How to get a patrol in CS:GO

Want to know how to get patrol in CS:GO? Then you're sure to like this material. We will try to explain in as much detail and step-by-step as possible what it is, for what purposes it is suitable, and what the consequences are. No matter how you slice it, patrol — is a very serious position within the gaming community. Not surprisingly, Valve has high requirements for all participants, including:

• experience;

• skill;

• diligence;

• analytical mindset;

• overall reputation.

Now let's talk about all the nuances in detail.

Where and how to get the opportunity to patrol in CS GO?

Many rush to the investigators in vain, because the selection there is almost like in astronauts, or even tougher. To get a patrol in CS:GO in 2021, players will need to:

• Play at least 350 hours in all modes with an emphasis on competitive modes;

• get 150 team wins in competitions;

• achieve a rank no lower than «Gold Nova I» (Silvers are not liked anywhere, and so already have a star on their epaulettes — means experienced, fought a lot);

• have an impeccable reputation within the game and in the Steam gaming community;

• not to get any VAC-blocking before obtaining rights. 

Strictly, but allows you to weed out «willing», which in any unclear situation attribute unnecessary sins to honest gamers playing on PRO-level.

Once the player meets all the conditions, the corresponding tab will appear on the main screen.

Now you — full-fledged virtual «vigilante» with the ability to view replays and make a verdict on other players who are not playing in good faith in CS:GO.

And we move on.

Who to judge and by what methods?

Steam's internal system regularly tracks activity on the servers and systematically monitors anomalous phenomena during the game. These may include:

• A sudden flood of complaints about one player or an entire team;

• suspicious messages (match-fixing, setup, collusion, etc.);

• clear signs of third-party software interference in the game session.

The system also accumulates complaints, reproaches and abusive language towards a particular gamer until a critical mass is accumulated. Patrol members are then given a packet «of allegations», which must be trashed.

A patrol member is given a tape of a match or multiple matches where the main offender is signed as «Suspect». Other players have had their nicknames changed for privacy purposes. Also unavailable is information from chat rooms and voice messages. The verdict is based solely on the actions of the suspected combatant.

After receiving a patrol in CS CS CS and deciding to act within the bounds of legality, the system will present a list of items to give «verdict» on the previously viewed record.

There are only 2 response options: «insufficient evidence» and «there are compelling reasons», which is sufficient.

Now for the points:

• Help in aiming — influence on the game of various AIM-cheats, auto-aims and other software that allows you to instantly aim at vulnerable points of the enemy;

• Detection aids — use of wave hacks, transparent walls, scanners, modified textures, canceling the actions of light and noise grenades;

• Other aids — speedhack, accelerated reloading, infinite ammo, eagle eye, etc.

A separate item is a minor violation for inappropriate player behavior: mats, insults, shooting at your own or deliberately surrendering the roll to please the other side.

The patrolman is obliged to rule on all four points, doing so knowingly and with an understanding of responsibility. If everything is done correctly — you can get a patrol medal in CS:GO, increasing your own rank and increasing loyalty from Steam.

Is there a system of hierarchy?

Do not think that the vigilante can become anyone who wants, and all will be equal. Your verdict will be reviewed by the higher-ups.

And then there's a simple procedure. If the system (and its participants) determines that the vast majority of patrollers are unanimous in their decision, the case automatically goes to «closed» status with a verdict for the guilty gamer. The sentence shall be carried out immediately and shall consist of the following penalties:

• felony — cheater;

• misdemeanor — unsportsmanlike conduct, or simply inadequate;

• insufficient evidence — patrol members did not come to a common denominator.

Account is blocked for 7 or more days depending on the type of crime.

It is impossible to remove the ban, especially a permanent one. Fans who like to play with cheats will have to face a sad truth:

• Your account is finally and irrevocably dead, as well as all the stuff on it;

• stop playing with banned software, it's not worth it;

• unofficial servers with the same cheaters — is not cool and quickly gets boring.

It is useless to write to support — the decision is final and cannot be appealed.

All patrollers who considered the case, get additional experience on the account, if the majority of participants agree in a unanimous opinion. In parallel, the reputation of «vigilantes», they start to be offered more cases, rolls and influence. If the system sees that you are failing, or if you make a verdict based on «hat» arguments — account rating gradually drops. 

Also, don't forget that once you become a patrolman, you can't drop your rank below Gold Nova I. Reduced to «silvers» — start all over again.
