What definitely leads to a VAC ban
- Aimbots and triggerbots — programs that automatically aim or fire on a player's behalf by reading process memory
- Wallhack/ESP — displaying enemy positions through walls
- Modifying game files — altering models, textures, or code for an advantage
- Process memory injection — any software that reads or writes to CS2's address space
What does NOT lead to a VAC ban
| Action | Ban risk |
|---|---|
| Programmable mouse macros | None — they operate outside the game process |
| Configs and autoexec.cfg | None — a standard game feature |
| Third-party monitoring tools (HWInfo) | None — they don't interact with CS2 |
| Skins via third-party marketplaces | Depends on the platform — trade-ban risk, not VAC |
The difference between a VAC ban and Trust Factor / Overwatch
A VAC ban is automatic cheat detection by Valve Anti-Cheat. A lowered Trust Factor or temporary Overwatch restrictions are a separate reputation system based on community reports, not a technical memory-level analysis.
Bottom line on macros and VAC
Since programmable mouse macros run at the driver level rather than the game-process level, they don't fall under any category VAC is technically able to detect. Over 3+ years, MACROSCS clients have had 0 bans.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are MACROSCS macros cheats?
No. MACROSCS macros run inside the mouse's own software (Logitech G HUB, Bloody LK-Libra, Razer Synapse). They never interact with CS2 game files and never modify process memory. It is the same as programming a mouse button to do something - completely legal and does not violate Valve's rules.
Is VAC Safe a guarantee?
VAC analyzes the game process, not the mouse driver. Since our scripts run at the mouse firmware level, VAC physically cannot see them. Across MACROSCS's entire history (1200+ clients) - 0 VAC bans.
Which mice do the macros work with?
Supported: Logitech G (G HUB), Bloody (LK-Libra / Oscar Editor), Razer (Synapse 3), and SteelSeries (GG Engine). A separate script file and instructions are provided for each platform.
Do the macros work on FACEIT?
FACEIT Anti-Cheat operates at the kernel level and checks game memory. Our macros run in the mouse software and never touch the CS2 process, so FACEIT has no way to detect them. Thousands of FACEIT players use MACROSCS daily.
How long does a macro keep working after a CS2 update?
Valve occasionally changes recoil patterns in patches. All MACROSCS clients get updated scripts for free within 24-48 hours of a patch release, via our Telegram channel.
Can I try a macro before buying?
Yes. Message us on Telegram @macroscs and we will provide a 30-minute demo version to test on your mouse and setup.
How much does it cost and how do I buy?
Price depends on the package: Basic (1 weapon) - $5, PRO (all CS2 weapons) - $15, Ultimate (CS2 + PUBG) - $25. Payment via crypto or card. Full details on Telegram @macroscs.
