A cheat developer for Valorant and League of Legends was recently exposed after trying to bribe Riot Games to prevent them from taking down his spoofer.
Cheating continues to be a significant challenge in gaming, affecting countless titles as players pay for cheats like aimbots, wall hacks, and other banned software.
Riot’s Vanguard anti-cheat has been one of their strongest defenses against these issues. On October 23, Anti-Cheat analyst GamerDoc announced on Twitter that he had managed to disable a spoofer made by a developer in record time.
Spoofers are designed to bypass game security measures, and according to screenshots posted by GamerDoc, this developer had spent an entire year creating a spoofer specifically for Vanguard, only for it to be dismantled in just an hour.
In a frustrated message on Discord, the developer admitted:
“Now I see why cheat devs hate you”
“Go work on your body image instead of working on my income. Tbh respect bro. You did it. F**k.”
After the takedown, the developer reached out to GamerDoc again, offering €5,000 to reconsider.
“So like, whats the detection, I pay u €5000.”
“I spent one f**king year writing hooks and reversing f**king VAC,”
Explaining the situation in simple terms, GamerDoc humorously compared the takedown to knocking down a LEGO creation.
“He spent a year building his LEGO masterpiece, I knocked it down in an hour, and now he’s offering me his best LEGO sets while going through every emotion possible—from angry to begging to ‘Respect, bro’ to bribery,”
The community was thrilled by the takedown, with fans encouraging GamerDoc to lend his skills to other gaming companies like Valve, Ubisoft, and Activision to help combat cheating.
