Introducing Operation Riptide and Operation Riptide Pass added.

Several weapons have also been nerfed and buffed in this update, so you’ll want to read the patch notes below carefully. The second major change is that Valve is trialling short MR16 in competitive matches. Like before, there’s a free and paid battle pass to get stuck into, so there’s something for everyone.Īway from Operation Riptide, which you can read more about here, several major changes were made to CS:GO – the first being that you can now drop grenades like weapons – perfect if your teammate knows a pop flash or a smoke you don’t. A new operation, called Operation Riptide, has been added to the game, along with new maps, missions, and modes. We’ve had a couple of bug fix patches recently, but this latest CS:GO update has more than made up for the lack of content.
