Does Valve ever ban cheaters in TF2 nowadays?

[Emperor Nichijao]

I have a huge feeling they dont ban cheaters at all these days, and they only ban those who have like a old cheat. Out of my 4 years of playing tf2, I've seen countless people with $700+ worth of items hacking in casual

Yes, constantly.

Valve has a no tolerance attitude to cheaters. Their software is cutting edge to detect would be cheaters and penalize accordingly.

Yeah

If you are talking about bots then yes, I agree.
Otherwise, nah I dont really think so

Yeah but that mostly only happens in CS:GO rather than TF2

Valve do indeed ban cheaters in TF2 but their virus signature database is a bit out of date so the more popular/hidden cheats don't get popped as often as they should unless the user rage toggles.

The more common f2p cheats get popped pretty quickly though, some of which get nabbed literally right when they try to connect to a match.

I dont think there are 7 years old cheats still working and anyway ban is too slow and cheaters have all time to make rank to farm case,medals, to sell accounts to Make new accounts and enough money to rebuy prime i said rebuy maybe this is the problem: money

VAC is working as intended fine. Can't you see threads in this forum?

VAC works the exact same way in every game that uses it... and

That statement is still true.

TF2 doesn't have "prime" like CSGO does....

"unless the user rage toggles."
I honestly doubt that since I've seen that countless times in casual, and I look back on their profile and it seems they arent banned

And no, its not bots

Let me put it this way.

TF2 is not CS:GO.

Oh yeah its working alright. FOR OLD OR FREE CHEATS

People can still get away with this stuff with various mechanics like this:

It even says it on the tf2 wiki.

I played this game for 4 years and I've seen all of it

Note what you just quoted, for the newer/better cheats to get detected, they basically have to toggle every option under the sun on to get caught really.

There were a pair I kept running into on 2fort who were silent aimers, obvious cheats to players but not obvious to the system.

They got detected eventually because in a match I was in them with, our entire team basically got together to target them. Legit we had one of them who was full blown spin botting, using anti-stab, ESP, crit hacking, and bhop scripting by the end of the match. It was only then was he detected, and eventually banned 2 weeks later (due to how VAC works)
