A new update has been shipped to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive today, and it brings with it some significant changes to the competitive shooter.
For starters, Ancient has received a plethora of new changes, including many bug fixes and several other tweaks across the map. Considering the fact that Ancient was added to the Active Duty map pool quite suddenly without any prior info, changes to the map could be expected by the player base.
While the changes to Ancient might be the prime attraction of this update, some other changes also shouldn’t go unnoticed. The maps Grind and Frostbite also received their fair share of tweaks. Finally, an issue that has been annoying CSGO players and content creators for quite a while now has been fixed.
Previously, many players would receive the Trusted mode warning repeatedly when trying to queue in Untrusted mode. This patch has removed the multiple warnings and players will receive only a single warning message moving forward.
Here’s what’s new in this CSGO update, as stated in the official blog post by Valve:
