Like with any competitive multiplayer game, there's a big market for cheats in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Valve's timeless first-person shooter has an incredibly high skill ceiling, and some players will resort to using CS:GO cheats or hacks to make their way to the elusive rank of Global Elite.
It can be tempting to cheat when you're constantly dying to better players, but doing so can lead to some pretty bad repercussions. If you value your Steam account and the ability of playing online multiplayer games with friends, you might want to reconsider. With permanent CS:GO bans and VAC bans on the line, the risks seriously outweigh the benefits of downloading a dodgy script you found online.
Nevertheless the world of cheating in games, and more specifically in CS:GO is fascinating, and we don't blame you if it's piqued your interest. So, without further ado, here's everything you need to know about CS:GO cheats, how to catch a cheater, and what punishments they may face.
