There was a purge of players on the FACEIT platform and another wave of bans — the anti-cheat identified 125 players who used a fresh exploit from wallhack in CS2. The developers of the site confirmed that the vulnerability made it possible to see opponents through the walls after a simple manipulation of the shooter’s files.
Ban for cheats in CS2: how does FACEIT deal with the new Wallhack?
The security situation in CS2 remains tense, but this time the FACEIT anti-cheat worked quickly. The essence of the problem was a specific modification of the game files — this bug gave dishonest users a direct view through obstacles. The administration’s reaction was immediate: 125 accounts have already been blocked. It looks like this is just the beginning, as the monitoring of the system continues in real time.
FACEIT representatives canceled the important news — there will be no mercy. Anyone who tries to activate this exploit or its variations will receive a permanent ban without the right to appeal. The platform once again reminded that using any CS2 client vulnerabilities to gain an advantage is equivalent to full-fledged cheating.
-
The reason for the blockages: The use of a wallhack exploit by replacing game files.
-
The scale of sanctions: 125 confirmed bans in a short period of time.
-
Problem status: FACEIT anti-cheat has learned to recognize the signature of this intervention automatically.
By the way, this is not the only news from the site administration lately. Earlier, the FACEIT community manager put an end to the controversy about matchmaking – he officially refuted the myth that the system takes into account the total number of wins when searching for opponents. A detailed analysis of how match search actually works in CS2 can be found in our previous article.
