On May 24th Counter Strike 2 got a new update, which added a lot of new features, bug fixes, map redesigns, as well as multiple graphical changes to the game. The update came out big, and that's why we suggest you to understand it a bit more in our today's article.

Changing the effect of incendiary grenades

The main graphical change is that the appearance of grenade fire now looks different depending on the side you play for. Incendiary grenade of special forces at the explosion and the flame gives off a bluish flame, unlike the molotov of terrorists, which is more dominated by red color. Also, the area of effect of the incendiary grenade is slightly smaller than that of the molotov.

Game Economy

Incendiary grenade for Special Forces and Molotov cocktail for terrorists have equalized in price, and now instead of 600 and 400, both will cost 500$. This change looks very logical, because the effect of grenades is the same, both on one side and on the other.

The purchase price of the M4A4 has changed, which is now 3000$, which is exactly 100$ less than in the last patch. This is not a bad change that will help the M4A4 regain its popularity. The reward for a planted bomb that has been defused has also changed. Instead of $800 in the last patch, players for the terrorist side will now receive $600 each.

Map Changes

There have been changes to two of the most important maps in the competitive mode. The size of the cover on Mirage in the middle of the terrorists' side has changed and become much smaller, which will make it more difficult to take a position and will allow Special Forces players to destroy the enemies more easily.

Also, changes have been made to the Vertigo map, where the developers have returned an additional passageway on the A-plot. This change will make it easier for Special Forces to defend their points, and will also complicate the game for terrorists.

Skin rentals

Another very interesting innovation was the addition of the ability to rent skins from the recently released "Kilowatt" case. When you open it with a key, you will get all the skins from there and you will be able to use them for a week. Weapons cannot be modified with stickers. This solution will definitely increase the popularity of the recently released collection and attract more new purchases.
