Valve whips out the ban hammer for CS2 players and streamers using XP exploit

The Armory update was one of the biggest patches in CS2‘s brief one-year history. However, it invited a plethora of money-hungry players who wished to exploit its XP system and farm stars as fast as possible, ruining casual matchmaking. Now, Valve has decided to ban them all.

Whether you are a streamer or a regular player, you won’t be spared Valve’s keen ban hammer targeting everyone who participated in exploiting deathmatch and casual matches for the sake of farming Armory Pass XP. According to Pricempire on X, several popular CS2 content creators, including ArrowCS, Aquaismissing, Duwap, and others, have been issued one-year trade bans for their participation in Armory Pass XP farming in the game’s casual modes, while the CS2 subreddit is seeing numerous other players who met the same fate. It’s interesting to note that Anomaly, one of the biggest CS2 creators who made a video showing how to pull off the Dust 2 XP exploit, hasn’t been banned as of this article.
