How do I get better trust factor?

[Alexis babby]

I've recently started playing competitive, and the amount of cheaters is insane! I come from source and that game seems to have a WAY better anti cheat. Why do new players start in the low trust factor?

keep playing game more hours u got more trust u gain it like faceit fb system.

I've never played face it. I played source for over 10k hours and anytime a cheater was blatant they were Vac'd almost instantly or booted by admin then Vac'd. Don't see why a new CS2 player has to be dragged through the trenches of HvH just to find normal games.

1. CS:S is way less popular and has way less incentives built into the game to cheat, for example, there are no ranks (only per-community server/per-group of community servers), no global stats, no award for winning, no global XP, and community servers have admins that will just ban cheaters as soon as they see them cheat. admins also manually review demos per reports.
2. the only way to get better trust factor is to get through this hell you are in now (I assume you really are meeting a lot of cheaters) without doing anything wrong yourself. only your behavior matters, so just keep trying to play the game even if you know you'll lose anyway, don't grief and don't provoke people to report your for griefing.

for me it took like 2 years to notice a considerable difference in my trust factor.

you might be better off just playing on faceit but it has a lot of its own downsides too

2 years! Doesn't seem worth it then.

yeah, 2 years to stop getting spinbotters every few matches, and every other match in Wingman, and start getting at least yellow trust factor warnings about cheaters who get 5v5 HvH experience every single match they play

maybe something has changed though now and it's not going to be 2 years, maybe less now, but that's what my experience was

Nope, since you just started, just leave while you can or find another reason to play it (like collecting service medals), but you can do that playing casual matches and leave whenever you find a cheater.

Are there certain maps I can play? Dust 2 has all cheaters, so does mirage. And office as well.

no, cheaters usually don't care what map to play, they just want to get into a match faster so they select all maps.

although Office for some reason has been considered to be an almost dedicated to HvH map in the HvH community, so you will find cheaters much more often there

trust factor is myth ! don´t think about it. u can play for thousands of hours and still get matched with cheaters and new players, especially cs2 matchmaking system is trash, cs2 is not competetive game anymore

trust factor isn't a myth, there are players which play at identical times in identical regions but one player gets 80 matches with blatant cheaters out of 100 on average, and the other gets 10 matches with blatant cheaters out of 100 on average

it doesn't matter how high your trust factor is though — you will still get cheaters, just less, and it doesn't mean that "your trust factor is too low", it means that trust factor can't keep up that fast with some cheaters who, for example, had high trust for their whole time playing the game but one day only just now decided to cheat, or when a cheater buys a stolen account that had a high trust and doesn't change a lot of account details.

You keep claiming TF is a thing, but noone of us have seen the TF warning in CS2.. You are making things up?

I'm not making things up, I don't have a reason for that. I've just been seeing trust factor warnings in CS2 myself:

However I do acknowledge that they removed these warnings for some reason, while trust factor itself still is working:
