Potential aimbot?

Now I’m not one to call out “aimbot, aimbot!” at every player who manages to shoot well lol, but I happened to watch my sister while she’s was playing and something interesting caught my eye.

This is her fileshare. I uploaded the event from the perspective of both blue team (which my sister was on) and the person who allegedly got these kills on red team.

“really now” is what the red player did.
“what” is the result of that.

and “nice aim” comes from a different point in the game, from a different player on red team. I wish I had this ability to get headshots like that. However, I believe the players may have been together, though I am not certain.

Nice Aim is easily explained, in theater, the reticule is completely off in third person, which made it look very suspicious.

Really now looks a lot like an aimbot but because of how laggy the game is, it is hard to comment.

What shows how laggy the game was.

I would completely go with it being lag, aim bots tend to have a rapid fire DMR, increased gravity and movement and the lot, but this guy lacked it.

I thought about lag too, but what I find curious about the red players actions is the fact that he chose to shoot so randomly in the first place. Unless you know what is going to happen, why shoot toward nothing?

At first when I saw what happened to them in the lift I thought it was just some weird lag, but then I noticed that the ENTIRE blue team had been dead at that point but not a single red player had been affected by these random deaths. So I looked through what the red players were doing at that point and this player was just very suspicious.

I was not able to see the game clip since it was not on the file share when I looked, but I have been in that sort of situation before. I would like to think that most of the people I play with are just good (or lucky), but there have been times where I have been shot with no clear line of sight, or some other head scratching moment. If you use an aim-bot, it just means you can’t play good enough to win on your own. I will always take my limited amount of kills that I earn, instead of using a aim-bot any day of the week.

If he or someone on his team had host and a poor connection, then maybe he wasn’t shooting at nothing. Where you see nothing, he may’ve seen enemies.

And while lag that only affects one team is certainly suspicious, it can occur under normal circumstances. For example, if a full party of Australians gets matched against a full party of Americans, then host assignment will determine which team experiences cross-planet lag.

Ah see, but he shoots from the top mid into the middle there which is blocked by whatever that generator thing is haha. He just shoots that, drops down to bottom mid, shoots at some walls, and then gets headshot medals on two people in the lift lol. Unless his lag actually let him see through physical parts of the map, there is no way he saw someone to shoot at from that point.
