Overwatch

© 2024 | A guide to everything you need to know about Overwatch, including requirements to become an Overwatch Investigator.

What is Overwatch?

The Overwatch lets the CS:GO community regulate itself by allowing qualified and experienced members of the community (investigators) to review reports of disruptive behaviour, determine whether those reports are valid, and apply temporary bans if appropriate.

Prospective Overwatch Investigators are presented with an active Overwatch button in the main menu, which indicates that there is a pending case for them to evaluate. The investigators can then choose to participate by watching a replay (eight rounds worth or roughly 10 minutes) and selecting a verdict.

How do I become an Investigator?

New Overwatch Investigators are selected based on their CS:GO activity and account standing. Currently, the best way to become an Investigator is to play lots of matches in our official Competitive Matchmaking. We are slowly adding players to the pool of Investigators, and randomly pick them with consideration to their playtime and skill level. Community members who maintain both a high level of activity and high Overwatch scores will receive more cases to elect to participate in.

Requirements to obtain Overwatch

If you want to become an Overwatch Investigator you have to meet the requirements:

• Gold Nova I or higher
  
• Over 150 competitive wins
  
• 300+ hours on record
  
• Steam account age
  
• You can't be banned by VAC protection
  
  
• High Trust factor
  
• Low report rate

Remain in mind, you must maintain an active skill group in order to remain an Overwatch Investigator!

Can I earn XP for participating in Overwatch?

Yes. You can earn XP by submitting accurate verdicts in your cases. After several of your cases have been resolved, you will receive an XP reward based on the overall accuracy of your recent verdicts, scaled by your Overwatch Investigator score.
You can collect your reward by completing matches and earning XP in any official game mode.

Tips & Tricks
