Counter-Strike 2 Update

March 18, 2026 10:47 PM

Gameplay Mechanics

Reloading a weapon now discards any remaining ammo in the current magazine, replacing it with a full one from your reserves. The way reserve ammunition is shown has changed, now displaying the number of magazines, shells, or bullets depending on the weapon. The amount of ammo currently in your weapon is also visible below the total ammo count. The number of reserve magazines has been adjusted for each weapon.



Map Guides

Limited map guides are now available in Competitive and Retakes modes, active for the first five rounds of each half and capped at 30 points. A new server setting, sv_allow_annotations_access_level, controls who can view or edit these guides, with options for disabled, limited view, or full access. Another setting, sv_annotation_limits_max_rounds_per_half, sets how many rounds these guides are active (defaulting to 5). Basic starter guides have been added for all maps in the Active Duty group.



Workshop Maps

Players can now join friends who are playing a Practice or Workshop map directly through the friends menu, provided their party is set to Open.
