New skins with more incredible skills and new weapons that are indeed cool and powerful. Often times, gamers are opting into cheats just so they can boost their ranks in the game which is unfair in the first place.

Video games often gives a person a sense of success and pride just by simply winning a challenge and they cannot help but brag it. That sense of accomplishment makes it easier for the virtual world to absorb the person playing making them disconnected to how the real world actually is.
