The ecosystem of CS:GO is different from that of most other games of the same genre. Platforms like Faceit provide a lot of opportunities for a fair and interesting game, however, most CS:GO users still prefer to compete in matchmaking. It is for playing in matchmaking mode that you need a green trust or a green trust factor in your profile.
What is the trust factor
The trust factor in CS:GO is the official characteristic that Valve programmers came up with. This factor is in the profile of each player. It is needed to assess the so-called “decency”. In simple terms, this factor allows us to evaluate the following characteristics of a single player:
- communication with teammates (teammates) and with rivals;
- honesty of the game in terms of following the rules, so as not to damage or kill your teammates;
- not using cheats (special programs to simplify the game process and gain an advantage over other players).
Based on the received data, each player’s trust factor is formed. For example: that player who is constantly dissatisfied with the actions of his teammates and constantly yells at them will have a rather low trust factor. The same applies to those players who have been caught using any cheats and other third-party programs at least once.
If we reduce the confidence factor to one indicator, we get the following rule: the lower this indicator is, the better the quality of the matches of an individual player will gradually deteriorate. Players with low trust get partners with similar players, as a result, the entire gameplay of such a team comes down to simple abuse and showdown between themselves. As a result, such a team will most likely lose the match.
How to find out the trust factor and what influences it
As stated in the official information from Valve, it is impossible to find out your trust factor. But, many players have come to the conclusion that there are a number of factors that will surely help increase your trust factor. We will discuss these factors in more detail below.
How to play with a high trust factor
To do this, you will have to adhere to the following recommendations:
- exchange praises with teammates after each match;
- systematically play in matchmaking mode with friends who also want to increase the trust factor, since it will be much easier to exchange praises;
- do not shoot at teammates and do not receive temporary bans in the game;
- not use cheats or other third-party programs to gain a gaming advantage;
- do not play from different Steam accounts from the same IP address.
Subject to the above factors, the green trust will definitely be on your profile in CS:GO!
