Detection reasons
Aim
Aim reasons look at how the player's view moved compared with their mouse, especially while they were firing.
What it means
A player's view should follow their mouse. Aim reasons appear when the view turned, stepped or locked onto a target in a way the recorded mouse movement doesn't explain.
Aimbots and aim assists move the view for the player, so the view and the mouse stop agreeing. The model compares this with legit players in the same kind of fight.
Unusual input is not proof
A reason tells you where to look, not what to decide. Read the caveat, watch the replay around the marker, and check whether other players on your server show the same reason before you ban.
Common legit causes
- Weapons that move the view when fired, through recoil or sway.
- Server scripts and view effects that turn a player's view.
- Changing sensitivity or zoom in the middle of a fight.
- Very fast flicks, which do happen in legit play. One instance is weak evidence.
Reasons in this category
- Steady turn the mouse doesn't explainKind: RuleWhile firing, the view kept being pulled toward one side, and the player's mouse movement doesn't account for it. Aim assistance looks like this.Legit causes: Server scripts that move a player's view can cause this. Watch the replay around the marker.
- Aim offset held while firingKind: RulePressing fire moved the view by itself, and releasing fire moved it back. The player's mouse movement doesn't account for it.
- Turns while firing the mouse doesn't explainKind: MeasuredWhile firing, the view turned sideways more than the mouse input accounts for, more often than legit players in our reference.Legit causes: Weapons that move the view sideways when fired can add to this. Compare with other players using the same weapons.
- View steps that don't match the mouseKind: MeasuredBefore hits, the view moved in ways the player's mouse doesn't account for, more often than legit players in our reference.Legit causes: Changing sensitivity or zoom in the middle of a fight can add to this.
- Instant target lockKind: MeasuredThe view reached a target faster than legit players in our reference, in a single moment rather than a human-like movement.Legit causes: Very fast flicks happen in legit play. One instance is weak evidence on its own.
- View moves on hits without the mouseKind: MeasuredWhen shots hit, the view moved more than the mouse input explains, more than legit players in our reference.Legit causes: Weapon recoil and server view effects can add to this.
- View turned against the mouseKind: MeasuredThe view sometimes turned the opposite way to the mouse, more often than legit players in our reference.Legit causes: Recoil and server view effects can briefly turn the view against the mouse.
- View drift between shotsKind: MeasuredBetween shots, the view kept moving with no mouse input, more than legit players in our reference.Legit causes: Weapon sway and server view effects can add to this.
How to read a reason
Each cheating detection lists what stood out in the capture under Why this was detected on the detection page. Every reason has a kind and a strength.
- Rule: input that a normal mouse and keyboard can't produce. Legit setups rarely trigger one, but server addons sometimes do.
- Measured: behaviour compared with how legit players act in their fights. It is unusual, not impossible.
- Strength: Slightly unusual, Unusual or Very unusual, depending on how rarely legit players show the same thing.
