FACEIT Bans 125 Accounts for Using CS2 Wallhack Exploit

FACEIT has addressed the situation surrounding a vulnerability in Counter-Strike 2 files that allowed players to see through walls without using traditional third-party cheats.

According to the platform’s statement, they are aware of a new exploit tied to the modification of game files. FACEIT reported that its anti-cheat system has already banned 125 accounts involved in abusing this vulnerability. The company also emphasized that monitoring is ongoing and that any players attempting to use the exploit will receive permanent bans.

It was also noted that the vulnerability itself has existed for over six months, but only recently gained widespread attention. Based on current information, the wallhack effect can be reproduced by replacing certain VPK files in the CS2 game folder, effectively giving players an unfair advantage without installing external software.
