ESP, Aimbot, Wallhack — What They Are & How They Work. Cheat Features Guide
Detailed breakdown of all cheat features for online games: ESP, Aimbot, Wallhack, Triggerbot, Radar, No Recoil and more. What to choose and how to configure.
If you're new to game cheats, the terminology can be confusing. In this guide, we'll break down all major cheat features, explain what they do, and provide usage recommendations.
Technical background — how cheats work (internal, external, kernel, DMA).
ESP (Extra Sensory Perception)
The most sought-after feature. ESP displays information about other players and objects that is normally hidden:
- Box ESP — a frame around the player (2D or 3D). Shows position and size
- Skeleton ESP — player model skeleton. Shows pose and movement direction
- Name ESP — player nickname above their head
- Health ESP — health and armor bar
- Distance ESP — distance to the player in meters
- Weapon ESP — what weapon the player is holding
- Item ESP / Loot ESP — highlights items on the map (relevant for EFT, Rust, DayZ)
- Snap Lines — lines from your character to other players
ESP is the safest among "combat" features. It provides informational advantage without interfering with shooting mechanics.
Wallhack (WH)
Often confused with ESP, but they're different things. Wallhack makes walls semi-transparent or removes them entirely. Unlike ESP, WH modifies game rendering. Classic Wallhack is rare nowadays — most cheats use ESP as a safer alternative.
Chams (Chamäleon)
Highlights player models with bright colors (red, green, blue) through walls. A middle ground between ESP and Wallhack — more noticeable than ESP boxes but less risky than full Wallhack. Popular in EFT and CS2.
Aimbot
Automatic aim at enemies. Key settings:
- FOV (Field of View) — target capture radius. Smaller = more natural looking
- Smooth — aim smoothness. High smoothness mimics human mouse movement
- Bone Selection — which body part to aim at (head, chest, neck, nearest bone)
- Visible Check — aim only at visible enemies (no shooting through walls)
- Key Bind — activation key (usually right mouse button)
- Lock Target — hold aim on one enemy
Warning: Aimbot is one of the most dangerous features. If used, set minimal FOV and high smoothness. Aggressive aimbot is the #1 cause of bans.
Triggerbot
Automatic fire when crosshair is on an enemy. Doesn't aim itself — only fires. Less suspicious than aimbot but can still be noticed by inhuman reaction speed.
Radar
Shows all player positions on a minimap or separate screen. Types:
- Overlay Radar — on top of the game on the main monitor
- External Radar — on a second monitor or in browser (via DMA)
- Web Radar — via web interface, viewable even from phone
Radar is one of the safest features, especially when running through DMA.
No Recoil
Removes weapon recoil. Can be software-based (through game memory) or macro-based (through mouse control). Macro-based is safer as it doesn't interfere with the game.
BunnyHop
Automatic jumps for speed gain. A classic CS2 feature. Press space, the character jumps with perfect timing.
Anti-Flash
Protection from flashbang blinding. Popular in CS2 and other shooters with flashbangs.
Speed Hack
Increases character movement speed. Extremely dangerous feature — obvious to other players and easily detected. Not recommended.
SkinChanger
Replaces weapon and knife skins with desired ones (client-side only, other players don't see). Popular in CS2. Relatively safe feature.
What to Choose as a Beginner
If you're just starting — we recommend sticking with ESP and Radar. These features provide a huge advantage while being:
- Non-intrusive to your shooting (you aim yourself)
- Less suspicious to other players
- Lower risk for anti-cheat detection
Add aimbot only after gaining experience, with minimal settings.
