Want a new anti-cheat? Here, have some charms.

Smoother movement? Enjoy some stickers.

Performance boosts? What are you on about, take some skins.

Updated map pool? Here are some more skins.

Gaben Claus came bearing gifts, but not quite the ones most of us had on our wishlist.

The new Armory update introduces a battle pass, gun charms, stickers, three new weapon collections, and a new case, adding up to 100+ new items. Skin bros are eating good.

By purchasing the pass, you’ll earn credits through XP, which can be exchanged for a wide range of dangling ornaments and shiny skins. Time to say goodbye to FACEIT for a while.

Don’t get us wrong; we’re glad to see new content. But if you’re going to drop an update like this, why not throw in a few missions and make it a full-blown operation?

Maybe we’re expecting too much. The two devs left working on CS probably pulled some serious overtime just to get this one out.

But don’t worry, it’s not all about flashy new finishes to drain your wallet.

There are some actual gameplay improvements too – like smoother movement, networking tweaks, and finally a fix for that annoying water sound bug.

One (small) step closer to the Counter-Strike experience we all knew and loved.
