Detection reasons
Recoil
Recoil reasons look at what happened to the view after each shot kicked it.
What it means
When a weapon fires, its recoil kicks the view. A player pulls it back down with the mouse. Recoil reasons appear when the kick was undone, or never appeared, without matching mouse movement.
No-recoil and recoil control features remove the kick for the player, so the view stays steady while the mouse barely moves.
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
- Weapon addons with custom recoil or automatic recoil recovery.
- Switching between weapons with and without recoil inside one fight.
- Unusual recoil patterns on a specific weapon. Compare with other players using the same weapons.
Reasons in this category
- Recoil corrected without the mouseKind: MeasuredRight after shots, the view moved back against the recoil faster than the mouse input explains, more than legit players in our reference.Legit causes: Weapon addons with custom recoil recovery can cause this. Compare with other players using the same weapons.
- Recoil snap with no kickKind: MeasuredThe view snapped against the recoil direction while firing, with no visible kick before it and no mouse input to explain it.Legit causes: Weapon addons with unusual recoil patterns can cause this.
- Recoil recovery without the mouseKind: MeasuredAfter sprays, the view drifted back to where it started without matching mouse input, more than legit players in our reference.Legit causes: Some weapon addons recover recoil automatically. Compare with other players using the same weapons.
- Shots with no recoilKind: MeasuredSome shots in this fight had no recoil, while the player's other shots did.Legit causes: Switching between weapons with and without recoil inside one fight can cause 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.
