Some fans hope that Valve is currently fine-tuning the system to enhance the fight against cheaters.

Dataminer Gabe Follower, known to fans of Half-Life and Counter-Strike 2, recently intrigued gamers. On social media, he shared an observation related to Valve's anti-cheat system.

According to Gabe Follower, the creators of CS2 did "something unprecedented" with the anti-cheat:

It has completely stopped triggering due to rage hacks. However, I'll hold off on this for now; I won't reveal an interesting piece of news related to the anti-cheat — this is not another clickbait. I'm gathering more information and double-checking everything, but it already sounds quite promising.

The term "rage hack" usually refers to blatant cheats, such as a "spinner" — when a cheating player starts spinning and accurately shooting at opponents.

Gabe Follower promised to release a new video on the topic soon. Meanwhile, players on the forum and in the comments under the dataminer's post complain that the anti-cheat lets players through who (they believe) are using cheats, while the system allegedly unfairly bans honest users. In blogger "Rayz's" community, there are also reports of cheaters with "spinners and noclip" in matches.
