Gone are the days of players triple-stacking on top of each other on Overpass for an early pick across the map, as the latest CS2 update has effectively removed 3+ player boost stacks from the game.
While you’ll still be able to stack on top of four teammates if you choose to do so, players standing (or crouching) on three or more people will no longer be accurate when firing.
Alongside this change to boosting, the May 19 CS2 update also brings with it several improvements to map scripting, alongside some fixes to Cache and the Spectator mode.
Unfortunately, though, the much-anticipated Armory changes are still nowhere to be seen, giving players a few more days to pick up the departing skin and sticker collections before they’re gone for good.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at everything new that today’s CS2 update has brought to the shooter.
