Can you use null binds and Snap Tap on FACEIT?

Null binds are shaking up the competitive gaming scene, and FACEIT’s new guidelines are turning heads.

In the fast-paced world of competitive gaming, players constantly seek ways to gain an edge over their opponents. One old technique, that has garnered attention recently, is the concept of null binds.

Null bind, a term used to describe specific key bindings created with console commands that make you unable to input multiple keys at the same time, including the ability to make perfect player movements, is now the topic of discussion in the CS community.

Are null binds allowed on FACEIT?

Yes, but with certain caveats. FACEIT permits null binds on their platform as long as they comply with their cheating policy. This was made clear in the recent FACEIT patch notes.

Some keyboard manufacturers have integrated null binds on a hardware level, such as Razer’s Snap Tap and Wooting’s SOCD. This new feature is also permitted to be used on FACEIT in all matches.

FACEIT has decided to allow null binds on their platform, but not for all players, which has caught the attention of many users.

Null binds are no longer allowed in ESEA matches

ESEA, following EPT rules, has taken a stricter approach which bans the use of null binds. It is clearly stated in EPT rules that only buy, toggle weapons and grenades, quick switch, and jump throw binds and scripts are allowed.

In the same blog post, FACEIT confirmed that ESEA will remain null bind-free, even though players can enable it in general matches on the platform. It is worth nothing, Razer’s Snap Tap and Wooting’s SOCD are surprisingly allowed on ESEA. This has led to an ongoing discussion within the community. As far as software and scripted null binds go, they are officially forbidden on ESEA and may lead to punishment.
