Unnatural aim and instant headshots If a player snaps precisely to heads from long range, tracks targets through strafes with unnerving consistency, or lands impossible flicks, it’s likely an aimbot. Watch replays — perfect, repeatable headshots are a red flag.

Shooting through walls or seeing through cover Players who hit you or others through solid obstacles, or pre-aim and shoot you before you show up, may be using wallhacks. Check the killcam/replay to confirm whether shots came through terrain.

Impossible stats and abnormal game behavior Extremely high K/D with tiny time-to-kill (TtK), rapid weapon swaps, instant reloads, or interacting with objects impossibly fast can mean macros or automation tools. Compare behaviour in multiple matches to rule out skill spikes.

Suspicious team tactics or unrealistic awareness Players who consistently pre-aim rooms, always know your exact location, or seem to react before sound/visual cues may be exploiting radar hacks or external info. Cross-check with squad mates and replay footage.

What to do next Don’t accuse in chat. Record a clip or save the replay, take screenshots of IDs, then use the in-game report function and submit evidence to Garena support. Encourage teammates to report the account too — multiple reports speed enforcement. Finally, keep your client updated and avoid suspicious third-party tools to reduce false alarms.
