A cheater (cheater, from English to cheat - to cheat, cheat) is a player who uses modified or specially created programs to gain a significant advantage over other participants in the gameplay.
Instructions
Step 1
The main goal of cheating is to get one easily and quickly, which will take much longer to achieve in an honest way. For example, if a player wants to get good statistics to be accepted into some clan, then he can go in two ways: either train for a long time and improve his playing skills, or just start the program and become almost invulnerable.
Step 2
The emergence of software tools that provide such capabilities is due to the availability of the source code of the game files. At the same time, access can be obtained in two ways: legal (the codes were specially opened by the developers) and illegal (leakage, hacking, theft and distribution on the Internet).
Step 3
Cheaters are also present in singles games. True, they will not be able to bring any harm anyway, since they use "dishonest" methods only against game bots. Some developers specifically create codebases to get certain features. For example, in most GTA games.
Step 4
One of the most common cheats in online shooters is AIM. The bottom line is that the player does not need to aim at critical points of opponents at all, the program does everything for him. In this case, the rate of fire can be several times higher. Imagine that you just saw the enemy, and already completely lost your health.
Step 5
Another popular variation is WallHack or WH. This cheat allows players to see through walls and other obstacles. Again, this deception was widespread mainly in shooters. However, many other games use it for their own purposes. For example, in strategies, an unexplored map automatically becomes open.
Step 6
SpeedHack is also popular. The speed of the cheater becomes very, very high. Other players may not even notice his movements. If you combine the action of this cheat with AIM, you get a character that can eliminate all players on the map in a matter of seconds.
Step 7
EP or Extrasensory Perception is a program that allows you to find out all the data about an opponent. In strategies - the location, the disposition of the troops, the presence of certain buildings. In shooters - weapons, the number of cartridges in the clip, health, etc. This cheat is very difficult to figure out as it is not always clear if the user is cheating or just playing well.
Step 8
There are also programs that protect against screenshots that can bring the player to clean water. If the administrator takes a picture, he will receive either a version where the use of prohibited programs is not visible, as well as a damaged or altered image.
