Fans Delighted As CS:GO Finally Nerfs Op Krieg

Valve rolled out the latest update for CS:GO on April 10th 2020. Finally, we have the long-awaited changes that were required. One of the primary modifications implemented on weapons belonged to Kreig SG553 – without a doubt, this weapon was the epicentre of debate for the gaming community. 

Nerf On Kreig And Buff On M4A1 and Deagle

Kreig SG553 considered as one of those weapons that functions better than the shooter’s instincts. A crazy amount of backlash from the gaming community forced Valve to tweak and modify this weapon. Comparing it with other rifles like AUG or Bullpup, Kreig dealt more damage with more exceptional accuracy. Thus, the modification subdued the firing rate as well as the accuracy mark to bring it on the same level as other assault rifles.

For weapons like M4A1, flagship assault rifle of CS, getting an update is a significant relief. Valve has reduced the in-game transaction price down to 2900$. Hence, this will be one of the first options for players to choose from. AUG also received a significant aim update concerning open scope. However, it might seem like a forced bargain.  

As for the Deagle, the tweak seems to have been exaggerated way too much. Dropping headshots without fail, this gun is on its way to raising some eyebrows in the gaming community. The accuracy improved with jumping while the time to recover the accuracy after landing got effectively reduced.

What Are The Other Major Tweaks?

The fan-built map named Anubis got a significant tweak. Mirage, Chlorine, Overpass, Office, and Inferno, have also received updates concerning design and other cosmetic modifications. The complete list of changes is as follow.
