Counter Strike 2 Patch Notes for 29 May 2024

The Counter-Strike 2 patch released on May 29th, 2024 includes a few minor adjustments to enhance the game’s performance and stability.

CS2 has been on the receiving end of criticism since its release now we are looking at minor improvements that are compounding into massive differences. With tons of problems already plaguing the game this will count as a small step towards improvement.

Input

  • Fixed a bug where the console toggle key would stop working after a Premier pick/ban phase

WEAPONS CHANGES

  • Fixed a bug where certain graphics configurations resulted in black weapon finishes

  • Steam accounts that have an active account lock are no longer allowed to play on secure Counter-Strike game servers
  • Fixed a bug where view models would bob excessively on Linux

What Is Average Skill Rating in XDefiant?

0

With any first-person shooter game, some players will start looking for their stats like Kill/Death ratio or Win/Loss ratio. Tracking your stats is the best way to improve at any first-person shooter game. Similarly, you can also track your stats in XDefiant. However, there is one statistic in XDefiant that has left players confused as to what it is. We are talking about Average Skill Rating. So let’s take a look and understand the Average Skill Rating in XDefiant.

What is the Average Skill Rating in XDefiant?

XDefiant

The average Skill Rating is calculated by averaging out your performance from the last 10 matches. So if your Kill/death ratio and Win/loss ratio have been in good standing from the last 10 matches then you should result in a decent Average Skill Rating. You can also consider Average Skill Rating as a number reflecting how dominating you have been in the past 10 matches.

How to check Average Skill Rating in XDefiant?

It is very easy to check your Average Skill Rating in XDefiant. Just follow the simple steps below to check out your Average Skill Rating.

  • Start XDefiant.
  • Go to the ‘Profile’ tab.
  • Select Career Stats.
  • You should find Avg. Skill Rating in the Performance Stats box to the right.

How does Average Skill Rating affect matchmaking?

XDefiant does not have skill-based matchmaking in basic queues. However, your Average Skill Rating will be taken into consideration for matchmaking in the Welcome Playlist while ranked mode still matches you with players from around your rank. For now, you should not be focusing much on Average Skill Rating, just ensure that your performance is consistent in every match.

How to Find Unwarranted Feather in Wuthering Waves?

Wuthering Waves has managed to captivate a sizable player base ever since its release. By now every player knows that you need to gather certain items to be able to upgrade and ascend your Resonators. The new Resonator soon to be released is Yinlin and it has been revealed that ‘Unwarranted Feather’ would be a required item to upgrade her. Let’s get to know how you can find Unwarranted Feather in Wuthering Waves.

Can you even find Unwarranted Feather?

Since you are reading this article, it means that you have already tried to find Unwarranted Feather in Wuthering Waves. Unfortunately, as of now, there is no such item introduced in Wuthering Waves. Unwarranted Feather will be required to upgrade Yinlin, the new Resonator that will be released on June 6th, 2024. Since the Resonator is not in the game yet, Unwarranted Feather will likely be added to the game along with Yinlin. It is also possible that we might have to wait till Wuthering Waves Version 1.1 is released.

Possible Mistranslation

While it is unlikely, this possibility can not be ruled out. Mistranslation could be the culprit here as we already have ‘Dreamless Feather’ in the game. This item is dropped after defeating the ‘Statue of the Crownless: Heart’ boss. This boss becomes a weekly challenge after you have defeated it in Chapter 1 Act 6, Warstorm Quest. Dreamless Feather is currently an Ascension item for Danjin.

Patience is Virtue

While there is no way to pinpoint the exact reason behind the mystery of Unwarranted Feather, all we can do for now is wait for Yinlin to be released. Kuro Games might add bosses that drop Unwarranted Feather later on in version 1.1 of Wuthering Waves.

Indian Valorant Pro Antidote Steps Back From Esports

0

Indian esports veteran Sabyasachi “Antidote” Bose has made a surprising announcement of stepping down from competitive Valorant esports. Notably, in the announcement post on his social media handles, he did not reveal the reason behind taking such an extreme step . However, he promised to reveal the reasons behind his decision soon through a live session. 

Valorant Player Antidote Steps Back From Esport Due to Undisclosed Reasons

In the announcement post, Antidote wrote a heartfelt message. “Hello everyone! So the news is out and yes I’m taking a step back right now because of so so many reasons. I know some of you are happy but most of my people are sad and kinda shocked with this announcement. I promise to come online soon and truly tell you the reasons and rip some haters. Thanks to my team and fans.” he wrote.

One of the true OGs of the Indian esports scene, Antidote began his journey with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) back in 2016. Later, with a new opportunity on the horizon, he decided to switch to freshly-released Valorant after its launch in 2020. Carrying forward his CS:GO legacy, he started strong with Velocity Gaming, and quickly established himself as one of the best players in the eports scene. However, the years 2021 and 2022 proved challenging, where he changed his teams multiple times. Although he made a comeback in 2023, his short stint with MLT Esports in 2024 did not yield any significant results.

While the competitive year may have been lackluster, Antidote’s sudden departure still comes as a surprise. Fans will eagerly await his promised live session, hoping to shed light on the “so so many reasons” behind his sudden decision. Will he also address the “haters” he mentioned? And more importantly, will this be a permanent farewell, or a temporary hiatus before a comeback? Only time will tell what the future holds for this veteran player.

Wuthering Waves: How to Get the “Do You Believe in Light?” Achievement

Are you on a quest to unlock all the achievements in Wuthering Waves? If you’re puzzled by the “Do You Believe in Light?” trophy, fret not! This guide will illuminate the path to capturing this elusive achievement and adding it to your collection.

“Do You Believe in Light?” Achievement Guide for Wuthering Waves

Hidden within the Voices section of the Trophies menu, the “Do You Believe in Light?” achievement teases players with its cryptic description: “What on earth is that twinkling thing…”. To unravel this mystery, you’ll need to embark on a hunt for a special entity known as a Shiny Echo or Phantom Class Echo.

How to Capture a Shiny Echo in Wuthering Waves

Catching a Shiny Echo is the key to unlocking this achievement. Once you’ve successfully captured one, a “New Trophy” notification will confirm your triumph. However, these Phantom Class Echoes are known for their random appearances, with no guaranteed spawn locations.

Where to Find Phantom Class Echoes

While the spawn rate of Phantom Class Echoes is unpredictable, certain areas have reported more consistent sightings. Players should focus their search on regions dense with Echoes, as these are the most likely places to encounter a Shiny Echo.

South of Withering Frontline

Many adventurers have found success south of Withering Frontline. Look for the star icon on your map as a beacon for potential Phantom Class Echo spawns. If your initial search is fruitless, consider joining another player’s game world and revisiting the location until you strike gold.

Tolling Stream

Tolling Stream is another promising location for Shiny Echo hunters. This area has a reputation for consistent spawns, especially of the Hoartoise variant.

Tips for the Hunt

Remember, the hunt for a Shiny Echo is a game of patience and persistence. The daily reset may present new opportunities, so it’s wise to check the hotspots after this time. Additionally, the Phantom Rocksteady Guardian, located just south of the Tempest Mephis Boss fight location, is a recommended target for those seeking the “Do You Believe in Light?” achievement.

Unlocking the “Do You Believe in Light?” trophy in Wuthering Waves is an exciting challenge that rewards explorers with a keen eye and a bit of luck. By focusing your search on the South of Withering Frontline and Tolling Stream, and being willing to hop into other players’ worlds, you’ll increase your chances of capturing the coveted Shiny Echo. Happy hunting, and may the light of achievement shine upon you!
