GREETINGS FELLOW GMOD PLAYERS!!In this guide ill try my best to show. ‘HOW TO DETECT CHEATS’
Step-1 UNDERSTAND CHEATS.
Esp is the most common cheat you can see. it allows people to see through walls. and not only they will see. they will get information about ur hp. gun. name. and many other things.
This is what normal gmod player would see:
And this is what cheaters see:
Aimbot is another common cheat you’ll encounter. It automatically locks onto players, making it impossible for the cheater to miss. Not only will they have perfect aim, but they can also switch targets instantly, land headshots every time, and shoot you the moment you appear.
I dont really got a picture but theres a menu of how it looks:
As u can see theres Many interesting stuff in here.
Silent aim is a more subtle cheat than aimbot. It lets cheaters hit their targets without their crosshair even being on them. They can aim anywhere, and the game will still register the shot as hitting you. It’s harder to spot because their movements might look normal, but their shots will land in impossible ways.
heres a pic how it looks basically:
Removes recoil and bullet spread from guns, making every shot perfectly accurate. It’s common in combat modes like TTT or DarkRP.
Step-2 HOW TO DETECT?
1. Unnatural Awareness: Players with ESP will act like they “magically” know where everyone is. For example:
- Always pre-aiming corners before anyone is visible.
- Avoiding traps or ambushes without scouting.
2. Pattern Spotting: Look for consistency—do they always know where hidden players or props are?
1.Perfect Accuracy: Aimbots never miss, especially headshots. Watch for:
- Instant lock-ons to players.
- Snapping aim that jumps unnaturally between targets.
2.Killcam or Spectator View: If you have access to spectate mode, observe their aim—it will look robotic or too precise.
1.Weird Hit Registration: Shots land even when their crosshair isn’t on the target. Look for:
- Hits that feel “off” when you’re sure they missed.
- Random flicks or erratic aim behavior followed by consistent hits.
2.Spectating: Watch their shots closely to confirm if the crosshair placement doesn’t match the hit.
Weapon Behavior: These cheats remove gun mechanics like recoil or bullet spread. Watch for:
- Shots that look impossibly straight or have perfect accuracy every time.
- Full-auto guns that don’t shake or deviate.
Log Data: If your server logs weapon stats, check if a player’s accuracy is unusually high.

If you move ur croshair around really fast or have really high dpi it will flag you as aimbot. other than that. its good
