    If a player is running/jumping their momentum is "conserved" when in hot potato last request. this momentum messes up throws by changing direction and speed of the throw. A T can cheese LR by waiting when some ct starts running/jumping, then start the HP LR. This is basically cheating in LR as the CT can't win in this situation

    This is not new, but yeah I have tested this myself just now, it's indeed not allowed. The gun goes somehow through the opponent and will bug the LR, this will be seen as cheating in LR and glitching the server so please do not use this method.

    Please make sure not to use this or you will be banned from the server. If you have questions about it, feel free to contact a Clan Member.

    Unrelated to the lr issue, but can I ask about your character skin?

    Is this even allowed having a wire frame skin?

    Any skins like that which may give an advantage to a player are blocked on the servers.

    They are only showing here as he has most likely recorded this from a demo (which won't have the restrictions the server does).

    I swear, every time I make a post people ask me about the skins I use, lol.
    The wireframe hands is just an edited .vmt file for the hands model. (this isn't my idea btw and no it only works with viewmodels)

    "WireFrame"
    {
    "$basetexture "dev/null"
    }

    That's it. I don't see how this gives me any advantage besides being able to see through my hands.

    v_hands.vmt isnt blocked on the server. Also what is the difference, it's just a viewmodel. No advantage or gameplay purpuse, just cosmetic.

    Advantage is that you are not supposed to see through your hands/gun. Server has sv_pure to 1, so it shouldn't allow any skins. If people are bypassing like this, they'd likely be banned.

    If this is concidered an unfair advantage, I can return it to normal and just use an animated opaque texture.

    sv_pure 2 doesn't allow any skins, sv_pure 1 allows viewmodel skins and some sfx changes.

    Play with an opaque one or default, if you are able to see through weapons/guns, this is considered unfair advantage and will result in a ban.

    It may be a different one, I'm not sure that was just off the top of my head, I just know the server enforces no skins.

    I could simply toggle between cl_righthand "1" and cl_righthand "0" and have the same effect.

    Unrelated to this topic, thinking of ways to bypass the 'no cheating' principle is so troll like and would likely end up with you being banned. Try not to push it.
