Reasons That Can Cause a VAC BAN In CS2
The system is the same in CS:GO and CS2. Although it has been updated, you should take the same precautions.
To know exactly the reason for your BAN, enter CS:GO and hover your mouse over the RED bar that indicates the VAC BAN, there you will see a legend indicating the reason, for example, PROBLEMATIC, VERY PROBLEMATIC, UNTRUSTED ACCOUNT, LINKED ACCOUNT and OTHERS.
- Read more details [HERE about OVERWATCH BAN]
- Read [HERE about TRUST FACTOR] which can also lead to VAC if you already had a BANNED account on the same PC.
- Using the cheat in "rage" mode causes the ban by VAC_NET.
- Using the same cell phone number or email from another banned account, all associated accounts will get a BAN (open CSGO, hover over the red bar indicating the VAC BAN and you will see the reason).
- Using third-party Skins or Inventory Changers (not the one provided by Goowned).
- Using other free cheats (and some paid ones).
- Using pages or programs for "boosting" hours, ranks or achievements; untrustworthy free ones.
- Attempting to inject programs or DLLs with third-party software.
- Using Bunny hop or silent aim is a reason for ban by vac_net and/or overwatch. The cheat is undetected, but the way you use it is not.
- Modifying or using programs that modify CSGO or Steam files.
It is worth clarifying that VAC BANs are not automatic, you can do something named above and the ban will arrive from 30 to 60 days later.
If you are a new user of Goowned and received a VAC BAN, it is very likely because of some cheat you used previously, or because of Overwatch... NOT ours.
Another thing to keep in mind
If you received a ban on previous accounts, you MUST format your PC, since VAC BANs are possible to "drop" after a while due to HWID (They are not automatic).
