“Developers have added new trackers for in-game events:

The player who was injured / the player who attacked / how far the bullet traveled before hitting a player / how many surfaces were penetrated / was the shooter no-scoping? / was the shooter jumping?”

“Could it be anti-cheat?”

Later, Polyatov added that a recent patch might have fixed a vulnerability that cheat developers were exploiting.

“The latest update ‘fixed’ rapid fire in several popular cheats, not sure if it’s permanent, but cheat providers are already trying to bypass it.”

“Rapid fire is a function that allows all bullets in a magazine to be fired with a single shot.”

In the early hours of July 23, a patch was released for CS2 in which Valve made changes to the Dust2 map, adding a new box in the corner between the CT base and Bombsite A, which allows players to climb onto the “short” (zigzag) alone. In addition, the developers awarded trophies to the winners of the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024.
