Does aimbot also target mines/shurikens? I was in a match with a guy (Not going to name and shame without proper evidence) and right after he killed me he would automatically/ very quickly shoot my mine/shurikens very accurately and seemingly without recoil. There was also a time when I threw a mine into a doorway and it got shot in the air... I'd figured it was a lucky shot but the person who shot it stopped shooting right after and wasn't spraying beforehand either.

Also, does aimbot have to be headshots or can it also shoot in the chest? Sometimes I'll be in-game with a crappy player and then it's like they'll get extremely good suddenly and for some reason the server begins lagging...

I'm just curious, but I'm not going to name anyone until I myself get proper evidence (It seems like my game crashes everytime I suspect someone of cheating! GRR!! I'll get you possible cheaters on video one of these days!).

Usually, half-assed ones (or ones made by people just figuring things out for the first time) only target a specific area (either the head or chest) and target the nearest player even through the environment.

Actual good ones (the ones that cause this endless cat-and-mouse game between anticheat software and software for cheating) will be set up to target areas of the user's choosing (head, neck, left/right arm/hand/leg, chest, hip) and an option for tracking visible or non-visible targets, as well as a way to adjust the angle at which it detects players (rather than a 360 degree detection radius you could limit it to 15 degrees or 30 degrees, think like those "vision cones" used to represent line of sight in old stealth games).

As far as actually targeting things like thrown mines/grenades/shurikins/etc in midair, last I bothered to check there wasn't one available that targeted those (if anything it would just highlight them to be visible when active on the ground, or some sort of warning you're near one). But it can be done.

Once the game's source code is changed it should render what's currently available useless, but the issue then will be making it harder to reverse the game's source code again and make new software.


Edit: And in case you're wondering, yes, all those times that a game room fails suddenly at the end of a game is because there's a way to crash the rooms.

I see.. That's a really helpful response, and now a lot of things make sense.

Even though it's software they're still bound to the game's rules - can't shoot through shields or the walls, the player's vision will still be obstructed by things like EMP and shock grenades (though the software will still do the targeting, can make for a good trap setup).

Managed to have one person using an aimbot back up into a mine I had placed since they were targeting at my head behind a shield.

i hate hackers ( i guess we all do )

Is there also a program for disconnecting someone's internet while they're in a match to effectively remove them from the game? Because It's happened to me twice today :/

Only my current PC was disconnected, everything else was working fine and this never happens... It's suspicious becuase both times someone was raging at me either saying "this is bs!" or "P2W ♥♥♥♥♥♥" and I was crashed from the game + disconnected from the internet soon after killing said persons.

Depends on the game. With what's public no, so it's possible it's just coincidence however just like with games like CoD and such you can have people that manage to figure out an IP and use a DoS method to disrupt your service. The thing with that is that it'd affect any device connecting to the internet from that IP - having it affect just a single computer on a network while leaving others alone shouldn't be possible.

Careful what you are saying! someone might try what you say.

Like I mentioned previously, them having to change the game's source code is a good thing. Most of the time these things happen it's often done by "script kiddies", as they're called. Having software for packet analysis (cough wireshark cough), and a bit of practice on identifying when someone's actually performing a DoS on your public IP, and a bit of no how on how things work, and you can find the public IP of the person doing it (DoS doesn't hide their IP as it isn't distributed, thus the difference between DoS and DDoS).

And since DoS/DDoS is a crime, you can get in contact with law inforcement if you so desire.

but since i do not know how to catch an IP if i get DoS i wont be able to call the law ....

A quick call to your ISP and explaining the situation usually can get things resolved in a short amount of time if you're ever on the recieving end of something like that. At best those kind of things are just a minor annoyance and don't do any real "harm" (if you aren't talking about say a business losing money because people can't connect to their service and such).

i see thx

Sh... It happens.

[Dr. Atrocious]

And it happened again... But this time I know who :)
So, do I report them to PWE, the blacklist, or hardsuit labs?

For now probably just PWE's support since they actually have the more involved information regarding the IPs used to access accounts and such - the blacklist is community run so they can't really do anything (especially since they have no ability of managing users), and as mentioned before HSL's change to the source code means the software the person is using will become useless for a while.

Alright. Thanks.
