The AI doesn't have to play the game, just recognise enemy players and calculate how many pixels to move the mouse so that you are aiming at their head. Even the top player you showed could probably have improved his run quite a bit if instead of having to aim he got a guaranteed headshot every time he fired his gun in the vicinity of an enemy.

You have to tune cheat tools down or your stats will get you banned. An abnormally high headshot rate is a sure way to get banned.

That's where anticheat is going imo: algorithmiclly defining what the fastest more precise human should be capable of. Anything beyond that is "cheating".

Cheats like this are actually ruining high risk/reward stake games like Escape From Tarkov & Hunt: Showdown.
