Cheats in videos games

Cheating in video games has been a persistent issue for a long time, with players constantly seeking an unfair advantage through various forms of cheats.

External and internal cheats are the most common methods of fraud, with external cheats modifying game code from outside and internal cheats built into game code or activated by modifying game files. Some cheats take advantage of vulnerable drivers to bypass anti-cheat systems and remain undetected. By exploiting vulnerabilities in drivers, cheats can inject their code into the game's memory or modify game files without being detected by anti-cheat measures. Game developers implement anti-cheat measures to combat cheating and protect the gaming experience for those who want to play fairly. However, new cheats continue to appear regularly, leading to a struggle between cheaters and developers.

To protect against cheats, companies have developed various anti-cheat systems, such as EasyAntiCheat used in games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Rainbow Six Siege, BattlEye used in games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Escape from Tarkov, and Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC) used in Steam games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2. Anti-cheat systems use different technologies to detect cheats and cheating behavior, such as EnumWindows(check windows, read more at the link), file integrity checks, and process and thread monitoring. Some systems also employ machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect suspicious actions and player behavior. Some anticheats can be too aggressive and create problems for legitimate players. For example, some anticheats can "break" the player's game if he has certain configurations or modifications of anything.

The red trust factor system is a rating system used in games like CS:GO and GTA 5 to identify suspicious player behavior and isolate cheaters from regular players. This system uses various data, including game history, device data, and behavioral data, to determine an account's rating. Low-rated players will only play with other low-rated players to improve the game experience for fair players. However, the red trust factor system is not perfect and can sometimes misidentify innocent players as cheaters. In general, anti-cheat measures require ongoing improvement to be more effective and maintain fair gameplay.

Functions of cheats in video games:

  • Aimbot  is a cheat that automatically aims the player's aim at enemies, making it easier to get kills.
  • Wallhack is another type of cheat that allows players to see through walls and other objects, giving them an unfair advantage by revealing the locations of enemies. 
  • Speedhack, as the name suggests, increases the player's movement speed, enabling them to move faster than normal players and dodge attacks more easily.
  • Triggerbot is a cheat that automatically fires at the moment when an enemy gets in the player's crosshairs. This cheat is especially effective when using weapons with low rate of fire, such as sniper rifles.
  • Knifebot is another type of cheat that automatically attacks with a knife when an enemy is within range.
  • There are also cheats that allow players to see more clearly in dark areas, increase their health or armor, regenerate health faster, or even become invincible.

While cheating in video games has been a persistent issue, it's important to note that it can have severe consequences. Additionally, cheating undermines the integrity of the game and can make the experience less enjoyable for other players. It's also worth mentioning that some game developers are taking legal action against cheat providers, making cheating not only unethical but also illegal. 

Drugs in leagues, lol. In 2013, a professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player named Kory "Semphis" Friesen was caught admitting to using Adderall, a prescription drug used to treat ADHD, during a tournament match. The admission was captured on camera during an interview with Semphis and his team after they had won their match. The revelation sparked controversy within the gaming community and brought into question whether the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) was prevalent in esports. In response, tournament organizers began testing players for PEDs, and some leagues implemented stricter rules regarding drug use. While Semphis did not technically cheat by hacking or modifying the game, his admission of using Adderall during a tournament was seen as a breach of fair play and sportsmanship. His case is often cited as an example of the importance of maintaining integrity in competitive gaming. 

One of the most famous cases of cheating in video games involving a loud player is the case of "Forsaken" in the professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) scene. In October 2018, during a match between OpTic India and Revolution, one of the OpTic India players, Nikhil "Forsaken" Kumawat, was caught using an aimbot. When tournament organizers tried to inspect Forsaken's computer, he deleted the cheat software mid-game and physically damaged his PC to prevent further inspection. The incident caused a major scandal in the CS:GO community and led to the disqualification of OpTic India from the tournament.

Another notable case involves the popular game Fortnite and the player XXiF. During the 2019 World Cup Qualifiers, XXiF was accused of teaming, a form of cheating where players collaborate with opponents instead of fighting against them. Many other top players in the Fortnite community called out XXiF's behavior as unfair and detrimental to the competitive integrity of the game. Despite these accusations, XXiF went on to qualify for the World Cup, leading to further outcry from the community.
