Nitr0 Is Coming Back to Counter-Strike

Nick “⁠nitr0⁠” Cannella is once again eyeing a comeback in CS after his stint with M80’s Valorant roster.

nitr0 career as of late has swayed between Valorant and CS but after his run with Team Liquid back in 2019, Captain America failed to establish any sort of consistency in whatever team he played for, leading him to sway between teams and esports.

This news follows cadiaN’s departure from Team Liquid who shares a lot of roles with nitr0 by being an AWPer and IGL. As North America faces a serious crisis in the IGL department, nitr0 announces his comeback and something tells us, that Team Liquid will be his destination.

“VALORANT was not what I expected it to be, and I didn’t see a future for myself. CS is home, and with the lack of IGLs in NA, this is where I belong. I still have a lot to offer to NA CS and can’t wait to give CS2 everything I have,” said nitr0.

nitr0’s statement did not specify a destination for him but Liquid is likely where he is headed. Team Liquid has been the face of North American CS for a long time despite a Major eluding them but their downfall. Liquid has diversified into getting players from different regions to form an international roster and they are likely looking at nitr0 to lead the project after cadiaN failed to do so.

How to Inspect CS2 Skins & Sticker Crafts?

There exists a thriving community around the skin market in CS2 which you might or might not know about, although there is something cool about owning a skin and decorating it with multiple stickers. This eternal joy is induced through an in-game purchase, meaning if the big decision could be simplified by letting you inspect the Skins and stickers before you make the jump, would you decline? Definitely not.

How to inspect CS2 skins?

Firstly, congratulations on having the money to buy the skins. In case we didn’t address you in the earlier line, click here. Regardless, let’s see how to inspect CS2 skins without stickers through the Steam marketplace

Begin by searching the skin, by simply typing out its name and pressing on the correct listing with the correct SKU (Wear rating) 

Once you’ve landed on the correct item, click on “Inspect in game” to either launch a menu in-game (if you have CS2 already open) or watch as the game boots up & takes you to a menu where you will see the skin applied on a weapon. Either way, you will be able to spectate the skin seamlessly. 

Once you’ve admired the skin’s beauty, you can decide whether you still want to make the purchase or not!

Get your favorite CS2 Sticker

Well, this is a sticky wicket. To inspect CS2 stickers, there is no in-game feature but that doesn’t mean you have to spend millions to do it. All you need is a free sticker craft site that will let you use a custom CS2 inspect server. Here is a suggestion that is used community-wide called, CS2inspects.com 

Once on the website, go through the menu to land on a similar page:


Select any skin from here and try to play around with the “Customize Sticker” button which was a recently announced feature within CS2 where custom placement of stickers can be done.

Once you place the sticker wherever you want to, copy the gen code for the CS2 sticker craft – a large number that begins with “!g” at the bottom of the screen.

How to spectate the CS2 Sticker?

Okay, now that you have your gen code, it’s time to join an inspect server. One of the server groups that have worked best for us are the Epidemic’s inspect servers, with multiple map options. 

So here you go, copy one of these IPs into your CS2 console to hop on to a server:

  • connect inferno.epidemic.gg
  • connect nuke.epidemic.gg
  • connect dust2.epidemic.gg
  • connect vertigo.epidemic.gg
  • connect mirage.epidemic.gg
  • connect siege.epidemic.gg
  • connect biome.epidemic.gg
  • connect thera.epidemic.gg
  • connect overpass.epidemic.gg
  • connect ancient.epidemic.gg
  • connect italy.epidemic.gg
  • connect office.epidemic.gg
  • connect anubis.epidemic.gg
  • connect memento.epidemic.gg
  • connect lostcoast.epidemic.gg
  • connect infernonight.epidemic.gg
  • connect nukenight.epidemic.gg
  • connect sakura.epidemic.gg
  • connect trade.epidemic.gg

Choosing the appropriate map is a choice, and doesn’t matter as long as you have some nice-looking background to take screenshots and flex on social media, you phony. Jokes aside, once you’ve connected, paste the gen code you generated earlier in the in-game chat with the apropos syntax, which looks something like this:

Once you key in the code, send it and watch your favorite CS2 sticker craft in your hands, ready for a spin. Drop it, shoot around, and iterate on your ideas of the sticker placement, all before committing to the purchase!

One tiny issue

Once you start trying this method out, you will start noticing that applying different stickers on the same skin, during the same sessions more often than not doesn’t update the stickers in the game. Do not worry, this is a common occurrence. To resolve this, just pull up your CS2 console, and type in “regenerate_weapon_skins” and the problem should immediately resolve itself.

How to change Valorant console crosshair?

Also, as an additional great to-have feature – “Copy crosshair” is also available making like easier for players by just adding and importing crosshairs using a unique code. Such presets are widely available and the game allows you to customize them for different states such as general use, Aim down, or when sniping.

Is Palworld Coming to PS5?

0

When Palworld arrived on PCs and Xbox in January 2023 it acquired millions of users. PS5 owners expected the game for their platform but to their misfortune, nothing materialized but a new teaser might spark excitement among PS5 owners once again.

A tweet from Bucky caused an immediate stir in the community, with players speculating that it was a hint at a possible PlayStation 5 release. There’s not enough information to work with, and the developer might be playing around with us. However, it’s something to watch, particularly considering the PS5’s prior consideration.

A new update for the game is on the cards and even though the developers have not confirmed anything yet, if a PS5 release is in the works, an announcement can be expected by the end of this moment. The devs previously showed their interest in releasing a PS5 version of the game but this is all we know at the time of writing.

The game already has a massive player base with Xbox and PC. PS5 arguably boats the biggest player base in the console space which means that the developers have been missing out on a significant number of players by not delivering a PS5 version of the game.

Whether or not the teaser will translate into an official statement, only time can tell but until then keep your heads high as the chances of Palworld releasing PS5 are as high as ever.

Unexpected Valorant Ultimate Interaction Baffles Players & Developers Alike

0

As new Agents are continually introduced to Valorant every few months, it’s not an easy task to anticipate how each Agent’s abilities will interact with those of other Agents.

Turns out, even the game’s developers can sometimes have a difficult time predicting ability interactions between Valorant Agents, as a recent clip that has surfaced on social media forums seems to have stumped the shooter’s players and devs alike.

The interaction in question involves the ultimate abilities of KAY/O and ISO. When these two Agents are on opposing teams and activate their ultimates simultaneously, a bizarre interaction ensues.

A Reddit clip that has been posted on the platform by user ‘pigster007’ showcases the interaction.

As prominent in the video, if Iso uses his ultimate on a KAY/O who also has his ult activated, Iso can die even after winning the 1v1 duel against his opponent.

This happens because KAY/O enters a ‘Downed’ state once he is killed while having his ult activated. If the Iso is unable to finish off KAY/O’s entire 1,000 HP pool in the Downed state, then both of them will end up dying since the game identifies that no one has won the fight inside the Kill Contract.

This is undoubtedly one of the most bizarre Agent ability interactions in Valorant, to the point where it has even baffled the developers. Riot CombatCube, a software engineer at Riot Games, commented on the post, saying, “Not sure if this is intended, but I reported it to the team.”

Comment
byu/pigster007 from discussion
inVALORANT

Players were quick to point out that this interaction between Iso and KAY/O isn’t a bug, but an intended game mechanic. Some players have even urged Riot to not change the mechanic since it should still be possible to kill a downed KAY/O within the time limit of the Iso ult.
