How to Check Your Trust Factor in CS:GO (2024 Guide)

As of 2024, CS:GO (now CS2) doesn't have a direct way to view your trust factor score. However, I'll explain how to get an indication of your trust factor status and what it means for your gameplay experience.

The primary way to check your trust factor is through notifications that appear when playing with friends. If your trust factor is lower than your teammates', they'll see a message warning them about playing with you.

Here's what you need to do to get an indication of your trust factor:

1. Launch CS2 (formerly CS:GO)
2. Join a lobby with friends who have good standing accounts
3. If your trust factor is low, your friends will see a yellow or red message
4. No message means your trust factor is likely in good standing

The warning messages appear in two colors:

• Yellow: Indicates slightly lower trust factor
• Red: Indicates significantly lower trust factor

It's important to note that Valve intentionally keeps the exact trust factor score hidden to prevent manipulation of the system.

To maintain a good trust factor, follow these practices:

• Play regularly and complete matches
• Avoid abandoning games
• Don't receive reports for toxic behavior
• Maintain a prime account
• Play with a good internet connection
• Don't cheat or use third-party software

Trust factor directly impacts your matchmaking experience by determining:

• Quality of matches
• Wait times for games
• Type of players you're matched with

Remember that trust factor is dynamic and can improve over time with consistent good behavior. If you're receiving low trust factor warnings, focus on maintaining positive gameplay habits and your score should gradually improve.

While you can't see the exact number, these indicators should give you a good idea of where your account stands in the trust factor system.
