A clip from the beta of Battlefield 6 sparked a large discussion. Shooter fans are divided on whether Battlefield players don’t know what good aim looks like.
What is this clip about?
- A clip from the beta of Battlefield 6 has caused a stir on X in recent days and has now been viewed over 46 million times.
- The player, a small Twitch streamer named Riley, achieved some amazing kills in the nearly two-minute video. Especially her precise flicks and crosshair placement became a topic of discussion.
- Many users discuss in the comments whether it is legitimate gameplay or cheating.
The clip has over 4,000 comments and also motivated other users to post similar clips – for example, showing themselves to demonstrate that such aim is indeed possible (via X).
What exactly is being discussed? Many users are sure: The player is cheating. Her aim is too precise and snaps right onto the heads of enemies. She also seems to look at enemies before they are visible. For example, after about 13 seconds, she aims through a rock at a soldier (via X).
Some commentators defend the player and the shown gameplay, saying that it is simply good aim and the use of the minimap, not cheating. She even misses some shots. Some tease: “Battlefield players see strong flicks and immediately shout cheater.”
Since embedding content posted on X has been problematic for some time, we present you with a Twitch clip of the player:
What does the streamer say about the accusations? She has responded to the accusations in several comments and repeatedly states that she does not cheat. She also posted another video with a hand cam to prove that she is not cheating. Additionally, she says that during the stream, she often showed the task manager so that people could see what software is running.
Is she really cheating? Ultimately, one can only say with certainty based on a few clips. Some recordings may seem suspicious to many players, but there is currently no irrefutable evidence – neither for nor against her.
There are certainly players who can flick to an enemy very quickly and precisely. Some players train for this skill for years, for example with “games” like Aimlabs. What is possible with strong aim is demonstrated by former Valorant pro and Twitch streamer TenZ: A shooter pro shoots so fast that I question my eyesight – But it’s just an optical illusion
