How to detect cheating in CS2

Cheating in online games is nothing new and CS2 is no exemption. Since the Counter-Strike’s inception, there were always players who wanted to win at any cost. Sometimes by using third-party software to gain an unfair advantage over others. Sadly with the release of CS2, this problem seems to have escalated drastically. Moreover, the VAC system the game uses sometimes feels like it’s there for nothing. Let’s take a look at the ways you can use to detect cheating in CS2.

What are the ways to detect cheating in CS2?

Firstly, there is no bulletproof way to spot cheaters in CS2. That being said you can observe patterns of in-game behavior to deduct if someone is cheating. There is also the option of using Replays of your matches to see if someone was doing things out of the ordinary. Usually, players who cheat will have a drastically high ADR. Additionally, be on the lookout for players who constantly get killed through the walls and other obstacles, or frequently score headshots. Furthermore, cheaters that use wallhacks tend to run around the map and only start walking when they get within hearing range of their opponents. This can give them a scary advantage and an element of surprise.

What are the cheats that are most commonly used in CS2?

WallHack – this cheat allows players to see through walls and other obstacles. Meaning that players with this cheat have an enormous advantage over other players. Also if they are not doing particularly well in the match they can share the information and boost their team. 

AimBot – players that use this cheat are easily recognisable. This cheat allows you to hit heads without aiming. In addition to that, this cheat can perfectly aim through walls. One of the ways you can notice someone using this cheat is by looking at their crosshair. Usually, a crosshair will move unnaturally while the cheat is active. It’s often recognizable by a rapid “snap” movement to the opponent’s head hitbox. The more extreme version of this cheat is the infamous Spin-bot cheat.
