Vanguard, the anti-cheat system for Riot’s new tactical shooter – Valorant – has come under fire for being highly intrusive – raising privacy and security fears.<\/p>\n
It has led many to ask “is it all worth it?”, especially as there have been countless examples of players running into cheaters in the game.<\/p>\n
The fact is anti-cheat systems usually improve over time and it looks like Vanguard has started banning players if a leaked Discord chat is to be believed.<\/p>\n
Brought to light by Reddit user OWPD<\/a> who says he had been “monitoring” a chat used by the cheaters and it appears to show them slowly realise they have all been banned.<\/p>\n “Yikes,” “KappaPride” can be seen saying in the chat, “got banned.” <\/p>\n A number of other cheaters confirm they have also been banned. Going off the comments the cheat seems to be an aimbot for Valorant as one user, named “ice”, says:<\/p>\n “Yes I noticed the problem aiming above head, so I switched to spine, much better really.”<\/p>\n Adding: “wait wtf, I got banned too, I think I just got banned.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Justice has been served you little shi….<\/p>\n Cheaters aren’t known to be the smartest of people but one particular comment really takes the biscuit.<\/p>\n “Idk im done with valorant,” says gamer69, “tons of cheaters tbh, their anti-cheat is pretty terrible atm as far as I can tell.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I mean where do you start with that?<\/p>\n The chat does reveal more than just the cheaters’ stupidity though with one user commentating that they were banned while playing a ranked match, and even an account that they used, that they have never cheated on, was banned – showing that hardware or IP bans may already be in place for those caught cheating.<\/p>\n The chat also appears to contain the admin or creator of the cheat, with it likely to be a paid-for cheat, with one reference to “my customers” in a leaked direct message thread.<\/p>\n He informs users that the cheat’s status has changed to “TEST”.<\/p>\n “U can use cheat at ur own risk,” he says to a bunch of banned cheaters.<\/p>\n Riot has been taking cheating seriously in Valorant, with an anti-cheat system that is always on and has complete access to your computer, a “feature” that has become an issue with some players. <\/p>\n Riot has responded to complaints though by giving users more control over the Vanguard system<\/a> when not in use by Valorant, and have introduced cash bounties for anyone who can hack into the controversial anti-cheat<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vanguard, the anti-cheat system for Riot’s new tactical shooter – Valorant – has come under fire for being highly intrusive – raising privacy and security…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1325,"featured_media":4594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-valorant","genre-fps","content_type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
