By late 2021, CMPack’s reign was waning. Server anti-cheats began implementing "clicks-per-second caps" and "reach checks" that analyzed movement patterns, not just raw data. Moreover, the developer community around CMPack fractured due to leaks of its source code, leading to clones and eventually, a mass exodus to newer clients like Vape V4 or the rising DripLite. Yet CMPack’s legacy endures: it perfected the model of a sleek, undetectable, subscription-based PvP client. It proved that in a game without official competitive matchmaking, the players themselves would build—and break—the rules.

The developers argued that CMPack was merely a "tool" that unlocked the game’s potential, akin to a gaming mouse with macros. Critics, however, pointed to its undetectable aim assist and silent reach as undeniable forms of cheating.
