An aimbot (sometimes called Ai
uto-aim") is a type of computer game bot used in multiplayer first-person shooter games to provide varying levels of automated target acquisition to the player. While most common in first person shooter games, they exist in other game types and are sometimes used colloquially with a TriggerBot, which shoots automatically when an opponent appears within the field-of-view or aiming reticule of the player.
uto-aim") is a type of computer game bot used in multiplayer first-person shooter games to provide varying levels of automated target acquisition to the player. While most common in first person shooter games, they exist in other game types and are sometimes used colloquially with a TriggerBot, which shoots automatically when an opponent appears within the field-of-view or aiming reticule of the player.
Aimbotting relies on the fact that each player's client computer receives information about all the other players, whether they are visible from the player's position on the playing field or not. Targeting is simply a matter of determining the location of any opponent relative to the player's location and pointing the player's weapon at the target. This targeting works regardless of whether the opponent is behind walls or too far away to be seen directly. If the game being played allows bullets to penetrate surfaces with reduced damage (such as later games in theCall of Duty franchise), the code can be manipulated to cause the bullets to penetrate an infinite amount of material and damage can be adjusted to guarantee a kill regardless of where the bullet lands. This severely magnifies the unfair advantage the aimbot would provide. Some aimbots also use a strategy of "you shot first": they would know where you are and run right past a player and wait for a player to shoot at them then spin around and kill the player.
Some servers allow inactive players to spectate, watching the game from the viewpoints of the active players. Recording of gameplay actions is also often possible. If someone was using a targeting aimbot, the bot would be plainly obvious to the spectator as unnatural exact position tracking. Certain aimbots attempt to hide this obvious target selection by using a technique called "Silent Aim" which is mainly used in Call of Duty games. By using this method, aimbots are able to target and kill enemies without showing the tracking of traditional aimbots. Some aimbots and triggerbots are blatant while others attempt to hide from spectators the fact they are being used through a number of methods, such as delaying firing to hide the fact it shoots the instant an opponent is in the cheater's crosshair. Some Triggerbot programs can be easily toggled on and off using the mouse or keyboard.
Aimbots are not to be confused with Aim-Assist that game developers have controversially incorporated into games (Halo and Call of Duty franchise games have baked in aim assist). Aimbots are different because they tend to work with 3rd party code on a number of different parameters from what Aim-Assist uses to function. Aim-Assist is typically included with intent to assist a player not with target acquisition, but target tracking. This tactic is very popular among console game developers because of the inherent lack of precision with the analog stick on the authorized controllers. The larger (or louder) controversy is when developers allow for aim-assist on PC games where the precise mouse is already available, many PC gamers feel "cheated" that the "hack" is in the game.
As above, aimbots can be readily apparent when people use them, and they can be refined, but some have chosen to pursue different mechanics in the name of stealth. In the last few years, 3rd party code that replicates Aim-Assist as seen in those games, but with the purpose of applying them as a cheat for games that do not include Aim-Assist as a native feature (such as the Counter Strike franchise on PC). Even on websites the distributors of such cheats make the distinction of Aim-Assist from aimbots because the cheat performs a specific action.
It is worth noting, however, that some cheat programs are a suite of many different features, incorporating many or all of the above as well as including options for ESP and other cheats such as affecting player movespeed, ammocount, always-on radar or enemies on map, etc., and such a suite can be colloquially called an "aimbot program", much the way Kleenex has become a common word for all tissue paper.
