In the shadowy corners of competitive gaming, few terms strike as much fear into legitimate players as "aimlock." Unlike a standard aimbot that smoothly tracks a target, an aimlock is aggressive and binary: the moment your crosshair hits a specific hitbox (usually the head or chest), it "locks" on magnetically until the target dies.
Behind every effective aimlock lies the configuration file (Config) . This is the text-based brain of the cheat.
Let’s open the hood. A typical aimlock config file is written in human-readable text. Below is a hypothetical breakdown of a real configuration file found in a popular (now defunct) CS:GO cheat.
[Aimbot_Settings]
Enabled = true
; Master toggle for the aimbot feature
[Aimlock_Specific]
Lock_Bone = "Head" ; Options: Head, Neck, Chest, Pelvis
Lock_Condition = "Visible_Only" ; Only lock if wallbang is impossible
Lock_Key = "Mouse4" ; Activate only while holding this button
Magnet_Strength = 95 ; How hard it pulls against your mouse movement (1-100) aimbot aimlock config file
[Target_Acquisition]
FOV_Limit = 15 ; Degrees from crosshair. Higher = obvious snap from far away.
Smoothness = 70 ; 1 = instant warp. 100 = very slow, human-like drag.
Delay_ms = 30 ; Milliseconds before lock engages after hovering target
Switch_Target_Delay = 500 ; Time before swapping to a new victim
[Hitbox_Prediction]
Prediction_Type = "Velocity_Vector" ; Accounts for player movement speed (e.g., 250 ups)
Recoil_Compensation = "Full" ; Pulls mouse down automatically during spray
Spread_Ignore = false ; If true, bullets defy game mechanics (high risk)
[Visibility_Checks]
Auto_Wallbang = false ; True = lock through smoke/walls (rage hack)
Team_Check = true ; Ignores teammates
Dead_Zone = false ; Stops shaking on dead bodies

The config file serves to:
Most external cheats create a folder in C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\[Cheat_Name]\ or alongside the injector executable. Look for settings.ini, config.cfg, or aim.cfg. The config file serves to: Most external cheats
You don't need to see their config file to know they are using one. Look for these telltale signs of a poorly configured aimlock:
The specifics of an aimbot/aimlock config can vary greatly depending on the software or script it's for. Some might include more detailed configurations such as:
