CS:GO - Revenge on Cheaters Never Tasted so Good

Internet user known as ScriptKid created a fake hack for CS:GO, which, in various ways, makes life difficult for those who install it.

About a thousand cheaters in CS:GO got their due.

IN A NUTSHELL:

  1. Player ScriptKid created a fake hack that makes life difficult for cheaters in CS:GO;
  2. The software spoils the fun in a number of different ways - for example, it forces the cheater to shoot at their teammates, makes it difficult to aim, wastes money and prevents them from disarming bombs;
  3. ScriptKid spent $600 to make the program appear on Google as the most popular solution for cheaters.

One player spent $610 to take revenge on cheaters in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. User ScriptKid created software that makes life difficult for cheaters in various ways, and sends the creator recorded replays of their deaths. The user uploaded the app to the web as a cheat program and paid Google for positioning to make sure that those looking for similar things would find their way to its website.

Ingenious ways to punish a cheater

It must be admitted that the player in question found some original ideas for punishing people who spoil the fun of others. Some of these ideas work automatically, and some of them are activated at certain points in the battle or when the cheater reaches a point on the map marked in the software.

NoPlantOrDefuse penalty.

What kind of "punishments" have been prepared for scammers? There are a lot of them. Let's start with the fact that the software created by ScriptKid can stop the bomb from being disarmed at the last moment, while playing the sound that normally accompanies its disarming.

Cheaters using this "hack" at the beginning of each match automatically spend money on the most useless weapons, and by shooting on full auto they have a 50% chance to drop their whole arsenal (another penalty works similarly, but it activates always and for each weapon).

DoYouEvenAimBro penalty.

In turn, when using a sniper rifle, cheaters have to deal with inverted mouse settings. In some situations, the software can also suddenly dramatically increase the sensitivity of the controls, make it jump all the time or make it very difficult to aim (something like an inverted aim bot - the sight moves away from the enemy as soon as we are about to get our sights on them). Additionally, the "hack" causes that by throwing the grenade the chater may automatically drop it under their own feet.

The funniest penalty, however, is called BloodBrothers. It causes us to automatically take a shot every time we have a teammate at gunpoint. Of course, it often leads to getting kicked out of the game by other team members. Scenes where we see confused cheaters, unaware of what is happening who run away from their comrades are pure gold.
