How To Avoid Bans When Using Cheats

How to Maintain a Low Detection Rate

In this guide, we’ll walk through proven methods for keeping your detection risk as low as possible while using our cheats. Many players jump in expecting instant domination — and while that temptation is understandable, reckless usage is the fastest way to get banned.

Before you start, it’s important to understand how cheats should be used intelligently if you want long-term success.

Our experience comes from thousands of combined hours across competitive titles. We’ve played Call of Duty since early seasons with hundreds of hours on main accounts, as well as reaching Master rank in Apex Legends — all without receiving bans.

So how is this possible? Below are the exact principles we follow.

This guide is divided into three key areas:

• 1. Aimbot Configuration & Usage
• 2. ESP (Wallhack) Behavior
• 3. Kill/Death & Win Ratio Management

• Aimbot Usage

  The safest way to use an aimbot is by keeping it subtle. We recommend a low field of view — typically around 15–17 FOV, depending on the cheat. If you’re unsure, our support team can advise you on optimal values.

  Smoothness should be set as high as possible. This transforms the aimbot into a strong aim assist rather than an obvious snap. When gameplay is reviewed, your aim appears natural and unremarkable — exactly what you want.

  This approach not only lowers detection risk, but also improves consistency and long-term performance.

• ESP (Wallhack) Deception

  The golden rule of ESP usage: play as if you don’t have it. Never track enemies through walls or move directly toward players you shouldn’t logically know about.

  Only engage enemies once they are visible. ESP should be used for awareness — escaping bad situations, choosing better positioning, or estimating how many opponents are nearby.

  If your gameplay is reviewed, there should be no moments that suggest information you couldn’t reasonably have.

• KD Ratio & Win Rate Control

  Starting fresh with cheats can feel intoxicating. Dominating every match and wiping entire lobbies is fun — but it’s also one of the most common reasons players get banned.

  From our internal data, the vast majority of bans occur due to excessive stat inflation. You are not meant to win every game or eliminate every opponent.

  Occasionally losing matches and having average games is not a weakness — it’s protection. Maintaining realistic stats is far more important than short-term domination.

While we prioritize cheat safety at every level, no method is entirely risk-free. Abuse is the leading cause of bans, not the cheat itself. Use features responsibly and think long-term.

Those are all the tips we have to share. Follow them closely, stay disciplined, and you’ll dramatically increase your chances of remaining undetected while enjoying your experience.
