Counter-Strike 2<\/em> being flooded with cheaters is nothing new. But on April 7, a simple console command let players use cheats frustratingly easily. Luckily, though, players are already getting banned for cheating.<\/p>
Late on April 7, certain CS2<\/em> profiles on X<\/a> shared how players are apparently available to turn on wallhacks with one simple console command. Many of the posts have been silenced, and the subreddit itself<\/a> mentions FACEIT handing out two-year bans to those who used the command. <\/p>

We found the apparent console command that enabled the cheat, and tried to see if it’s still working in CS2<\/em><\/a> (in private practice mode<\/a>, obviously). It wasn’t working when we checked, so chances are it’s already been hotfixed by the developer. <\/p>
Nevertheless, this issue points out a major problem with Valve and CS2<\/em>—rampant cheating. For months since the September 2023 release, players have been complaining about cheaters<\/a>, especially in Premier mode. <\/p>
“Valve MM bug abusers will get total 0 punishment. Just like over 20 blatant cheaters I faced just past month,” one of the players wrote on Reddit<\/a>. Certain pro players<\/a> went as far as to call the current anti-cheat software “a joke.” <\/p>
