With the recent introduction and huge popularity of AI worldwide, the cheating world wasn't sleeping on it and got to work. In a recent action, the Chinese police arrested Valorant AI Cheat developers, and here's all we know about it.
Valorant doesn't have a cheating problem as the other rival FPS games have, but it's still not immune to the experts in the cheating world. You will rarely notice someone aim-botting or wallhacking, and if you do it's probably in one out of a hundred games. Just yesterday, eleven individuals were arrested in China, and their main software managed to successfully bypass Riot Vanguard, here's the full story.
No More Cheating In Valorant?
Remember how we said you might get 1 game with a cheater out of 100? That might reduce to 0 very soon, as Chinese police have raided an office in which one of the best Valorant AI cheats have been made so far. According to Yujiang Public Security Online, they initially got tipped about the software and the people behind it and were continuously planning the operation until yesterday.
They were helped by Tencent in the operation and successfully cracked down on the Developers and arrested them. In the action, they confiscated 17 computers with which Valorant's security measures were breached, and also their cell phones with which they communicated with each other. "Fearless Contract" is what the Chinese Valorant server is called, and this action was explained as a major achievement to protect the players' competitive experience there.

The Developers Behind The Valorant Cheat Had Over $4 Million Profit
Cheats in FPS games are almost never free, and the undetected ones can cost over $20/month in some cases. Not so long ago, about 40,000 Valorant accounts were banned as they were caught using cheating software. Those accounts were most probably connected to this operation, as the profits and accounts banned are equal to the total figures.
The cheats used could be downloaded, but also be used as "plug-ins". If you're not aware of the term, it's basically a USB, that once connected to a system automatically runs the cheat and is undetected. There were a lot of incidents both in tournaments and on streams where streamers and pro players were caught with "plug-in" cheats and while this is good news for the Valorant community, there are probably other places that need "raiding" in the near future.
