November 2025 snapshot

What changed in Valve's trust math

We track every public tweak Valve has rolled into CS2 matchmaking so you know which levers to pull before your next scrim.

Behavior score Commends now weigh 2× Positive reports in the last 14 days offset grief flags faster than before, so stack cheerful squadmates to buffer trust dips.
Security signals Fresh VAC sweeps Valve quietly added a background sweep for injector residues. Run the PC Checker first, then TrustFactor to prove you are clean.
Identity footprint Public data required Limited profiles now default to low trust. Flip privacy toggles to public and keep CS2 hours above 100 to stay in the high bucket.

FAQ & guide

What is the Trust Factor and why track it now?

Trust Factor is Valve's internal safety score for CS2 matchmaking. The November 2025 patch folds in behavior reports, VAC telemetry, Steam privacy, queue abandon rates, and community activity. Monitoring it tells you whether staff or teammates will see you as a risk before you load into Premier.

Advantages Instant transparency Share the report in Discord tickets or tournament check-ins to prove you're high-trust.
Safety Valve-compliant We only use official APIs and our own heuristics—no shady hooks, no bans.
Support 24/7 staff Ping us if you need white-glove help recovering a flagged account.

Improvement checklist

Free actions that still raise trust in 2025

  1. Play out streaks. Finish 8–10 Premier matches without abandons; Valve now penalizes serial dodges harder than VAC history.
  2. Stack commends. Ask high-trust teammates for Friendly/Teacher kudos after each win to counterbalance legacy grief reports.
  3. Polish your Steam presence. Keep privacy fully public, add screenshots, guides, and legit groups—limited accounts auto-drop to low trust.
  4. Stay clean locally. Run the PC Checker before scrims so the scanner sees a zero-residue machine alongside your Steam data.
  5. Queue with the right people. Party with players who already scan as High; their behavior score now drags you upward twice as fast.
