I've found these Box bot farms several times in different game modes, but mainly in casual. They fill the lobbies if there's any space and then kick all the players, so usually you can't even report them. However if you enter one of these lobbies and before chosing a team you place yourself as an expectator, you can report them and even watch their pathetic method, basically one player takes turns and kill all the players in the other team minus one, which are AFKing in spawn, then that last player alive, goes and kills all the other team, they keep repeating this. I had never found this in CS, but in CS2 I find these lobbies every week the movement and the behaviour of the players suggest that there's actually a person controlling them, probably all 10 characters in a single monitor. And let me tell you, that must be the most unskilled player I had ever seen, dude was having trouble not killing himself when going from spawn to spawn on vertigo.
You could go to the View section in CS:GO and just spectate games. Usually Global. The majority of them were 10 chinese accounts doing exactly what you described, in Competitive. They just have large numbers of 5 man teams, queue at the same time and snipe eachother, until they boost all accounts to global for sale value. It was in plain sight and they were still not getting banned.
Yeah just what I thought. If valve put just a little bit of effort into it it could be perfect. Maybe even pay like $0.01 to get different lobbies with people who also payed.
That is not how player count is tracked. Player count only tracks if the player is in Online mode, not if they are in offline mode OR have their account set to private. Bots operate in private for obvious reasons. Therefore the jump in player count is Barely increased due to bots. You can even see in thius video that they get vac banned. Try not to spread misinformation.
You'll spend like 3-4 hours at max to get the drops, then you wait for next Wednesday. Rinse and repeat. You won't be leaving your PCs 24/7 turned on. And since you run multiple accounts on one PC, doing 3 pcs with 60 accounts will result in net positive.
You gotta remember the money they get by doing this is probably in dollar. So conversion + electric cost of china being lower makes this shit profitable. TF2 has the same issue but with Russian botfarms
They arent running it 1 account per PC. All they do is collect drops, it's hundreds or thousands of accounts on a select few PCs. It would make zero sense to run one account per PC because your operating cost would be stupidly high and you'd be wasting 99% of the pc's computing power. It's literally just one PC and a bunch of VMs to accomodate a few customers. Anyone can set this up, and it's not even close to being uncommon in the world of gaming.
Thank you for assisting us with this clever logic that everyone could figure out themselves, except everyone else is smart enough to not even have to declare that 'They arent running it 1 account per PC' as that is so obvious you can know it before watching the video.

I stay in South Africa and have experienced the bot lobbies a few times already. Latency is average 400-450 ms for the bots (Latency from Johannesburg in South Africa to Hong Kong is 451ms). After sending Steam a report, I was told that I need to get screenshots of each account profile in the lobby and send that with the profile links to CS2 support which is absolutely impossible as there is no way outside of actually being IN the lobby to obtain the information requested in alternative game modes. 🤦♂
Valve is complicit with it. Bots raises player count which makes the game look good for outsiders. More money generated by bots also mean more money for Valve. Valve van easily close this loopholes, but Valve choose to ignore it because it also benefits them. Valve earned almost a billion dollars from case openings in 2023 alone.
This is happening in Apex as well. Chinese hackers will rank up accounts to resell them to idiots who buys these accounts. Causing a massive influx of hackers in high elo lobbies.
If Valve would intentionally allow this so they could make "billions" from case keys, why wouldn't they just increase the drop rate for cases for legit players? That way they would make their billions and not take a loss from the all the server power these botnets are hogging up and avoid the huge reputational loss they're taking from players getting annoyed by bot lobbies and players losing money from the value of their drops being reduced by bots hyperinflating drop items. Valve makes more money by forcing farmers to buy more prime accounts after they get banned, lol.

That's what happens when you basically get half a dollar per week per account minimum, with a chance of up to 300-400$ from the skin and case drops (if you get the Intergale and a bravo case drop best case scenario). People will run farms for it

I've been ran into these bot lobbies a few dozen times (I uploaded the video of my first time seeing this) and its a surreal experience since some of the lobbies will actually let you join the xp farm as long as you do the same as other bots while the rest of the lobbies usually just kicks you the moment you joined.
i would like a more often switch of the background songs. I personally couldnt stop hearing it (the same song), it broke my focus and made listening a bit "hard". Thanks for the nice footage!
I used to do same stuff back in dota2 battlepass days. You launch multiple instances of dota, queue a match in peru with korean language playing captains draft. Since no one in peru plays in korean and Captains draft - you'll get queued with yourself. The only thing that's left is to do the challenge and end the game. Rinse and repeat.
any game with trading option is not worth playing. trading ruined every game. Valve love it because it's generate billions to them, they don't care the bad side effects of it on the game itself.
I just encountered them yesterday. Me and my 3 friends all got kicked then we started all going in one team to kick bots, report and vote. I had to keep checking the scoreboard to see if any bot has joined.
That end part actually might be the reason why content is being released slower - but you have to also consider that they are rebuilding the ground from ground up (so it will take time regardless of the fact of botters / cheaters)
I’ve seen many of these “bots” at night in dm server, they can move, shoot, and kill, but in a very strange way literally like a bot. sometimes if they twit it too much, the bots kill you like hackers
TF2 has a massive botfarm problem too. Basically the same thing but the botfarms just idle on the main menu because you can still get your two weekly cases without joining a match
i cant even farm the weekly case by doing deathmatch, because i get booted by 12 people with the same exact ping, who are farming standing still. Legit I cannot even play deathmatch now, its been happening alot now
This happened in PUBG back in 2018.. 100 Players in lobby, 30 real players and 70 BOTS.. They farmed weekly cases because at that time it was marketable and easy profit
I have run into bot farm servers lots of time during CSGO as well and a few time in CS2. They're usually active during night time when there aren't a lot of other people playing. I search for casual match and get put into a lobby of 19 other bots, you get auto kicked within the first round of joining.
If you ever find yourself in such lobby, immediately kick any name, without thinking and they will be kicked, then do it again, and again and the server will be bot free. Did this and was laughing throughout.
Legit! During Tuesdays to Thursdays, Deathmatch servers in Asia are unplayable due to these bots occupying them. Sometimes, legit players get ousted as these bots join the server one-by-one. They will kick everyone and just occupy the servers and stay AFK with only 1 active player lurking and stabbing everyone with knife.
Actually here is how i can help you understand better. Valorant peaked across all platforms at 1.2 million concurrent viewers in their last major. CS2 peaked at around 1.8 million concurrent . This is viewers btw. More people play the game, rather than watch the majors. CSGO had a peak of 1.1 million viewers. Now for the bots, they can only do it once a week, and they have to queue up at the same time, or they get banned, as they show in this clip. There are not that many botters going arround to boost the stats. Also for your information, Steam does NOT count users that are private, or "offline" as playing a game. So these stats are rem,oved from Steams API, and it does not show up on Steamdb. So technically there are countless more players in cs2 concurrently than you know. Hope this helps you understand.
It happened to me. For some strange reason I got a casual match in a entirely different server in the other part of the world I was checking strange profiles and they played like literally inhuman and I knew those accounts were controlling with an AI to farm cases.

Bot farms exist in every game that has in-game purchases. Take Fifa or EA FC for example. Bot farms have been operating on that game on a global scale. And it’s out in the open
We should have a community that reports these accounts when they see it happening and receive rewards for it (Of course, first giving some information to Valve so that they can be verified players) Just make that code nerds have a hard job and they will give up
Certain CS2 game modes require certain maps. Those maps are being worked on, and will release with their respective game modes. Lake and Safehouse are coming soon.
old news also bot farms prior to weekly drops rework were FAR larger lol this is genuinely nothing compared to 2021-2022 bot farms that only needed to afk dm instead of wasting system resources on running the game and a cheat client at the same time above more than 10 fps per acc
I'm guessing those are the "bots" that join a server and kick every other user from the server. Effectively "hijacking" the server. Been kicked from games like that more times than I can count.
There were times that I joined a game where the players (now I know are bots) were just meeting in mid dust2....frag, and molotov each other. The other one was like in this vid where they immediately try to vote kick me. Didn't know I was up against a supercomputer😂😂
Yeah, I don't think the bot hosters understand how copyright works. They're just salty that they're now in the spotlight and their little scheme is now on notice.
And TF2, Valve's other main multiplayer title, has been dealing with nothing short of a bot crisis for the past 4 uninterrupted years. Welcome to Volvo Neglect boys
Yes it is automated. And yes its very easy to do. And yes It has been around since early days of CSGO. Haven't played CS2, but in CSGO after global elites the silver accounts were the most expensive and easiest to sell.

They don't just use aim hack cheat, the most disgusting part is that they're now vote-kicking everyone from the server.
Bot farms exist in every game that has in-game purchases. Take Fifa or EA FC for example. Bot farms have been operating on that game on a global scale. And it’s out in the open
And in in the end all farmers get exit scammed! :P
Why there wasn't a video about bot farm months ago? This has happened to me daily in ALL asian servers
When people are willing to invest in a bot farm you know your anti cheat is worthless
I thought valve stopped this in go when it was a lot worse with bots just spinning? Didn’t they change how XP works?
I'm actually surprise that CS2 is optimized enough to be used on multiple VMs in one pc
We should have a community that reports these accounts when they see it happening and receive rewards for it (Of course, first giving some information to Valve so that they can be verified players)
Just make that code nerds have a hard job and they will give up
this is probably why there are so many active players in CS2 right now, majority of them are literal bot farmers.
this has been happening in tf2 for like 5 years WOAW VALVE BAD YOU JUST FIGURED IT OUT!!!! LOL
This seems actually quite miniscule for how big CS is
In China?! That's the last country I would have thought to do this! What a sad sad surprise....
up to two? not anymore, it's fixed when you level up the first time at the week and resets at a fixed time
I got kicked from Flying Scouts bot lobbies so much in go. Interesting to see footage of the setup now in for cs2
if Valve gets to the point it will use kernel level security like RIOT's Vanguard, I wouldnt be surprised
Certain CS2 game modes require certain maps. Those maps are being worked on, and will release with their respective game modes. Lake and Safehouse are coming soon.
Its easier to respect a bot farmer than a cheater, one is actually trying to make money without ruining the core gameplay, the other just sucks ass.
old news
also bot farms prior to weekly drops rework were FAR larger lol
this is genuinely nothing compared to 2021-2022 bot farms that only needed to afk dm instead of wasting system resources on running the game and a cheat client at the same time above more than 10 fps per acc
I wonder if games by studios affiliated with Tencent have the same problem or at least to a similar degree? Honest question.
atm I cannot join a deathmatch server without there being at least one bot
I'm guessing those are the "bots" that join a server and kick every other user from the server. Effectively "hijacking" the server. Been kicked from games like that more times than I can count.
You don't play TF2? No? you do now
There were times that I joined a game where the players (now I know are bots) were just meeting in mid dust2....frag, and molotov each other. The other one was like in this vid where they immediately try to vote kick me. Didn't know I was up against a supercomputer😂😂
This is so common in Asian servers that were used to it
Funnily I stumbled a lot of farmers lobby in Office back csgo (least played map), they were farming global elite accounts.
Yeah, I don't think the bot hosters understand how copyright works.
They're just salty that they're now in the spotlight and their little scheme is now on notice.
Where there is cash, there is gonna be vultures .
TF2 player, We see bots, We click.
After mentioning the location of the bot farms an impulsive "Of course" was blurted out.
F2P is just the BEST!
And TF2, Valve's other main multiplayer title, has been dealing with nothing short of a bot crisis for the past 4 uninterrupted years. Welcome to Volvo Neglect boys
Yes it is automated.
And yes its very easy to do.
And yes It has been around since early days of CSGO.
Haven't played CS2, but in CSGO after global elites the silver accounts were the most expensive and easiest to sell.
I’m happy i’m able to buy Kilowatt cases at a good price to open. But I ain’t stand for bots.
I'm a victim of this and I want to do it now to get item drops
