| Misconception | Reality | |---------------|---------| | A VAC or Game Ban | ❌ No Steam profile ban | | Permanent record | ❌ Resets each session | | Reportable to Overkill | ❌ Only visible to players | | A kick/ban | ❌ Host must manually kick |

In Payday 2 , you’ll see the tag if:

Some mods (like , PocoHud , Better Bots ) are fine, but others (like carry stacker , unlimited deployables , modded weapons ) will trigger the tag.

The game may send an automated system message to the lobby chat stating that you are using a cheated item or have triggered a cheat flag.
