New CS2 Update Brings Bomb Explosion Improvements and Other Improvements

Less than 24 hours after the CS2 Premier Season 5 update went live, Valve has already started deploying hotfixes to the shooter in an attempt to fine-tune the new mechanics introduced as part of the previous update.

For the uninitiated, the Season 5 patch brought with it a bunch of exciting new changes to CS2, including a complete rework to the bomb explosion system, changes to the Armory, a fresh map pool, and more.

The July 10 CS2 update isn’t nearly as big as the one we saw yesterday, as it only includes some minor adjustments to the C4 explosions alongside a bunch of other fixes.

Without further ado, let’s check out the full list of changes Valve has added to CS2 with its latest update.

CS2 July 10 Update: Patch Notes Revealed

Below, we have listed the official patch notes for the CS2 July 10 update, as confirmed by Valve:

[ GAMEPLAY ]
