Question about slide shots

When someone slides in front of you and does a hipfire shot, basically shooting you with a perfect headshot while sliding, is this always an indication of cheaters?  The only way I can replicate this on my own is using the gyro motion control on Nintendo Switch and tilt the controller similar to doing a tap strafe.

So, should this always be reported as a script if it is done on pc, or is there a way to do this move without cheating?  If there is a way to do it without cheats I would like to practice it myself.  It seems like on pc controller you couldn't do this because sliding and aiming at the same time would require an extra thumb for the stick.  Does anyone know more about this?

    You can do this on controller if you have the buttons mapped appropriately. I can slide and shoot. Aiming while I slide is another matter entirely. It mostly only works (for me) if someone is running away from me and down a hill. Which is almost never. But yes, it can be done.

    In the case you described I'd be more likely to think they were aimbotting than anything else, but I don't really know how any of this works on mouse & keyboard.

  • @AymCTL Just because someone else can do something you can't doesn't mean they are cheating. In life, unless you are the Michael Jordan of what you are doing there will always be someone better. That's a harsh reality.

    @reconzero Right, I was thinking this was more than likely an example of aimbot. Even with the buttons mapped you still couldn't aim. I just wonder if it's possible for MnK the same way it is for gyro the same way it is for tap strafing?

    @hayhor In this case with the present state of this game being dominated by cheaters this is more than likely being done through mods.

    Considering that people slide toward you just absorbing your shots without taking damage, and they hipfire landing a perfect headshot that downs you much faster than legit gunshots, this is more than likely cheating. I just want to make sure there is no way to do it before I start reporting people for it. Maybe if the cheaters have a second person, maybe one operating a mouse while another holds a controller they could time it someway, but I'm guessing it's being done with illegal keybinds the way they used to tap strafe with controller, and they combine this with cheats that have aimbot/rapid fire/zero recoil like the beam cheat.

    @AymCTL I don't have those issues. I'm on console tho. I'll never competitively game on PC due to the availability of all the different cheats but I highly doubt every death is to a cheater. This is where video documentation comes in tho. When I've run into teammates I've recorded and sent it in.
