FACEIT nukes 125+ cheaters
FACEIT banned 125+ CS2 accounts tied to a wallhack exploit that used modified game files — the anti‑cheat team says it’s actively hunting abusers. (x.com)
FACEIT published the advisory on its community X on March 20, 2026 and same‑day coverage from HLTV and RTP quoted the post as the platform began enforcement activity. (hltv.org) FACEIT’s public banning policy classifies in‑game bug abuse — examples listed include removing textures or smoke grenades — as a “most severe” offense that generally carries a two‑year platform ban. (support.faceit.com) Independent trackers captured a spike of FACEIT ban entries stamped March 20, 2026, reflecting the platform’s ongoing purge of accounts flagged during the enforcement sweep. (faceittracker.net) A close precedent occurred on April 8, 2024, when FACEIT imposed multihundred two‑year bans over a console‑command wallhack; that wave prompted Eternal Fire to terminate academy players Ahmet “cyber” Akpınar and Bilgihan “Depact” Ayaz after their bans were issued.
