What is ESP?
ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) displays real-time information about enemies, items, and other game elements directly on your screen — even through walls.
Unlike aimbot which helps you shoot, ESP helps you see. It reads game memory and draws boxes, text, and other indicators over enemies and objects.
