Counter-Strike 2 October 17th Patch released and detailed

5 Comments

Valve just dropped a fresh update for Counter-Strike 2 on October 17th. In this update, it has added a new sound for the last 10 seconds of the bomb beeping. It has also made it possible for command aliases to be more precise by using subtick accuracy.

In the October 17th Patch, Valve has also added the voice for the missing KSK agent. The team also made the knife sounds louder, so you can hear them better even if they’re not right next to you. And there are other changes too, like making sure things sound right when you can’t see your enemies, and making footsteps easier to hear.

This update also comes with some important gameplay improvements. Valve has fixed a problem where players could see through ceilings. The team has also fixed another issue where a defused bomb could get in the way when players wanted to pick up a nearby gun.

Like always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its full list of tweaks, fixes and changes.
