According to user @anticheatPD on reddit, two of the most popular cheats for VALORANT were detected by Vanguard, then their servers shut down, leaving its users (more than 4,500 cheaters who had paid for subscriptions up to $ 600) with only tears.
Besides the double satisfaction that can be derived from this information (fewer cheaters, and on top of that, they get it deep down), it's interesting to see how we got to this point.
Looking at the conversations that the author of the post gave, we know that the cheat was initially free (or at least one of its versions) and was working from the start of the April beta.
The developer had indicated that one should not distribute the program or post information on forums or sites with a large audience to avoid detection.
Obviously, it did not fail, someone posted it on one of these forums and the anti-cheat development team detected it, leading to waves of hardware bans, including among others the one relayed in May
Whether it was a troll or a cheater who posted it online will remain a mystery.
The craziest thing is to see that players who have sometimes paid fortunes in skins, cheat at the risk of being banned.
Either way, the paid version of the app then becomes the only way to access the cheat - very good quality according to its hapless users. It seems that you absolutely needed a connection to a server before each game to retrieve the software, perhaps to change the code and make it less easily detectable.
An excerpt from Discord shows a rate of $ 13 per day or an amount of $ 600 "for life".
Then users of the cheat complain about bans in June and then in July, without knowing whether it is because of reports from other players or detections of the anti-cheat.
At the beginning of January, Vanguard detects the software and finally identifies the developer. Riot Games (along with Bungie for Destiny 2) is suing him, and cuts the servers.
Following this, the conversations of cheaters crying and screaming out is a real delight. However, we can regret that this time, they have not (yet) been banned ...
