Valve has shipped out a new update to Counter-Strike 2 on January 27, and it brings with it a series of quality-of-life improvements to the game alongside other changes.
The latest CS2 patch isn’t nearly as big as the one we saw a few days ago, but it does include some much-needed fixes for the competitive shooter.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at everything you need to know about the new CS2 update.
CS2 January 27 Update: Patch Notes
The highlights of the January 27 CS2 update include a Molotov change that lets them bounce off an enemy player with a one-time fuse extension to prevent air-bursting, various knife-sound adjustments, stability improvements, and more.
The Molotov change is undoubtedly the most interesting update in this new patch. In layman’s terms, Molotovs and Incendiaries will now get a one-time fuse extension when they hit an enemy player. Previously, they could explode mid-air if their timer ran out before hitting the ground, but this change should fix that issue.
Below, we have included the detailed patch notes for the latest CS2 update, as revealed by Valve:
[ GAMEPLAY ]
