Over 60% of CS2 Players Could Be Bots — How Many People Are Actually Playing

CS2 bots have become the new challenge in Counter-Strike 2 which has an active player base of millions around the world. Though there are large numbers of players who still regularly log in every month, a very loud percentage of the users possibly are fakes.

Such bots are however unfortunate, they are computer CS2 bots that are automated to carry out tasks and ruin the normal experience of true gamers. It is estimated that the bots in CS2 would even reach those figures at 60%, which inescapably raises a question of how many real CS players are remaining.

How Many Bots Are Among CS2 Players?

Not only has the estimation of the number of bots in CS2 been increasing but it has also been confirmed by many sources including farming software owners, community complaints and more focusing on this with an increase emphasis on the issue.

In particular, Reddit users have expressed their disappointment due to such gamers in modes like deathmatch where bots strictly rule the hub. Due to programmed scripts, these bots kick out actual gamers and inflict easy deaths on them which is frustrating and less fun to play against.

According to some estimates, as high as 60% of players on CS2 servers may be bots. This ratio corresponds well with the statements of owners of farming software who say that despite the intentions of Valve to eliminated cheaters from the game, bots are still a problem.

Moreover, such bots are working in aid of maintaining the active trading market on Steam where players buy and sell skins. It is said that without the presence of these bots, the amount traded in could greatly reduce thus they are able to almost enhance the economy of the game as a whole.

What Percentage Of Real Human Players Actually Play CS2?

Assuming 60 percent of CS2 players are bots, we can make rough calculations about the ACTUAL number of live players.

During the peak times for the game, the online player count reaches a maximum 800,000. Now if we assume that 60 percent of those are bots, this leaves about the real players number of around 320,000 who are active in the game during the peak periods. 

All things being equal, this figure is bound to be differential in value through the course of a day. For instance, in peak evenings when the total online figure is in the region of 500,000, the real number of players interacting with the game could be approximately 200,000.

This implies that on average the count for the day of the actual viewers who are human might be 560,000 which is quite shocking compared to the total number of players on the servers.

Why Bots in CS2 Is a Must for Players?

Bingo, spam bots in cs2 does not all share the same functionality. There are some built-in bots in CS2 which are controlled by the game’s AI which are for the purpose of training or filling empty slots in the server.

However, the problem appears when such third-party bots are deployed by gamers or users who use cheats and cheatsowany scripts and other shit.

These bots assure victories and help the players earn skins in loot cases. Each of such skins is able to be sold on the steam market for a good price and make profit that is really high.

In why players use bots, it is easy to guess that the aim is to farm cases — the method of obtaining and selling skins that can be sold. There are programs with subscription fees estimated to be around 15 dollars per month and within a couple of weeks such a business is profitable.

The difference when it comes to simple players is the fact that farm owners can have several accounts at the same time and earn more than a single account could. This farming that is being automated help to keep the marketplace healthy but quite a lot destruct the experience of playing as a whole.

Perhaps due to these estimates, the total number of real players in CS2 will reach fewer players than average at that specific time of day and will vary for a multitude of reasons in the future.

For example during a crucial update or when the player base is at its peak, the bots should be below the maximum threshold and actual players above it. On the contrary during off peak times or when there are no regular updates to the game, bots may rise up to a level of close to seventy percent of the player base on average.

As for the last one there are also a lot of bots in the CS2 game and with regards to the live players clearly in the case for an out portion.
