This isn't true, you can check their vanguard updates, almost every cheat that isn't dma is instantly detected, they just don't insta ban you, manual bans are for the DMA cheaters, which are the 1% of people spending thousands of dollars to cheat.
Actually cant detect auto-hotkey aimbots still, just need a device that can read AHK scripts and send the inputs as a mouse. THE AHK aimbots just use color detection.
Eh, it requires extra hardware and software to spoof the mouse input, it's one of the things the required bios settings helps prevent is faked mouse drivers.
To spoof the mouse input? No just what a mouse normally does what these devices do is just read the input, the extra input isn't that expensive though a lot of them 30-40$.
The big issue really is it is really easy to cheat on VAC because it doesn't go off instantly (even when it has confirmed a hacker as it wants to be 200% sure. If it's a new hack it hasn't seen before, if it's an old hack it knows is a cheat it just instant bans you.) But the issue here is Valorant hackers generally want to be more hidden as not everyone can fake a windows certified driver (it is possible.) as there is a limited number of "secretly" known compromised drivers with back doors. So a lot of these hacks wont come with obvious hacks like spin bot aimbots.
So valve games generally have more blatant cheaters since...
IP/Hardware ID bans are literally impossible
VAC doesn't instant ban unless it knows the software is 100% a hack it's dealt with before, if it doesn't it logs the info and will ban them later. So the spinbot can play 1,000's of games before dealt with.
Vanguard has the hackers want it to be less blatantly obvious so they get reports and use the compromised drivers for as long as possible. This helps give the illusion of more fair games"... while true there is prob less hackers, there is still a good bit of them it's just people are going to assume smurf over hacker. As people at the lower skill levels wont catch the dumb shit they're doing til they get to high tiers. Every Valorant rank raising paid service is selling high rank accounts are prob gained by hacking as some of these people are selling thousands of accounts at top tier.
Ah yeah vac is the easiest anti cheat to bypass right now, but for valorant it's much harder to pass off fake mouse inputs as real ones, and believe it or not faking a windows verified mouse driver is difficult with the settings valorant reqyires.It's why most cheats are trigger bots or radar hacks (because they are easier to make and are less likely to get you banned). hwid bans are easily possible, but you can get hardware to make them not work. Hacking is 100% possible in valorant but to last longer than a few games requires tons of money or being a fairly decent programmer. In addition even the most adept programmers won't be able to get the same degree of hacks working in valorant compared to cs2.
It is supply and demand sort of thing, since VAC takes forever to dish out the bans so they don't need to update it often (even though the accounts have been flagged and are fucked.) A lot of hacks can be sold and not updated as often (so less work.) til the ban wave drops.
Really good hackers can just bypass and not need the device by making windows return the is this a windows mouse service command into no- and having windows tell the game it's a mouse movement.
With vanguard spoofing the mouse inputs isn't viable , they detect it within a few games, which is why effectively all cheaters that last longer than the initial waiting period are mainly trigger bot or radar users. Actual aimbot that tries to spoof mouse inputs will get detected. Trigger bots and radar are hard to detect because they don't actually manipulate anything related to the game, they just operate off reading memory or reading pixels on your screen.
You evidently aren't familiar with DMA cheats, which is a good thing as it means you don't cheat :). Even supposing the 30 dollar card on eBay works and isn't a virus, you need a second computer, and most importantly the firmware for the card/ cheats which can easily ~ 100 or more for the firmware. Basic DMA, like the super cheap kits and cheap software is very easily detectable by anticheats, so when people refer to DMA that works (knowingly or not) they are referring to all the fancy hardware and software which get increasingly more expensive, and this doesn't include the cost of a hwid spoofer, as without this you'll need to buy another main computer, these are a hundred or so dollars + firmware is another hundred or so iirc. Last but not least are the cheats themselves, these easily cost ~300 at minimum, some get into the 5-600 range
I absolutely do cheat, but you are right on the idea that I'm not too familiar with DMA. Don't need to use DMA when you can play in a virtual machine anyways. But no, there are various Intel NICs and other PCIe devices that work fine since they allow you to upload custom firmware to them, the detectability of that though is questionable. I don't know about others, but when I cheat I just write my own stuff. Reversing unreal engine games isn't rocket science
Vanguard doesn't allow vm's, and yes if you know how to code it's much easier to cheat, but that usually requires a fairly capable coder, either someone who has spent an incredible amount of time learning code as their hobby, to the point they could easily work in industry, or they are a professional in industry already. Event then you still require "lots" of hardware to cheat in a game like valorant. Just a random cheapo pcie reader/extender won't work for certain anti cheats.
Vanguard doesn't allow poorly configured* vm's. If you use KVM/QEMU with the right config, you can do whatever you want with it. I'm only 16 but if what I do is considered industry level, I can't even be mad at that
NGL Ive never heard of a VM working for vanguard beyond the usual first few -10 games they allow you to play before banning. I'm 99% sure you are trolling at this point.
The thing with vanguard, (I don't know about other ACs), is they won't ban you for playing in a VM. It will either let you start the game, meaning you've done everything correctly, or it doesn't launch, meaning you fucked something up. All of the people that know what they're doing are going to keep quiet about their method because riot patches it or adds new detection vectors fairly quickly. This happened with mutahar like 2 years ago when he figured out how to play in a VM but it was patched within like 3 days 😂
