Investigator Review: Suspected X-Ray Vision Cheat Missed by Anti-Cheat
✅Answered
I recently started working under the Investigator role. While reviewing hacker reports, I analyzed a specific clip that strongly suggests the use of X-ray vision. In the clip, the player runs directly toward an enemy and pre-aims without any visible cues: no teammate marking, no audible footsteps (the distance is over 50 meters), and no line of sight. The player switches focus to that exact opponent in advance and waits for them, which appears unnatural.
The anti-cheat system reviewed the same clip and reported no violation. I acknowledge the possibility that my assessment could be wrong, but based on in-game mechanics and available audio/visual information, the behavior aligns more with wall-hack/X-ray usage than with legitimate gameplay.

Solution
I think that the no violation decision here is the correct one. Let me talk you through how I see it.
0:49 The head of an enemy is visible (red) above the wall. I don't think this was noticed as there's no reaction.
0:56 A second enemy is visible as the first climbs under cover. This is when the reported player makes a clear move towards them, suggesting to me that this enemy has been seen. RP takes a position behind the truck and starts using the third person camera.
1:03 The player on the top platform becomes audible and almost immediately visible. It's possible that RP could work out that the player they saw should still be further away (multiple enemies), but this is unclear.
1:05 RP engages and gets a clean knock. They then move forward, most likely to thirst the knock.
1:07 The lower player is visible briefly. RP chases them with some shots but ultimately shoots into the wall. This part is mildly suspicious, but may simply be good tracking of the pace of the enemy. I have certainly shot a few walls this way in my time playing.
The remainder of the fight proceeds in a normal way, with the third enemy being audible and getting caught on the platform.
