Over the past few days, a grenade jump-throw bug has been taking the Counter-Strike 2 social media by storm, with players repeatedly sharing clips of this game-breaking bug being used to score some surprising clips. Today’s CS2 update fixes this bug, alongside bringing a bunch of other crucial changes to the game.
For the uninitiated, the grenade bug in question enabled players to jump-throw utility through walls by timing their throws. The bug was most commonly abused around Nuke’s Vents, where players could damage or flush out defenders on the B site without exposing themselves to danger, giving players an unfair advantage
Following the August 3rd CS2 update, this infamous grenade bug has finally been fixed.
Other than fixing the grenade bug, the latest CS2 update also removes the Cache self-boost that recently surfaced on social media. This trick enabled players to reach the boost area outside A-main without the help of a teammate.
Lastly, there are certain improvements to map scripting, with a series of new commands being added alongside a few bug fixes.
