This is very different from the regular software cheat that one simply uses by downloading them over the internet. In recent times ‘Sparkles’ has been involved in spreading awareness about all sorts of bugs and cheats that might be affecting the game negatively but none of them come close to a ‘Hardware Cheat’. RELATED: Insane CS:GO Bug Allows Players to Float in Mid-Air Anywhere on The Map They have been in use for quite some time now but not many are aware of it even inside the cheating community, these cheats were being operated in utmost secrecy until CS:GO YouTuber ‘Sparkles’ exposed them in one his recent videos.

These ‘Hardware Cheats’ are allegedly used by semi-professional players on ESEA and FACEIT leagues. But until then, the number of hackers infesting matchmaking can certainly be a pain to deal with.Just when you thought that software cheats were overwhelming and Valve was having a tough time dealing with them, it seems that a whole different breed of ‘Hardware Cheats’ was being used by certain players which are allegedly completely undetectable by any of the existing anti-cheats if programmed correctly.

This might lead to FACEIT enabling stricter filters in the future to identify sketchy free-to-play accounts and banning them from matchmaking. Cheaters are constantly finding newer means to bypass the anti-cheat system and testing them out through free-to-play accounts, which is ruining the experience for other players in the game. While the anti-cheat system of FACEIT is believed to be superior to that of VAC, it isn’t enough to handle the sheer spike in the number of hackers over the past few days. These third-party services don’t restrict their matchmaking to Prime only, which means free-to-play players can enjoy them as well. However, it seems like cheaters have found new ways to circumvent the paywall behind ranked matchmaking.Īccording to recent reports from several sources, third-party matchmaking services like FACEIT have experienced a surge in the hacker count ever since the update was introduced, implying that hackers may have switched to these third-party services after the implementation of restrictions on free-to-play accounts in ranked matchmaking. These changes were likely aimed at reducing the constantly rising cheater count of the competitive shooter by putting the entirety of ranked matchmaking behind a $15 paywall. Recently, CSGO experienced a massive update that drastically changed the game’s matchmaking system and introduced several restrictions on free-to-play accounts, rendering them unable to join ranked games.
