Aimbots in Valorant are cheats designed to automatically aim at opponents, giving users an unfair advantage by improving their accuracy significantly. Here’s a detailed explanation of how aimbots typically work:

1. Data Interception

Aimbots start by intercepting game data. This involves capturing information about the positions and movements of all players on the map. Similar to wallhacks, the game client receives data about enemy positions from the server, which aimbots exploit.

2. Memory Reading and Writing

Aimbots read the game’s memory to get real-time data on player positions, health, and other critical information. They then write new data into the game’s memory to control the aiming mechanism. This process involves:

• Reading memory: The aimbot continuously scans the game’s memory to locate enemy players and track their movements.
• Writing memory: The aimbot modifies the player’s aim by writing new values into the game’s memory, aligning the crosshair with the enemy.

3. Screen Analysis

Some aimbots use screen analysis techniques. This involves capturing the screen in real-time and using image recognition algorithms to detect enemies. This method is less common but can bypass some anti-cheat systems that monitor memory access.

4. Mouse Input Manipulation

Aimbots simulate mouse movements to aim at targets. By sending precise mouse input commands to the game, they can control the player’s aim without directly manipulating game memory. This method is harder to detect because it mimics legitimate player input.

5. Prediction Algorithms

Aimbots often incorporate prediction algorithms to account for movement and lag. These algorithms predict where an enemy will be based on their current speed and direction, ensuring that the aimbot can lead shots in fast-paced scenarios.
