=BBK= GUIDE TO HOW TO SPOT A CHEAT

This guide has been created to try to help educate players of what to watch for when it comes to players cheating. It has been noted that there is a lot of false accusations and hopefully this guide prevent or at least reduce this happening.
The following cheats listed are certainly not all the cheats but are some of the most commonly used.

We hope you find this guide of use and please do not accuse other players of cheating unless absolutely sure.

GENERAL NOTE

KNOWN BUG ON CHEAT PROGRAMME
The cheat programme that is widely and most commonly used for the purpose of AAO has a bug that can cause players to look at the ceiling or floor upon spawn for several seconds. Be aware that this is not proof of cheating as this can happen without using cheats. However, if this is observed on a player and combined with any of the known cheats listed below then it is probable that the player may be cheating.

AIMBOTS | SHOOTING THROUGH WALLS | NO RECOIL | PERFECT ACCURACY |
NO SMOKE/FLASHBANG EFFECT | NO BREATHING | NO GRENADE RINGING | NO WEAPONS JAMS | GRENADE CROSSHAIR | BUSY STATE CROSS HAIR | SNIPER CROSSHAIR | DISTANCE ID | NIGHT VISION HACK | INFINATE AMMO | WEAPON USE | NO M24 RECHARGE | M203 RAPID FIRE | AUTO RELOAD | AUTO FIRE | WALL HACK | VESTING | NO FOOTSTEPS | SERVER KILLER | INVISILBILITY

Aimbots
GENERAL
Aimbot is designed to go straight to the opponents head so long distance 1 or 2-shot kills (when target is green) are a good way to indicate an aimbot (This does not however prove that aimbot is being used) .

Another method to detect aimbots what is called “cracking” or “snapping” when the aimbot is turned on briefly to find the closest target this can be heard.

Often , when in spectator mode you will see the person looking at the wall/door a lot where an enemy is located on the other side. This can be because of an aimbot because with this cheat the player can “see” through walls and other obstacles. (see shooting through walls below).

With newer versions of aimbot, it is possible that it can be set to target a certain area of the body, usually the head or torso. The aimbot will target that area, but not a specific point. If the player never misses, they are using an aimbot. Even the best players miss once in a while. (This can be observed from spectator mode).

Another way of spotting an aimbot is if the players crosshair follows the victims body to the floor once they are dead. This is primarily because the aimbot is designed to follow until a player is dead…..and the player is not dead until they hit the floor and are completely motionless after a successful kill. So, the aimbot keeps tracking as the body falls.

M203

M203 Aimbot
The m203 aimbot calculates the proper angle for the 203 grenade to be aimed.
By automatic default, the grenade will be aimed at the head, but will not necessarily hit it. Note a direct line of sight is required, the aimbot does not take into account for any obstacles, or if it was to hit and bounce from a wall

GRENADE

Frag Grenade Aimbot
This is the same as the M203 aimbot, but calculates the proper aim angle for the grenade.

SHOOTING THROUGH WALLS |back to top|

The player can shoot through walls. This must be combined with an aimbot. This would be fairly easy to detect. It is possible that this exists in AAO but has not been confirmed.
(please be aware that often on the map pipeline players are not easily spotted in the vents and often people are accused of this cheat).

NO RECOIL |back to top|

No recoil is best detected by looking at bullet hole patterns formed in a wall..
A normal bullet hole pattern will be random and sparse where as a player using no recoil will form a straight line or diagonal line pattern in the wall.
Also in “normal” play as a players health is reduced….so is their accuracy. With no recoil this does not happen…accuracy remains the same.

PERFECT ACCURACY |back to top|

This is very similar to no recoil and can be detected in the same manner as the no-recoil.
However,In newer cheat programs this has been removed. Using the cheat will crash the user’s game if he/she is flash banged. So if you want to detect this one…have your flash bang at the ready!!!

NO SMOKE/FLASHBANG EFFECT |back to top|

Quite simply this is when smoke and flashbangs do not affect the person. This is extremely difficult to detect, because flashbangs and smoke do not always prevent you from seeing the enemy. BE CAREFUL WHO YOU ACCUSE OF USING THIS CHEAT. IT MAY BE FLUKE OR YOU HAVE BAD AIM!

NO BREATHING |back to top|

This is a very hard cheat to detect…this cheat prevents the players Crosshair/Sights from moving up and down while in zoomed mode.

NO GRENADE RINGING |back to top|

Another extremely hard cheat to detect.The ringing sound doesn’t play when a grenade goes off nearby.

NO WEAPONS JAMS |back to top|

This one is impossible to detect and fix jams are random. This cheat stops players weapons from ever jamming.

GRENADE CROSSHAIR |back to top|

A crosshair appears for the player while holding a grenade. This is impossible to detect without screenshots.

BUSY STATE CROSSHAIR |back to top|

A crosshair appears while you are “busy” jumping, crawling, etc.Yet again this is another cheat impossible to detect without screenshots.

SNIPER CROSSHAIR |back to top|

A crosshair appears while zoomed in. Impossible to detect without screenshots.

DISTANCE ID |back to top|

Players can be identified no matter how far away they are. Hard to detect without screenshots but be aware of this cheat especially in long distance and night time maps.

NIGHT VISION HACK |back to top|

Night vision is seen full screen instead of through the binocular style view. Hard to detect without screenshots.

INFINATE AMMO |back to top|

The user’s weapon never runs out of ammo. This basically re-fills clips when reloading. This is very hard detect unless you feel like monitoring and counting the number of bullets a person fires.

WEAPON USE |back to top|

Weapon Use While (Jumping, Fast Crawling, Lowering/Raising Weapon, Rolling)
The player should not be able to fire while doing the above actions. This cheat is easy to note just by spectating.

NO M24 RECHARGE |back to top|

Normally there is a two second recharge before the m24 can be fired again.
Easy to detect if rapid m24 shots are being heard or seen.

M203 RAPID FIRE |back to top|

Allows rapid, infinite m203 grenades. Easy to detect due to high rate of fire (as we all know how long these take to reload!!!)

AUTO RELOAD |back to top|

Allows the player to reload while firing. This can be observed as you will not hear the reload sound whilst observing a player. If a player is able to reload immediately after every clip is empty, it is possible they are using this hack.

AUTO FIRE |back to top|

Turns any weapon used into an automatic, and optionally fires when the crosshair is pointing at an enemy. Can be detected by unusual high rate of fire when using a sniper rifle or M16A2 or the M4. (this cheat is commonly combined with the auto reload cheat)

WALL HACK |back to top|

Walls are semi-transparent allowing the player to see right through the walls. Can be detected if player is “tracking” other players through walls, or with screenshots.

VESTING |back to top|

The vesting cheat gives a player apparent invulnerability. While the player may not be completely invulnerable and will die if enough damage occurs, it will seem that way. Apparently the player’s health is somehow boosted or locked..If the player doesn’t die no matter how much damage they get he or she may be using this hack .PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE A FEW BUGS ON AAO……..for example sometimes when 203 is fired a player is unscathed……if this happens several times then the cheat could be in question. This can also happen with bullets and nades. Obviously if this is ongoing then it is probable that this cheat is being used..
Same goes for sniper rifle. If the sniper is good with one shot one kills, and cant kill the player, even with multiple shots, the player is once again most likely using the hack.

NO FOOTSTEPS |back to top|

It is rumoured that this cheat is being used in AAO but not yet proven. It quite simply removes your foot step sound so other players can’t hear you.
Can be detected through spectate mode while player is walking.
Note there is a bug in AA that sometimes a player won’t have any foot steps for that round……………..also on occasions valves can be turned with no sound…this is also a glitch.

SERVER KILLER |back to top|

The player is able to crash the server, booting all players.
A sharp lag from the player will occur just before the server crashes.

INVISIBILITY |back to top|

Another cheat rumoured to exist on AAO. The player’s body is invisible, only the gun or nades can be seen. Easy to detect from observation mode. (be aware yet again that in the pipeline map opponents can not always be seen in the vent, does not mean that this hack is being used)

These are a few of the most commonly used cheats/ hacks but certainly not all. This information was obtained out of the cheat programme manuals and No AAO cheats were actually used in the making of this guide.
