Marketing blurs soft aim and high-level tracking on purpose. Soft aim hacks still read enemy positions and pull your crosshair — they just do it slowly enough to look like clean KBM until someone reviews the clip frame by frame.
Hard aimbot
Instant lock, often bound to a key. Wins close-range Tracer duels and Widow flick fights, dies in reports after one viral highlight. Common in gold-plat pubs, rare in GM lobbies where stats get scrutinized.
Soft aim
Magnetic aim inside roughly 15–35 FOV. Paired with low sensitivity it mimics controller tracking or pro-level stickiness. Defense Matrix flags statistical outliers over many matches, not one fight.
