Valve is apparently upping its crackdown on cheating in CS2, as the company has issued 12 times more VAC bans today than the average. The community, starved for any information on an updated anti-cheat, is now hopeful that Valve’s latest and greatest ban wave is slowly coming to fruition.

Several big Reddit threads have cropped up today, April 27, regarding the uptick in issued VAC bans, which are sitting at 12 times the average at the time of writing. Though not many in raw numbers (around 130 people were VAC banned today), that’s a lot, considering only around 10 or fewer get the hammer each day. This pales in comparison to the February VAC ban wave when Valve gave the boot to over 20,000 players, though the CS2 community is hopeful this uptick means something far greater is coming.
