How do I get 5 ping?

[Angry Old Man]

It's funny that there are so many people in casual servers that have a ping of 5 these days. It's funny because it's basically impossible to connect to a US-based server and have a ping of 5.

Valve Anti-Cheat can't pick up on someone spoofing/manipulating their ping through various methods. Way to go Valve!

5ms is certainly possible, depends on your location and the servers location primary, but also ISP provider and network type.

Typically see it a lot against scandavian players but have seen it on UK servers also, myself included.

Not every 5ms ping is someone masking their ping.

Well, I haven’t had as low as 5 but my standart ping is between 8 and 15 while playing on a server that’s based in a neighbouring country. Is there a reason you’re aiming for such a low ping? I haven’t had any issues with my 15 ping.

And I doubt you can lower your ping by manipulating some programs. If you’re close to the server you’re on and your internet is good- you’re gonna have a lower ping.

cl_cmdrate +100 is the command to get 5 ping.

If you live close to the server you can have around 5 ping, just remember that the ping showing in the scoreboard its average ping its not the correct ping, if you want to see the correct ping you have to type ping in the console.

u need to live in the nasa office

I get under 10 ping in casual and deathmatch servers here in chicago must be near me lol

[ADONIS7]

you have to be very close to the server

[Angry Old Man]

I suppose most of you don't understand internet sarcasm.

The answer is no, even if you ARE ON TOP OF THE SERVER your ping won't be 5.

The answer is one I already know...people are using some sort of VPN to spoof their connection. It's not necessarily new but the bottom line is people will cheat to win which is something Valve won't do anything about.

Close to 5 isn't 5. I'm talking about people with a ping locked at 5. This is an indication that the individual is cheating.

If you are near the server, hell even if you are in the next room of the server, your ping wouldn't be 5. You'd also need Elon Musk's PC. The "5 ping phenomena" has become too common to say some kid who admits he's in Easter Europe is connecting to a US-based server.

You can have 5 ping, this happen a lot in sweden, when you are in Stockholm bc the server are in Stockholm, But when we are talking about how spit the servers are yes its pretty hard to found a person that lives that close to a server. Outside that most off the people playing csgo have there internet speed from 2001 or even worst haha

I'm not in Sweden. I'm in the US and I am talking about people from Europe connecting to a US server with a 5 ping. The only way you explain that is using a form of a VPN to spoof your ping which is a violation of the terms of service.

If you read what i sayed you wont type what you type, vpn dont make your ping lower it will make it the same or a bit higher depends on how far you are from the vpn server. You can use a vpn to connect to a close server and then get 5 min its not a thing and its not how vpn works

[sylvester]

manipulate ping? so move closer to server?

[Ray Benchmark]

You can't just get a ping of 5. The ping is decided by the routing, how far and how many hops the server is away.

You can open cmd and use the command "tracert IP" or "tracert website-url" to find out how many hops it took and how your ping changed.
