aimbots
Automated aim software
Aimbots are software cheats in video games that automatically aim at opponents, giving players unfair accuracy.
The program locks onto targets—often heads for instant kills—without requiring skill.
He got banned for using an aimbot.
Aimbot accusations fly in online shooters whenever someone's aim seems suspiciously precise: There's no way that's legit—total aimbot.
