VAC / VACNET
VAC is CS2's primary anticheat.
VACNET / VAC LIVE is CS2's AI system to detect cheaters. Consider it an AI overwatch. It's not very smart, and only issues bans for blatant rage cheating.
Trust Factor
Trust factor is a system designed by Valve to prevent bad actors from meeting legitimate, good players. If you have a bad trust factor, it's common to be placed into lobbies with other cheaters.
To keep a good trust factor we recommend the following:
Try not to receive reports, for any reason.
Play on an a high tier account, with service medals, coins, etc.
Do not inject any other software than Distort.
Ban Types & Explanations
VAC Ban
This ban is caused by a cheat detection.
VAC LIVE / Irregular Gameplay
This ban occurs if your gameplay is flagged by VACNET as being too similar to that of known cheaters.
