Valve has sent live an update for Counter-Strike 2 today following the conclusion of the Esports World Cup tournament, and while the patch is small, one massive change will alter the way players defend on the game’s most popular map.
The July 22 CS2 patch contains a few changes for both old and new maps as well as a couple of small general gameplay updates, but by far the focus of the update is the height adjustment for the boxes on Dust 2 leading to the A site. CT defenders commonly use these boxes to boost an ally onto the short catwalk for a fast mid-peek. Now, you won’t even need a boost—a single player can make the jump themselves.
