The latest CSGO Update has brought major changes to Danger Zone as well as some economy changes which will impact competitive play.
With respect to the economy, the round loss bonus has been capped at 5 rounds. This means that if a team wins a round after losing more than 5 successive rounds and immediately lose the one after that, they will receive $2900 instead of $3400.
Other changes have brought some neat features in the UI, with a “Looking to Play” feature that allows the player to make themselves available to play. The watch tab also contains upcoming events which is provided by HLTV with a notification feature.
Lastly, Danger Zone has received a significant update with some new starting options like Armour and Helmet, as well as a purchasable Drone Pilot upgrade.
