YouTuber designs fake cheat software to troll would-be CS:GO hackers

YouTuber 'ScriptKid' has come up with an ingenious way to troll would-be Counter-Strike: Global Offensive cheaters, by uploading fake cheating software to trick players seeking to gain an unfair advantage into dying in hilarious ways.

ScriptKid recorded a game of someone who had downloaded their software, and watched as the cheater ended up randomly jumping off the map and falling to their death. The software is "designed to backfire," ScriptKid explains, meaning the cheater won't realise they're being trolled until it's too late.

The software is designed to look like a real cheat client, but if someone tries to use it in a ranked match, it will "mess with their game in unexpected and funny ways." Jumping off a roof is just one example; the software can also lock doors, set off grenades beneath a cheater's feet, trigger 'drunken movement', slow down their movement, or much more. This software works by installing 'trip wires' across the map.
