Cheating Like a Pro. Tips for Avoiding Overwatch Bans!

This guide will be mainly how to avoid Overwatch bans, and look like a legit player. As someone with 800+ hours of never being banned, I will offer tips of my own, along with other common tips on how to avoid being banned. I am writing this guide because I have been a lurker on this website for a little while, and I would like to give back in some manner. Let's get started!


Tip #1: Let's get some of the basic stuff out of the way here. Don't prefire enemies that you had no intel were going to be there. Absolutely do no follow enemies through walls, this will give you away immediately. Don't kill people while flashed or smoked. If you are smoked, spam bullets into the smoke but make sure that some of them miss. Someone getting constant kills through smoke is very fishy.

Tip #2: Now, another common tip, but I am going to explain the huge significance it has on your chances on getting banned. Allow yourself to die. Lets say you are a CT on Dust. The bomb is planted on a, and you are going to go through mid doors to cat. No one on your team knows, but there was a lurker who went to lower dark and is sitting there. You would have had no idea that he was there. There are two things you can do in this situation. The first thing is just take the death. Sometimes it may be hard, and you may be forced to lose a round, but if you want to avoid being overwatched, let yourself die. The second thing you can do is prep your brain. You may not be facing that guy, but you are ready to a spin and try to kill him best you can. I think that the biggest advantages of wallhacks is the psychological effect it gives on your gameplay. By doing this, it is like a prefire in the sense that you bypass reaction time. You are 100% ready to kill this guy once he reveals himself by shooting at you, which is truly powerful, more so than you might think.

Tip #3: Give your teammates advice without sounding like someone who knows more than they do. I don't know how many rounds I've won on Inferno because I told someone on my team to make sure there was no one dark. Seriously, the biggest impact of wallhacks is the intel you get from doing it. Just like before, how we use the wallhacks to prep our minds, we also use it to help boost their reactions, and give ourselves a better chance of winning than we would have had. While we are using hacks, this is still a team-based game. I don't know how many times I have avoided looking suspicious because I told a teammate to check an area.

Tip #4: This tip is similar to the last, but they are both equally important. Don't play an entry fragger. Let one of your teammates do it. This way, you will be able to look more legit. Play a close support and when he is getting shot, act like you watched where the bullets are coming from. Use your teammates to your advantage. Let's say your teammate is being shot from first oranges on Inferno. By "Watching the Bullets", you can now safely prefire him without looking suspicious at all. Possibly the biggest tip on here, use your teammates to your advantage.

Tip #5: Don't hit all of your nades perfectly. Seriously, just don't. It could make the difference of you being banned, and you not being banned. I have said this in another thread, but a lot people look completely normal, but will only flash, nade, or molly when someone is there. Don't be afraid to waste nades. This gives you another boost in how legit you look.

Tip #6: Toggle on and off. It is best to use wallhacks for intel. I mainly use them to win rounds absolutely necessary for us to win the game. Use the wallhacks to boost your reactions, don't use them to simply know where everyone is. CS:GO is all about the psychological advantage.

I may add a section for aim+ trigger, but I don't use them so I don't know. I will be updating this the best I can. Have fun cheating, and good luck not getting overwatched.

Good thread! thanks for sharing.

Good Information. I have been a CS:GO hacker for a couple years now and I have found out just from my personal experiences if I want to look the most legit without giving up my hacks, I use aim assist, and customized recoil control. I am currently using a private cheat.

No such thing as cheating like a pro, pro's dont cheat.

KQLY would say otherwise...

Noice tips right there, but im not OK about "turn on/off visuals for win a round"

You will get more obvious than playing with visuals for the whole match.

For trigger and aimbot, dont use aimbot or aim assist (too much obvious) and for the trigger ONLY with one shot weapons such awp/scout.

Im cheating since the closed beta and never got banned/owed and god know I use visuals and trigger

This is good to keep in mind.

Yeah, I agree wallhacks help psychologically. I don't use them to find enemies but rather prep myself for a quicker reaction time. It makes it easier to hold corners when you know they are coming, etc.

I only ever use ESP and Bhop for the entire match, my movement and knowledge of the game (as I am a global without cheats) helps A TON with avoiding overwatch.

Because when overwatchers watch a player if its someone with crap crosshair placement, shit movement ect and yet they are getting tons of frags and amazing shots it's more likely you will be banned.

great guide, thanks for taking your time to write it!

"Allow yourself to die"

Couldn't agree more. It's like coldzera's sense sometimes - ALWAYS puts himself in better position. No walling, but still blatant AF.
