A critical grenade camera bug has been reported in CS2 - the vulnerability also affected FACEIT

The Counter-Strike 2 community is discussing a new critical bug related to the grenade practice camera. According to player reports, the vulnerability makes it possible to use the grenade trajectory preview in competitive matches and gain extra information about opponents through it. It is also being claimed that the issue appears not only in regular matchmaking, but on FACEIT as well.

The issue is tied to the grenade trajectory practice preview feature - a known training tool in CS2 that, under normal conditions, is meant for practicing grenade lineups and is usually used in practice mode through specific commands. Under normal game logic, such a function should not affect competitive matches.

How to activate the grenade camera bug in CS2:

• Find CS2 in your Steam library.

• Right-click the game and select Properties.

• Go to the General tab and find Launch Options.

• Enter the following commands: +sv_cheats true mp_roundtime 60 +mp_warmuptime 999999 +mp_maxrounds 0 +sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview true +bot_kick +sv_showimpacts 1 +sv_showimpacts_time 10

Because of this, the bug is already being described as one of the most dangerous vulnerabilities of the past few weeks, since it effectively turns a training tool into a source of unfair advantage.

The exact reason why the bug appeared remains unclear for now. Players are linking it to recent updates and a series of technical problems that surfaced after the integration of Animgraph 2 and the patches that followed. Those updates led to various vulnerabilities, including weapons sticking through walls, incorrect player model movement, and similar issues. Valve has already fixed those.

A CS2 vulnerability linked to wallhacks and skin changers has been fixed

Earlier, CS2 also allowed players to freely replace game files. That made it possible to activate a legal wallhack or a skin changer. The developers fixed that issue in the April 21 update.
