Yes, these mods fall under the same restrictions because they are generating/simulating items that are not owned by a player. (1) Do mods that provide custom knives (e.g., ‘vanilla’ Karambit or Bayonet knives) fall under the same restrictions as mods that spoof other inventory items like weapon skins or display items? We will continue to monitor the players experience on community servers, and may reevaluate if further actions need to be taken to ensure that server operators comply with the request above. If for some reason you are unable or unsure of whether a particular plugin should be removed, feel free to contact us. If your server provides any of the above services then we request that you disable them. – Interfering with systems that allow players to correctly access their own CS:GO inventories, items, or profile.įor clarification, it is also not acceptable to provide players with custom models and/or weapon skins that do not exist in the CS:GO ecosystem. – Providing a falsified competitive skill group and/or profile rank status or scoreboard coin (e.g., Operation Challenge Coins). – Allowing players to claim temporary ownership of CS:GO items that are not in their inventory (Weapon skins, knives, etc.).

Therefore, we are asking server operators to remove any mods and plugins that falsify the contents of a player’s profile or inventory. These mods inaccurately report the contents of a player’s inventory and/or matchmaking status, devaluing both and potentially creating a confusing experience for players. We’re aware that some server operators are offering to their players false inventories and/or profiles as a free or paid service via mods on their servers. Over the past month, 3.1 mln unique players were observed playing on community servers and this number keeps growing each month.

In July 2015 the CS:GO team reached out with a request to server operators to stop providing services that falsify the contents of a player’s profile or inventory:ĬS:GO community servers provide valuable experiences to players and communities, and are serving more players than ever before.
