Riot Games Faces Bribery Attempt from Valorant & LoL Cheat Developer to Save His “Masterpiece”

A developer of cheats for both Valorant and League of Legends was caught attempting to bribe Riot Games to stop them from eliminating his spoofer.

The prevalence of cheating continues to be a significant challenge in the gaming community, with numerous titles suffering from the impact of unscrupulous users who utilize aimbots, wall hacks, and other illegal software.

Riot’s Vanguard anti-cheat system has emerged as a response to this issue, and on October 23, Anti-Cheat analyst GamerDoc shared that he had successfully dismantled a spoofer created by a developer in an astonishingly short amount of time.

Spoofers are crafted to circumvent the security protocols of games. According to screenshots shared by GamerDoc, the developer invested a whole year into developing a Vanguard spoofer, only to see it dismantled in less than an hour.

“Now I understand why cheat developers despise you,” the developer expressed in messages on Discord. “You should focus on improving your self-image instead of affecting my earnings. Honestly, respect dude. You pulled it off. F**k.”

Following the shutdown, the developer reached out to GamerDoc with a bribe proposal of €5,000.

“I spent an entire year developing hooks and figuring out how to circumvent VAC,” he lamented.

When asked to summarize the situation in simpler terms, the Riot employee didn’t mince words and likened the takedown to playing with LEGO bricks.

“He dedicated a year to constructing his LEGO creation, I dismantled it in an hour, and now he’s offering me his premium LEGO sets while cycling through a whirlwind of emotions—from anger to pleading to ‘Respect, bro’ to outright bribery,” he humorously remarked.

This incident garnered widespread support from the community, with fans encouraging GamerDoc to collaborate with other gaming companies like Valve, Ubisoft, and Activision to enhance their anti-cheat efforts.

This development occurred just days after a significant exploit in Call of Duty allowed malicious users to impose bans on any player right before the launch of Black Ops 6.
