CS2 Premier Season 2 arrives: Full patch notes for Jan. 28 update

BBG News

Season 2 of Premier is here at last.

The long-running opening season of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) CS2 Premier has finally ended, as Valve releases the Season 2 patch notes for the game’s primary competitive mode. Numerous modifications have been implemented in this mode, such as a major map update and tweaks to several weapons.

Check out the details about CS2 Premier Season 2 and the complete patch notes, which are already active in the game!

CS2 Season 2 Premier launches: Vertigo out, M4A4 price drop, FAMAS buff, and more

Players of CS2 have eagerly anticipated the debut of Season 2 of the Premiere, following the shutdown of the primary game mode yesterday. For those striving for their Premiere ranking, it has been readjusted: you’ll need to win ten games in order to receive your updated rating.

To obtain the new Season 2 medal, you’ll have to participate in a total of 25 matches before the end of the season, which concludes following the BLAST Austin Major in June.

The revamped Train map is now officially part of the competitive map rotation in Premier, ending its temporary absence. Previously, it made its debut at last week’s BLAST Bounty event, but players outside of the pro scene had to wait for today’s seasonal changeover to gain access to it.

In terms of cost, the M4A4 variant is now equal to the M4A1-S, and the M4A1-S has been slightly lowered in price. The FAMAS also experienced a decrease in its cost and was given some notable improvements because it struggled against the economical T rifle, the Galil. Several other weapons have received adjustments, with the MP9, MP7, and MP5 seeing a reduction in their accuracy when crouching.

Valve has delivered several enhancements for user convenience, including a dynamic zoom feature for the mini-map on the radar. Additionally, they’ve fixed some pesky bugs that were causing issues.

Here’s a full look at what’s new with today’s CS2 patch.
