CS2 UPDATE
If you had to give up 60 FPS, but in return get peekers advantage fixed, would you take the offer? Well, you already have.
CS2’s newest “A Call to Arms” update brings a whole host of changes with the highlights being: a new Arms Race (duh), changes to the way smokes work, and like we mentioned earlier, a fix for the peekers advantage problem.
The best part? This fix actually seems to work and it’s not just Valve claiming to have solved the problem. Just see what our own crew had to say:
But what else is new? Besides being able to hold angles again.
Well, we’ve got everyone’s favourite thing, a new case called Kilowatt. And this case is extra special: it includes a new knife AND a zeus skin, which our overlords instantly realised would be entirely useless, so they made the zeus rechargeable. Don't worry though, it takes so long that it won’t make a difference.
That’s not the only skin-related change either. Stickers can now be placed anywhere on a gun. Yes anywhere, and you can imagine that’s had predictable results.
As for the new smokes, the two most important things are how they now hide player shadows plus a fix to the bug that allowed you to see enemies on the radar through smokes.
Some silent drops have also been patched, noteably, the ones where you had to slide down walls.
Last, and certainly least, Valve added an “XP Overlord” icon that changes depending on how many times you’ve hit the XP bonus limit. This has been met with a resounding “why” and “this clutters up the kill feed” so it’s already been removed from said kill feed and is now only visible in the scoreboard.
That’s about it, but if you’re a massive nerd and want to see the details, just click here. Don’t worry, we’re nerds too.
