FPS Counter-Strike 2 on Steam: Counter-Strike 2 Update (September 30)

Counter-Strike 2 Adds Grenade Crosshairs in Freeze Time for Insta-Smokes

Valve's September 30 Counter-Strike 2 update lets players hold a grenade attack button during freeze time to see the grenade crosshair, so instant smoke lineups can be set before the round starts. It also adds a crosshair outline color, a new Static Quadrant style, negative gaps for classic dynamic crosshairs, and fixes how weapon inaccuracy and spread are shown. A follow-up on October 2 fixed grenade crosshairs at thickness 3 and improved Warehouse lighting.

  1. Grenade crosshairs in freeze time: quality of life or removing skill from lineups?
  2. Will every pug now run perfect insta-smokes?
  3. Which crosshair style are you switching to: Static Quadrant or classic?
  4. Should Valve fix bigger CS2 problems before crosshair options?
