What Courier Maphack shows
Courier Maphack is a dedicated sub-module within the Map Hack / Info Screen group in the Umbrella menu. It targets the enemy courier specifically and delivers three types of information simultaneously.
Courier position through the fog of war
- Real-time tracking — the enemy courier icon is constantly visible on the map and minimap, even when it flies through the fog of war.
- Delivery route — you can see where the courier is heading: back to base, into the jungle, or toward a specific hero.
- Vulnerability status — the courier is flagged separately when it can be killed (no spell immunity active).
Items on board
- Item list — the HUD shows exactly what is in the courier's inventory: BKB, Aghanim's Scepter, Blink Dagger, wards — everything at once.
- Enemy economy read — from the items in transit you can read what the opponent is buying and what timing they are on.
Notifications
- Chat / HUD alert — Umbrella pings you when the enemy courier leaves base with items or when it becomes vulnerable to attack.
- Configurable alerts — enable notifications only for key items (BKB, Aghanim's, major support items) and silence the noise from cheap purchases.
Courier Maphack works alongside the main Ability Maphack. Both modules are enabled independently — you can use either one alone or both together.
How it helps in-game
The courier is the weakest link in the enemy's economy. Courier Maphack gives you control over that link:
- Snipe the courier carrying BKB or Aghanim's → the enemy loses a critical timing window, you gain a fight advantage.
- Read the enemy's economy and plans → know who is buying Hex, who is saving for a Rapier, and play around that knowledge.
- Time your ganks when the support is item-less → the perfect moment to smoke-gank while the support waits for delivery.
- Punish careless courier usage → many players send the courier without thinking; you always see the window to strike.
Combined with hero scripts and the main Maphack, you get the full map picture: enemy positions, jungle, wards, and the courier — all at once.
How to enable Courier Maphack in Umbrella
- Launch Umbrella (download the loader).
- In the menu, open the Map Hack / Info Screen group.
- Toggle on Courier MapHack — the courier's position will appear on the map immediately.
- Configure notifications: choose which items trigger a ping and silence alerts for minor purchases.
- Save the config to the cloud — the setup loads automatically in the next session.
If you don't want to fiddle with settings — grab a ready config, where Courier Maphack is already enabled by default.
Is Courier Maphack safe to use
Any cheat carries risk. Umbrella minimizes it with two tools:
- Spoofer — masks the HWID so a new account doesn't get tied to an old Valve ban.
- Cloud config storage — settings aren't written to the file system, so there are no traces when the client is scanned.
Courier Maphack is a client-side information module: it performs no automatic actions and sends no commands on your behalf. This keeps its detection profile lower than automated scripts.

FAQ
Does it show what items the courier carries?
Yes, Courier Maphack shows the full item list in the enemy courier's inventory directly in your HUD. You see BKB, Aghanim's, wards — everything it is carrying at that moment.
Can I get banned for courier maphack?
There is always a risk with any cheat. Umbrella reduces it with the Spoofer and cloud configs. Courier Maphack is a passive information module with no automated actions, which makes it less visible to the anti-cheat. See the full ban analysis article for details.
Does it work in ranked?
Yes, the module works in every game mode — ranked, unranked, and tournaments. The lobby type does not affect functionality.
Does it work alongside regular Maphack?
Yes, Courier Maphack and Ability Maphack are independent modules within the same settings group. You can run them simultaneously or separately.
