Counter Strike 2 Achievement Guide: How To Get the Hidden Achievement in CS2?

It has been a few weeks since the full release of Counter-Strike 2, and millions of players from throughout the globe have tuned into the title to enjoy their favorite competitive shooter with upgraded visuals and improved gameplay.

If you’ve been browsing through your friends’ profiles on Steam, chances are that you’ve caught many of them obtaining the ‘Hidden Achievement’ in CS2. Now what is this hidden CS2 achievement, and how do you get it? If you’re here looking for the answers to these questions, we have you covered.

In this article, we’re gonna take a look at how you can get the only achievement that’s available in CS2 to date.

Counter Strike 2 Achievements

Counter Strike 2 differs from its predecessor CSGO by featuring just one achievement, a significant departure from the previous game’s 167 achievements. This sole achievement has been named ‘A New Beginning’ and its description reads, ‘This is Counter Strike, too’.

While no official word has been given by Valve on how to obtain this achievement. The community was pretty swift to find the method of obtaining it.

Many players in the community have reported that to unlock the hidden ‘A New Beginning’ achievement in CS2, players simply need to complete one full game within the Counter Strike 2 universe. Contrary to popular belief, this doesn’t necessarily have to be a competitive or unranked match. It can be achieved in any game mode offered by the game.

That’s everything you need to know about how to get the hidden achievement in CS2.

As time progresses, Valve is likely to introduce more achievements to its competitive shooter. If more achievements make their way into CS2, we’ll be sure to keep our readers updated with detailed guides on how to obtain them.

EA Drops Support For Windows 7, 8 On Star Wars, Battlefield Games

EA Drops Support For Windows 7, 8 On Star Wars, Battlefield Games

Electronic Arts (EA) has officially announced the discontinuation of support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 operating systems in three of its popular game titles: Battlefield V, Battlefield 1, and Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017). This change is set to take effect on November 30, marking a significant shift for players who are still using older Windows hardware.

EA’s decision to end support for these older operating systems is rooted in its commitment to providing a secure and optimal gaming experience. Microsoft had previously ceased providing security updates and support for Windows 7 in 2020, and for Windows 8 and 8.1 in 2021. Without these critical updates, the integrity and functionality of the games can no longer be guaranteed on these platforms.

While the affected games have been out for several years and are nearing the end of their lifecycles, they still maintain active player communities. This move by EA underscores a broader technological transition in the gaming industry, as support for older operating systems continues to dwindle. Players using the affected operating systems will need to upgrade to a newer version of Windows to continue enjoying these titles.

EA is not alone in phasing out support for older Windows versions. Earlier this year, Epic Games ended support for Windows 7 and 8 in Fortnite, citing similar security concerns. Valve has also announced that Steam will stop supporting Windows 7 and 8 starting January 1, 2024. These changes reflect a broader industry trend toward ensuring security and performance by encouraging users to adopt newer operating systems.

xQc claims MrBeast’s videos are “scripted”

xQc is the latest content creator to point fingers at the biggest independent content creator on YouTube, i.e. MrBeast for putting up scripted videos in light of recent controversy.

MrBeast is known for hosting crazy challenges in his videos and said challenges were the face of his online content that helped him garner a legion of fans however, claims have surfaced that the videos are scripted. xQc’s statement follows claims made by fellow content creator Rosanna Pansino who believes the Creator Gamers 3 video was edited to alter the outcome of the event.

xQc has doubled down on the claims made by Pansino and advised his audience to “get out” if they ever find themselves on the final stage of any MrBeast challenge as they are usually scripted and misrepresented.

“Chat… Guys, if you get selected to be in MrBeast’s video, I got you,” xQc began, before sharing with viewers his “number one tip.” “If you can get out, get out. Okay?” he said. “MrBeast’s endgames are so scripted and dumb. The dumbest s**t happens, just f****** go home, dude.” xQc added, “If you weren’t in on the script, okay, you’re done. Go home, dude.”

According to recent reports, Pansino has retracted her statement following death threats. She took to X to publicly apologize to MrBeast and acknowledge that she should have done it in a private manner. However, this happened before xQc came in with his own take on MrBeast and unlike Pansino, he is a big shot who can take on MrBeast.

MrBeast hasn’t addressed the issue publicly but now that xQc is involved we are in for a lot of drama and things will take a more interesting turn for sure in the future.

How to Find Jack O’ Lanterns in GTA Online?

From now until November 2nd, players can embark on a thrilling Jack O’ Lantern hunt, with a whopping 200 pumpkins scattered across the map in GTA Online. However, the challenge is not just about finding these festive decorations; it’s about reaping the rewards and facing the risks that come with each pumpkin.

How to Find Jack O’ Lanterns in GTA Online?

Every day, players have the opportunity to find and collect ten Jack O’ Lanterns, each offering a chance at a treat or a potentially explosive trick. While there are 200 pumpkins available, you only need to find ten each day to secure your cash reward. The pumpkins reset daily in real-time, allowing players to return to the same spots each day for a quick and efficient hunt.

To aid in your quest, check out the above image where the ten pumpkin locations in the El Burro Heights area are pinpointed. This location is ideal as it tends to be less crowded, minimizing the risk of drawing unwanted attention, especially if a pumpkin decides to play a trick on you. Simply approach each pumpkin and follow the on-screen prompt to collect it. Remember, after receiving cash from a pumpkin, it’s wise to deposit it into your bank account immediately to avoid losing it if the next pumpkin is not as friendly.

Rewards of Pumpkin Hunting

So, what’s in it for you? Each set of ten Jack O’ Lanterns collected rewards players with a hefty $50,000 cash, along with snacks, health, and armor. Additionally, completing a daily set grants you the Horror Pumpkin Mask, complete with special audio effects. For the ambitious hunters aiming to find all 200 pumpkins, there’s an extra special treat awaiting, though the details of this reward remain a mystery for now.
