What is the trust factor in KS2?

After the cs2 update in June 2018, we were introduced to a method that allows us to sort players by the quality of their behavior and generally improve the gaming experience. The trust level is formed based on a large number of game factors of your account, which we will talk about, a little further on.

As you can observe in the example images below, you can have green, yellow and red confidence levels. Unfortunately valves do not give us a numerical value of this parameter, so we can check it only by these icons

Red Confidence Factor

If you receive this message, it means that the player you are in the matchmaking queue with has a hidden trust confidant that is significantly lower than yours. The game will match an opponent with a similarly low trust rating, even though the other members of the group may be fine with the rating

Yellow Confidence Factor

This table means that the trust level of the player in the lobby is slightly lower than the other team members and the game will still pick the opponent based on the lowest rating for the group

Green Confidence Factor

If you don't get any trust factor message while searching for a game with your friends, it means that all players in the group are about equal, which is not always a quality indicator since I will note that if you take 2 low rated players, they won't see any plaque since the game determines that both players are playing on a low trust factor. So read on to find out how to really determine your Trust Factor

How do I check what level of Trust Factor?

If you want to check if your trust factor is Red (Lowest) or has a positive value, you can follow the steps below:

1. Find a player who has a guaranteed green Trust Factor level. You can do this by such items as:

• Ideally you want a player with 150+ wins, multiple medals, badges and other attributes of a quality account
• A player has never been highlighted in red or yellow in a queue with other players
• Any player who regularly watches patrols in ks2 is guaranteed to have an increased Trust Factor level

2. Go to the lobby with that player and start searching for a match in "Teammates" mode, i.e. 2 on 2 and if you don't get any low confidence warnings, you are guaranteed a Green level

It's not the easiest way, but it's the only way that works at the moment

Do you have low confidence for no reason?

There are many factors that cause your Confidence Level to be red or yellow, let's go over the main reasons:

1. You are playing without prime status. At the moment, having prime status on your account is a very important part of it
2. Obviously, if you have even a prime account, but regularly receive reports (complaints) for cheats or incorrect behavior your trust level will quickly fall into the red zone
3. Playing with other players who have low levels of trust (in a group) is also often an additional factor
4. You have a new account that is not linked to a phone, few transactions, purchases in the store and the game in general

How do you increase your Trust factor and improve your recruitment?

If you already know you're confidence level is red or yellow, you can take the following steps:

1. Get as many likes as possible from other users in different modes, you can just ask for it
   You can also gain likes by a simpler method with us - The recruitment of likes instantly raises the Trust Factor
2. Increase game activity in kc2 - you need to play different modes, including competitive, without getting reports
3. Watch Patrol! - If you already have this feature available on your account, watch 10-15 patrol entries and you'll notice a change in your confidence level in a few days
4. Make your steam account more active - Play other games, leave comments in the Steam community and generally make your account more lively
5. Be sure to link your phone number to your account
6. The last proven way to increase the Trust factor - Remove the restriction of the account by buying something on 5$, for accounts where the restriction is already removed, take the game at a discount, in general, show financial activity on the account
