Riot Games’ anti-cheat system for Valorant, Vanguard, has caught yet another elusive cheater. The studio has invested a significant amount of time in its creation. It was promoted as the state-of-the-art anti-cheat system that will instill fair play in the game.

Cheaters taking over the ranked games has been a major problem in many competitive titles. However, this new system deep dives into your files in pursuit of illicit cheats and then hands out a permanent ban.

Riot Games promised to offer a cheater-free environment, and it has so far produced wonderful results. Recently, Vanguard got a hold of a streamer who was allegedly using a triggerbot. You can look at the infamous clip below, where the streamer got banned from the game. He was one-tapping heads with a guardian rifle on Split.

Fellow FPS titles like Counter-Strike, Apex Legends, and Warzone have not found a prominent solution for this problem. It causes major discomfort to the players, as losing precious MMR to these miscreants seems unfair.
