CSGO Patch Update: Grenade Issues Addressed and Warhammer Stickers

The CSGO patch update brought on a few gameplay changes and a ton of upgrades to the quality of rendering. While it was always a stretch, fans were hoping for Source 2, a new game engine, as well. Unsurprisingly, it remains a dream for now. The addition of the Warhammer 40,000 sticker capsule may be a hint that a new entry in that franchise is on the way as well.

Valve has always taken care of their flagship game Counter Strike Global Offensive over the years. Recent times, though, have seen it be ever so vigilant about the game. No doubt a certain game called Valorant has played a part in this. Up until now, CSGO has had little to no competition or threat to its stature, but a little competition is always healthy.

CSGO gameplay updates

Coming to the patch update, Valve has made a few minor changes to the gameplay. Check out the updates below.

– The kill feed now displays players that are killed by C4 explosions in all game modes.
– Players that are frozen by game logic no longer take damage.
– Players are less likely to become stuck on mid-air grenades and are now able to stand up when crouched on top of another player’s decoy grenade.
– Grenades are less likely to phase through doors when thrown into nearby players, and have improved collision when bouncing near the ground around player’s feet.

User Interface updates

Moving away from the gameplay updates, Valve has also brought in a host of changes to the rendering for textures. Moreover, players can also customize their main menu background scenery.

– Added a new Anubis main menu background movie to the game.
– Added a way for users to change their main menu background scenery.
– Split stickers and patches localization UI tokens to allow for better translations.
– Added proper HTML-escaping for custom inventory item names when applying and scraping stickers.

There is no whisper of the Source 2 game engine yet. Let’s hope that Valorant’s imminent release will compel Valve to work harder towards it.
