Overwatch: What category is a triggerbot?

[p4p]

I had the pleasure of doing an overwatch case, and the dude was using a triggerbot and nothing else (that I were sure of). I know what type of hack he used but now I'm unsure what category to put this in. Is it Aim assistance, visual, other?

A triggerbot is a hack that shoots for you when your crosshair is on the enemy.
1) It has to do about shooting, but not the aiming part, so thats out.
2) It made him shoot people through smokes consistently, but it's hard to say if the cheater saw through them or if it only were the triggerbot. So it's not really a visual assistance.
3)Then we have Other. Among the examples are speedhack and bunny jumping scripts. By exclusion a triggerbot belongs in Other, but it doesn't seem that clear. It is certainty not anything like speed hacks and bunny scripts.

If I have understood the overwatch system correctly overwatchers get a score based on their reliability, it's crucial to the system that the reliable overwatchers has a high score to reflect that. I could see a triggerbot hacker being voted any of the above categories (or a combination), which would hurt the precision of the system and potentially make hackers through un-banned.

I hope Valve will make this clearer in the future.
Oh, and I voted Other in the end. Where do you think triggerbots belong?

They belong under Aimbot

[nickwithtea]

anything that aims/shoots for you is under aimbot

[Mantikore]

Can I ask: how does one figure out if its a trigger bot? What do you look for?

[p4p]

To quote that verdict screen: "..clearly demonstrating that The Suspect used external software to improve their aim, e.g. automated targeting, recoil reduction or elimination, etc."
I feel a triggerbot should belong in the same category as aimbots, but with the current wording it does not. At least it's unclear.

I'd recommend putting it under aimbot and/or other.

[p4p]

And thats my point exactly. It's up to interpretation and thus a weakness in the system.

I wouldn't say it shoots for you, but I'm thinking there's specific settings on certain "triggerbots" to make it seem more legit. I've watched a few cases in the past where the suspect will miss shots intentionally it seemed, and got off a perfect one shot very quickly, very consistently round after round. I'm lead to believe individuals make binds of a certain "triggerbot" to instantly one click them at any given moment even if the crosshair isn't near them. I've seen a few full aimbots from users where they didn't need to aim the crosshair, it'd automatically headshot players while just looking around normally, no aim-jerking to face or anything.

Cheats such as those (the binded triggerbot) is harder for investigators to detect due to them seeming more legit with aiming. There's a lot of random in this game, and a lot of cheats. You just have to consider all the possibilities.

I think, that decisive majority of overwatchers feels the right answer - aim assistance, but i get that most of the ppl in a smoke scenario would think its a WH.

Trigger bots work by firing when your xhair is over the enemy. The mouse movement is controlled by the player, so the player actually places the xhair over the target and then it instantly fires. If they trace over someone through a wall and it pops off a shot instantly, that would be a trigger bot.I guess it would be best used by having you xhair on a single spot that you know the enemy has to pass through, and then it it will look like you fired the shot at the right time. Its usually combined with a wallhack because you need to know ahead of time where to place your xhair. Triggerbot is definately aim assistance, and more than likely being used with a wall hack. I'd imagine it would primarily be used with the awp.

a triggerbot is used to hack teh cs go so that you will have an unfair advantage over others using someone elses coded program to assist you in the aimining of your gun that is all.

[ಠ_ಠ]

I file it under other. It doesn't assit with their aiming just their reaction.

[mUnky]

it's obviously an aim assistance tool.. shooting is part of aiming.

A trigger bot scans the game and as soon as the crosshair is pointed on an enemy hitbox, it triggers a shot.

-> Look out for impossible shots (instant kills on the first peek, kills through smokes or while flashed etc). Those people often use the AWP too because it's a one hit kill.

If they are 1 tapping constantly, and only actually shooting when the crosshair is on, say if its jittering, its trigger.
