Desktop Application for automatically selecting loadout

Hello people of the fog!

Since the game currently does not have a search bar and "only" 3 loadouts, I've been thinking about writing a small desktop application / tool where you can save your loadouts.

Ideally I would then programatically take over the mouse and simulate the user selecting the perks - so it would be automated.


Is this allowed with the game (it will not run during the actual gameplay, only during the lobby for selecting the perks + items) or will the AntiCheat detect this and get me banned?


For the technical people:

I would probably use Rust and maybe the "enigo" library for simulating user input.


Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    EAC is likely to flag that fairly quickly. Remember that EAC operates at the kernel level and would likely see a script moving the mouse and initiating keystrokes.

    Is BHVR making any exceptions at all to this? Like can I get a permit for this application if I make it open source?
