! 27K views and only 621 subs!? Crazy... Keep up the good work and the editing was on point!! 💓
I don't like jumping on the copium cheating boat in general because it just kills any improvement mindsets, but i can't deny that there is a growing amount that do, just look at how much people don't hesitate to stream snipe when they can because they know it's a free wallhack without any risks but as these cheats become better that "risk" aspect diminishes and a growing amount start cheating, i've also noticed that as time goes most cheaters are becoming very clever in game doing just enough to guarrantee the win, for e.g being able to perfectly spam through smokes in clutches, or making perfect VCT calls once or twice per half, those are not the cheaters caught by Vanguard or being mass reported as they appear legit, the most annoying aspect of this is that this is part of being a good player and the paranoia this can instill completely remvoves the fun out of the game imo.
EDIT: I'd like to add that people confuse the lack of red screens with the actual number of cheaters that they encountered in their games; red screens mid-game are actually pretty rare overall, and those happen to either obvious or newbie cheaters, not veterans.
Yup. You hit the nail on the head. I cheat and I don't need to drop 40 kills every game and get myself mass reported. I tell my team "Hey guys, one of their players are streaming! I will tell you which site has no sentinel". This is a lie, I actually have wallhacks. Then I proceed to get maybe 1-2 kills per round. Rarely top frag. Average kd, but my win rate is high
no really free wall hacks cause people use delay lol
@@paraenesis I think a lot of streamers dont want to use delay though cause it disconnects them terribly with the chats reactions. They end up just not streaming when grinding. This is why mooda is king.
@@GlenBeale respectfully, I hate you.
i knew a guy who queued with the now banned former rank 1 cheater "going for clip" in swiftplays and im not sure how he managed to get away with it for nearly two acts
We had a dumb Brimstone just yesterday ult us from the other side of the map despite being the last player with no intel, and Op shot us through a wall despite nobody having seen us at that part of the map, as well as a Harbor that did nothing but headshots
We were running double smokes (Omen, Brim,) and double flash (Gekko, Yoru,), so some of these kills were done through smokes and through flash - either headshots from Harbor or Op shots from Brim
We actually won that game because the players themselves had terrible game awareness and they had a more honest but unskilled Chamber to farm kills off of
We got bot players before bot update
I've got a false positive ban some time ago, never got a response back from riot games...
It's so sad to see that legit people can be banned and don't get any attention and cheaters are swarming the game in, also I've notice Valorant is so buggy lately, am an AMD user, my GPU has been bottlenecking a lot, my friend that also has a AMD gpu is also having severe stuttering problems, matchmaking is getting longer to find matches, I'm on the edge to drop the game, It's so sad to see how it has evolved.
Great video man, idk how you don't have 10k + subscribers already
its only less cheaters cuz spoofer is a lil bit harder but those who are desperate go back to cheating immediately
Riot banned me over 2 years ago for third-party usage which is completely false. I’ve made a dozen appeals with all of them getting “solved” with no response whilst real hackers are being untouched.
Same...
when you play in high elo valorant, you can just know when an enemy/ally cheats, some gets banned and some don't.
It is so hilarious how even something like vanguard which is anti-cheat devs doing everything in their power is still completely and utterly useless except for deterring the most basic script-kiddies. And all of these billions spent just so they don't have to pay a couple cents to do server-side anti cheat and not open up security vulnerabilities for their users, the stupidity is immeasurable.
Also HVCI doesn't do shit against ESP
@@dahahaka To be fair to Vanguard, it is stopping loads of script kiddies with low budgets from destroying the game. Unlike CS or other games, some random kid can't spend $10 and have a cheat that takes 100s of games for them to get banned. You typically won't last more than 10 games with budget cheats, often times you will get insta ban upon injection. The cheaters you see who last multiple acts/hundreds of games without bans are typically using expensive and sophisticated cheats like DMA/2pc cheats/hardware/etc. Once you hit Ascendant+, I'd say you will typically run into a cheater once every 10-20 games. Which isn't a lot at all.
@@GlenBeale This is a big thing when it comes to Valorant's AC. People can bitch about it all they want but the number of cheaters is drastically lower than a game like CS because of the way their AC works and how aggressive it is.
@@Noriaela You are right that it is lower, but it's nowhere near 0. Riot have admitted to banning 60k accounts per week in Valorant. And way more in school holidays. So sure there could be way more cheaters ruining the game, but there is still a significant portion that are cheating. I think this could be why they refuse to implement a replay system
@@Noriaela im sorry but valorant cheater number is nearly to cs cheaters. asia server have so many cheater not banned and most of them are play weird. i have tried na and eu its quite good and relaxed and not random compared to asia server especially sg and hk server
My friend who I thought was legit started playing act 1 till act 3 he was gold peak, then suddenly he started getting more and more rank win and I thought he keeps preaching practice and practice but he was just using color aim he got banned in act 8 he was radiant act 5 immortal 6 and 7. He un-added us all and just never talked to us again
I have only had one hacker over 1000 hours of valorant, and the hacks weren’t even noticeable. It’s really not a problem at least for me.
This video is not authentic. It was created months ago and re uploaded only today. Either this is a promotion of the cheats displayed in the video, or this is a scheme to take down and re upload well performing videos.
this just sounds like somebody reading a script from chat-gpt, you need to sound more humane.

Thank you for your comment! I have never used AI. My team and I are working together to improve the quality of the videos!
Best anti cheat game is probably league of legends because the game is so complex that you could probably still beat a cheater.
Cheating is the worst, we had a match last time, no one was visible hacking but as we were 12-7 the enemy was probably hacking and made it basically a draw since if someone is detected, no rewards are given, it was the worst.
All these van restrictions is complete bs. They are going an easy route to tackle the cheating problem, they can stop some new or a pasting cheat dev but those who are experienced can easily bypass these shitty restrictions.
Vanguard is just like other anti cheats and if you have brains, you can easily mess their whole anti cheat easily.
valorant community should wake up and accept the fact that the game has plenty of cheaters
good video bro, regards from Brazil
very nice and informative video!
You deserve much more subscribers. 😎
Vanguard running in the background for nothing.
i mean it makes sense. this game isn't a casual one. you have to be perfect to be decent, and not just aim, but movement to.
Such a good and informative video, I was not looking to get into cheating but this has has helped me understand the ways people cheat and how Riot is preventing it. Definity worth a sub

wish valve was this serious with CS
2024 is literally a cheating epidemic, no normal multiplayer game is safe out here lol
Love the effort theyre doing to fight hackers but theyll never win sadly its just a game of cat and mouse anti cheat changes? Hackers just find another way to bypass.
Thanks for the information. I now know why my friend has superhuman abilities
Im ngl u dont know ab anything bro this is just talking ab cheats/software not what the cheating situation is actually like in val at least for higher elo imm3+
Thanks for your comment! I know, but Vanguard is really strong right now and the number of high elo cheaters is decreasing day by day. In the past, these cheaters could play in high elo for 3-6 months without getting banned by playing legit. However, now this period has become much shorter, and they are getting banned quickly. Beating Riot's anti-cheat is absolutely impossible.
its possible, its cat and mouse game every security have flaws@@cvepsvalorant
Lmao bro fr u dont know anything not hating but vanguard isnt the issue its the devs bro
@@cvepsvalorantand also dma is also mostly undetected there are a lot of ppl who use dma in high elo there are also a few who use it in the t2-t3 scene
@@cvepsvalorant in some ways yea but if you know how to cheat you can last months in high elo and if you get banned you can spoof for cheap and buy a new account :)
no talk abt the dma users that are ruining comp for months now
ive been finding a lot of cheaters lately, 3 red screens just this week
did you make this with chatgpt
I'm pretty sure :c it just sounds like it so much, looping, very top-level info and chatgpt style bullet point lists. I'm guessing he asked it first about different types to make chapters and then asked it specifically for each thing, explaining why he was looping himself.
I don't mind people using LLMs to assist in some creative projects, but this seems like disingenuous regurgitation of a ChatGPT chat log of someone who interested of this topic but too lazy to at least proofread/rewrite any of it.
i think this entire video is ai generated lol
definitely
Thank you for your comment! I have never used AI. My team and I are working together to improve the quality of the videos!
most of these thing you mentioned are actually easily detectable
like a week ago I got into a game with a cheater that would kill the enemy team in 5 seconds and the match carried on normally lol
underrated youtuber
Maybe you don't know but vanguard is not just for preventing cheaters from cheating, it's also for catching them live while cheating. Vanguard has a built-in AI model. With that AI model, vanguard always watching your every move. If you do something impossible or something weird over and over again every round or even every match, it bans you.
Thanks to being an AI, it can see the difference between a human reaction and an aimbot reaction super easily (except for external hardware cheats like a motorized mouse.). No matter how much cheaters try to make cheats look like human reactions, they can't hide it from vanguard. That's why it's not if they get banned, it's when they get banned.
With every ban, riot analyzes that banned cheats and updates vanguard's AI model to detect and ban that cheats as soon as they use it. As the AI model continues to learn about that new cheats it becomes more and more effective and catches more cheaters. And riot updates vanguard more frequently.
Also, vanguard is actually better then people think but because it's an AI, riot adjusts AI's decision parameters to ensure nobody except actual cheaters get banned. So, vanguard plays safe to not ban innocent players. That's why vanguard doesn't ban cheaters instantly. It observes suspected players for a while before banning them to ensure they are %100 cheating and it's not just false positive.
Side note: Player reports affects vanguard's decisions and reporting them will make vanguard more likely to ban them. So, report every suspecious player to help vanguard detecting them.
The main reason I stopped playing these competitive multiplayer FPS games is that they're full of cheaters...
If everyone who wasn't a cheater revolted and stopped playing too, companies would be forced to do something about it, or do you think that a multi-billion dollar company doesn't have the conditions to improve and drastically reduce this absurd amount of cheaters that are happening in games like COD VALORANT and CS... Yes, they do, but this generates $$$ for them
Dude, i dont think the cheaters are the problem, just go into the low elo rank, is full of smurfs
i'm alright at valorant, but the gen z kids in valorant are so harsh to the older gens, callin' a xennial / millennials a boomer. plus the gen z kids in valo are sus af. they'll be like iron 1 but have like immortal or ascendant level aim.
alot of information in just 28minutes crazy
bro how do you only have 500 subs? this is peak
bro is smurfing in youtube😁
hardly peak when a LOT of the things he says are false
i was excited to see this then i watched it and reliesed this guy has no clue what hes talking about its like asking someone thats never watched or played basketball to give you sports bets this guy is clueless and its embarrising
people who cheat deserve to be scammed... scammers are bad, sure... but people who purposely ruin other people's experience in something meant to be fun for everyone... I don't normally like to hate people... but these people push it
could i not ( theorethically) use a macro which detects enemy outline colour and macros to press mouse 1 instantly for triggerbot
thats colorbot
already done and is detected
I mean its so easy to get by
and people wouldnt even know that youre cheating.All you need in just the ESP

cheaters will put more effort into hacking the game then actually getting good
Very interesting vid since i'm very ineducatated in cheats, im sure u'll get much more popular. I have a question, what would be the best proof to show others you are not cheating? For example if a streamer is playing really well and gets accused of cheating, with say a good hand cam that shows his movements, what should he show ideally ( setup, game files, browser history etc.) in order to prove his innocence? Or there are so many cheats that he could be hiding them anywhere, even outside of his system and it would never be possible to identify unless a third party inspects his entire setup or he plays on someone else PC like a lan tournament.
it would be playing a lan event with no time to download anything and people watching them being next to them.
For a streamer, usually a hand cam and a cam of all monitors would usually be enough to prove innocence. Cam of monitors would show that they don't have ESP, and a handcam would show that they don't have aim cheats. Unless they are somehow extremely good at hiding it, the inconsistencies with the handcam would be enough to prove they are cheating. Cheats nowadays can be completely hid from appearing on your main PC, so showing game files would be useless. Showing setup would be more useful as hardware cheats are more popular now.
For a LAN tournament, usually all the equipment never leaves the building, so you would have to SNEAK something in, which is difficult as Riot takes their LAN security very seriously. So basically, cheating does not usually happen on LAN anymore in Riot tournaments.
@@VALORANTBOT-m3s nice, thanks for replying, yea i meant something like LAN tourney would be one of the ways to prove that the player is legit if he performs at the same level.
@@andreilaiter what about my reply? no thanks?
is a low fov colorant even detectable? I feel like there are more cheaters as we think

@@cvepsvalorant you made this exact response in another comment. It doesn't help your case if you have a pre-mediated reaction to anyone who claims this
I know its bad for the game but i personaly use triggerbot in valo and what i lerned is that around asc to immortal there will be a manual check by rito to see if you games are looking normal befor asc and even in immo 2-3 you can cheat all you want (if you dont spin bot make it obv ) and the anti cheat will not ban you specialy if you use only things like trigger bot. My for exampel runs with autohot key and just presses my mous key for me if it sees the righ color and the anti cheat can not see that . The only time (in 1 year of cheating) i was baned is becausw i got in a game with a rito dev (around asc ) and hit one or two shots that are not possibal for humans
didnt you get device banned? how can you play again?
@weswinging 4 months then you sre unbanned and can cheat again not on the Same acc but yeah or you just use Software to get around the ban
@weswinging and it takes legit 5 min to set it up
....
"I'm a loser"
you are completely wrong, you can literally be undetected for so much time. It depends on A LOT of things, stop confusing people that has no idea about this like you.
yep. valorant kids r delusional asf about their fav game and its ac
this video is like a nothing burger bruh. most info are also outdated
Are you dum, ofc he is not going to tell ppl how you can be undetected while cheating? This video is abt how riot has battled cheaters and tbf they have been successful. Name any fos game with better anticheat. You also have to remember that valorant has the biggest demand for cheats due to it's popularity.
i like making cheats for random games because i like having to find bypasses, thats it.
I've cheated on this game since it came out.. but... I've played maybe 8 times in total. Game sucks.
Free Promo I guess, Ty my man since ur vid over 100 ppl joined i really appreciate it. W mans
all kind of games can be infected by cheats its not only on valorant~
LoL , dota ,cs go u name it it can be cheated its just hard to notice
People think valorant has good anti cheat but there are dozens of cheats that are undetected. U can cheat as long as u want it u hide it well. There are so many cheaters in radiant.
Vanguard isn't "level 1" it's ring 0, the lowest official level unless you hack your way into -1 by exploiting a cve or something
Axcthuially the lowlest level is -3 that is the bare metal system level, the CPU and Ram on itself without the OS doing the mediation of processes.
@Wkaelx no shit but good luck getting anything to run in it from within the os lol. You'd need some firmware shit
@@sideloadedwaffle Prob even lower then the UEFI.
Their kernel level anticheat useless basically
The top of the cheater is the one be able to make cheat,but not selling them . Thankfully,there are not a lot of them. Who need radiant level aim and game sense when you have radiant level hacking skill
TBH i want to cheat (kind of) in games. I'm not interested in the actual cheating in game, but how the cheat accesses memory. If someone is an ex cheat dev and wants to reach out please do, I'd love to talk over it.
Cheats defeat the purpose of the game.
Very Good Video!
👎
thats why i report everyone once every match just incase of a cheater no one can tell who is cheating anymore reports get them banned :)
it sounds funny when you try to explain anything technical
bro why doesnt man use more than 10 clips of these hacks bruh
Nice video 👍
That guy you swear is too good. Is in fact. Too good. I report everyone that seems too good and no i’m not coping, this is the truth of this fcking games.
3:22 the people getting aimbotted are normally not the people who are looking to purchase cheats
6:27 okay this video has to be satire, pro players could not use an esp at a LAN event for obvious reasons, and in online games you can't screen peek, what even is this video
anyone who cheats in games, they are probably miserables and disgraceful irl
cheating barely exists in valo immo 3 only got cheaters like couple of times and all got banned so its great anti cheat
started playing valorant a few days ago
everyone who kills me is cheating i shouldn't die at all
I write cheats as a hobby and to learn, not for valorant or any game with a somewhat sophisticated anticheat but i do know vanguard is not that crazy cheats are still very much possible and alive in this game and the people who write cheats will win over time because they just have so many people that can find bypasses and exploits. Cheaters will always be there in any game and that is just a hard fact and you either stop playing the games or you dont and if you stop you are at least sending a message to the company that they should try harder in that department.
