Just a few frames later, thanks to inputs sent through external hardware, the cheat user automatically targets the enemy and fires.
The makers of a machine-learning-powered auto-aim cheat tool have halted development and taken down their website "at the request of Activision Publishing." That's according to a message posted on the User Vision website, in which developer USER101 promises the group "will no longer be developing or providing access to software that could be used to exploit [Activision]'s games. My intent was never to do anything illegal."
Previous versions of the User Vision software offered more basic cheating functions like "recoil adjustment" that automatically steadies a player's aim and a "trigger bot" that shoots automatically when an enemy is detected in the player's crosshairs. Last week, though, the makers of User Vision started promoting a future version that would provide "full auto-aim [and] full auto-shots" on "any game" for PC, Xbox, or PlayStation.
Many of User Vision's promotional videos—which showed the tool being used in Call of Duty games—were taken offline late last week due to a copyright claim from Call of Duty publisher Activision. The entire YouTube account seems to no longer exist, and the User Vision Discord appears to be offline as well.
USER101 stressed that the auto-aim functionality showcased in User Vision's videos had yet to make it to a published version of the software. USER101 also tried to refocus the conversation by saying that "this type of technology [has] other actual assistive benefits; for example, by pointing a webcam at yourself, you could control movement without the use of limbs. Unfortunately, because of its potential negative impact, I will not be developing it further."
