Jarvis only used aimbots in non-competitive modes of Fortnite, in which he was playing ‘against’ fellow pro players who cooperated in the making of the video. Many such bots can also be easily toggled on and off through the mouse and keyboard set-up, hiding their usage if a player comes under scrutiny from spectating players. For instance, a triggerbot could be set to not fire instantly, to hide the fact that it shoots the moment an opponent is in the cheater’s cross-hair.

The aimbot then determines the location of opponents relative to the player’s location, and points the player’s weapon at the target.
