FACEIT reacted quickly to one of the ugliest bugs of recent days in CS2. The platform reported that it has already rolled out a fix across all of its servers, removing the ability to abuse the command sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview to view enemy positions through the grenade camera.
A максимально fast response
This was exactly the kind of case where the reaction had to be as fast as possible — and FACEIT really did not delay. The exploit had already managed to alarm the community, because this was not about a minor visual bug, but about a real loophole that could break match integrity. Now the platform says that on its infrastructure, this problem has already been closed.

FACEIT confirmed the exploit fix on all servers
In its statement, FACEIT CS2 directly said that it had already rolled out a fix on all FACEIT servers. It is this fix that blocks the exploit connected to the console command sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview.
So for players on the platform, the main practical conclusion is very simple: on FACEIT specifically, this loophole, according to the official statement, should no longer work. And that is the most important part, because it is exactly there that things like this hit the competitive environment the hardest.
The exploit allowed players to see enemy positions through the grenade camera
The core of the issue was that abusing this command made it possible to use the grenade camera for something it was never intended for. As a result, a player could obtain information about opponents in a way they should not be able to in a normal match.
That is exactly why the topic spread through the community so quickly. If a bug allows someone to bypass the basic logic of smokes and positional vision, then this is no longer an “interesting technical glitch,” but a direct hit to competitive integrity.
This is an important signal for the whole scene as well
It is also important that FACEIT did not just acknowledge the problem, but publicly announced that it had been closed. In situations like this, a transparent response from the platform matters almost as much as the technical fix itself.
For the community, this is a good signal: when a critical exploit appears that affects match fairness, the platform is ready to react quickly rather than waiting until the story is completely out of control.

Grenade camera exploit
The story of the grenade camera exploit on FACEIT now appears to be closed. The platform has already stated that it fixed the issue on all of its servers and no longer allows sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview to be used to view enemy positions.
For players, that is probably the main good news in the whole case: one of the most worrying bugs of recent times should no longer work on FACEIT, at least.
