What is a private cheat and how is it different from a public one
Online game cheats are either public — free and available to anyone — or private: paid, with access by key. Here is how they differ and why it matters.
Public cheats
A public cheat is posted openly and anyone can download it. Thousands of players run the very same build, which makes it easier for an anti-cheat to spot it and add it to its database. Updates are irregular, there is no support, and a file from an unknown source may turn out to be something other than a cheat.
Private cheats
A private cheat is sold as a key for a period of time: you buy access for a day, a week or a month, use it, and renew when it ends. A limited group of people uses the build, the developer ships updates after game and anti-cheat updates, and the cheat comes with launch instructions and support.
Private does not mean “undetectable”. Anti-cheats get updated too, so every cheat has a status: whether it works right now, is being updated or is detected. More in the article about cheat statuses.
Why private cheats are paid
The money goes into development and regular updates. You pay not for a file but for the period during which the cheat works and gets updated. The most common access periods in the Fresh Focus catalog are 1 day, 7 days and 30 days; 95 products also offer lifetime access.
How to choose a private cheat
- Status. Look for the Undetected status — every game page has a filter for it.
- Features. Aimbot, ESP (wallhack), radar and more — listed on the product page in the “Cheat features” tab.
- System requirements. Windows version, CPU and BIOS settings — in the “System requirements” tab.
- Access period. A short period is enough to try a cheat; a long one is better value if you play regularly.

Questions and answers
Does a private cheat protect from bans?
No. Any cheat breaks the game rules, so there is always a risk of a ban. The status shows the information as of the last page update and may change after a game or anti-cheat update. Check the current status before paying.
How much does a private cheat cost?
In the Fresh Focus catalog prices start at $0.50. The price depends on the cheat and the access period; the price of every period is shown on the product page.
What is the difference between a key and the cheat file?
The key gives access for the period you bought, while the file and the instructions are needed to launch the cheat. The delivery method is stated for each product: some orders are delivered automatically, others manually.
