What is Refreak?

Refreak — Faceit Helper is a browser extension that enhances your FACEIT experience with useful, context‑aware information and fast access to CS2 learning resources. It’s designed to reduce pre‑match uncertainty and help you enter the server with a plan.

Grab it from the Chrome Web Store: Refreak — FACEIT Helper.

Core Features

Smurf Detection

  • Analyzes player activity, rating swings, recent performance, and profile behavior.
  • Highlights potential smurfs and risky accounts with clear badges in the lobby.
  • Helps new players avoid unfair games and lets experienced stacks adapt picks/roles.

Grenade Guides from the Lobby

  • Open curated grenade videos for the current map right from FACEIT.
  • Covers all major maps with reliable, up‑to‑date lineups for smokes, flashes, and mollies.
  • Perfect for last‑minute refreshers before queue pops or veto finishes.

Readable Player Cards

  • Cleaner, more informative lobby context so you can read teams at a glance.
  • Minimal noise; emphasizes the information that actually changes decisions.

Pre‑Match Workflow

Use Refreak to make the first 60 seconds count:

  1. Scan the lobby for smurf signals and risky profiles.
  2. Decide between comfort picks vs. denial picks in veto.
  3. Open the grenade panel for your likely map; share one lineup per site with the team.

How to Install

  1. Visit the Chrome Web Store: Refreak — FACEIT Helper
  2. Click Add to Chrome → Add Extension.
  3. Pin the extension (optional) for quick access.

Permissions are minimal and used strictly to render enhancements on FACEIT pages.

Quick Start: 30‑Second Checklist

  • Open a FACEIT lobby page.
  • Look for smurf/risk indicators on player cards.
  • Click the Grenades module → pick your map → watch one lineup you’ll use first gun round.
  • Share the video or key timing with your stack.

Best Practices

  • Treat indicators as signals, not verdicts; combine with your own read.
  • Pick one smoke and one pop flash per site before the game starts.
  • If a suspected smurf is on the enemy team, adjust veto towards maps where your team structure is strongest.

Privacy and Security

Refreak is built with a privacy‑first approach:

  • No invasive data collection; only the minimum required to enhance FACEIT pages.
  • Runs locally in your browser; doesn’t require account logins.
  • You can disable it per‑site at any time.

Performance and Compatibility

  • Built to be lightweight and responsive; it won’t slow down your browsing or FACEIT.
  • Works best on Chromium‑based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave). Firefox support is planned.

FAQ

  • Is this allowed on FACEIT? Yes. It’s a browser UI helper and doesn’t interact with the game client.
  • Will it ban me in CS2? No. It runs in your browser, not in the game.
  • Why did a player get flagged as a smurf? Likely due to recent rating spikes, unusual performance vs. level, or fresh account behaviors.
  • Can I suggest grenade videos? Yes — send feedback via the Chrome Web Store page.

Final Word

Refreak turns pre‑match chaos into clarity. Check smurfs, prep key grenades, and load into the server with a plan — every time.
