CS:GO Software Messes With Hackers In The Best Way
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive content creator "ScriptKid" has taken the fight against cheaters into his own hands. Often coming up with ways to troll cheaters, he has now implemented a hilarious anti-cheat troll software, which screws with hackers in the best way imaginable.
The YouTuber created his own website which hosted free "cheats" for CS:GO, and using google adverts, managed to become the number one hit for the search terms. Many cheaters started downloading his software, which was specifically designed to malfunction.
Once a cheat was used, the replay files would also be made available to ScriptKid, who shared the hilarious content on his latest video.
Each cheat was coded to cause havoc for the player, often resulting in their character being killed in-game. The anti-cheats varied in complicity and effectiveness but were all designed to fail for the user.
The simplest was whenever a player would go to open a door, it would remain locked, and they were met by a loud knocking as if somebody was on the other side wanting to come in. Another non-lethal ploy was filling weapons with blanks, meaning when a player was aiming down sights with a sniper, the sound of his gunshot would go off, but no bullet would leave the barrel. This often meant opponents would turn around for a free kill. Finally, the anti-cheats were coded so that players will randomly drop their weapons, causing mass confusion.
Some deadly anti-cheats had players' own lethal grenades exploding when they intended to throw them, which would send the user straight to the spectating screen. The "Burning Man" worked for frag grenades, molotov, and semtex.
The most elaborate anti-cheat was the "Mind Control", which took the control of the character away from the player. Activated by invisible tripwires, it would either inverse player's control, create 20 seconds on crippled speed, or control their mind. The latter would cause a flashbang to go off and the player would lose control. The character would then move on their own, often jumping off the map on Vertigo.
The 9-minute long video is worth a viewing, watching CS:GO cheaters backfire and perish themselves.
