Moreover, the Premier Fourth Season also started, meaning Anubis is back for its fans. But what else did Valve prepare for players? What should we expect? Let\u2019s dive into more details below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_76 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">In article you will find:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-january-update\/#Premier\" >Premier<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-january-update\/#Competitive\" >Competitive<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-january-update\/#Gameplay\" >Gameplay<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-january-update\/#Sound\" >Sound<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-january-update\/#Weekly_Care_Package_and_Armory\" >Weekly Care Package and Armory<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-january-update\/#MISC\" >MISC<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-january-update\/#Map_Scripting\" >Map Scripting<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-january-update\/#Maps\" >Maps<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-january-update\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Premier\"><\/span><strong>Premier<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we already mentioned, Premier Season Four has begun. It means players can begin their path to obtain a Season Four Medal. As always, the color of the player&#8217;s medal depends on the highest CS Rating achieved. Also, the bars will show the player\u2019s total wins, with a maximum of five bars, each for every 25 wins.<\/p><div class=\"hellc-after-paragraph-2\" id=\"hellc-949617122\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/#free-giveaway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"wp-block-content-banner-image-upload-block hellcase-content-banner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lost-in-space_868x100.png\" alt=\" new  giveaway Big banner\"><div class=\"hellcase-content-banner__label\">Advertisement<\/div><div class=\"hellcase-content-banner__overlay\"><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the new Premier Season more fun, Valve added Anubis. Of course, it&#8217;s good news for every fan of the map with ancient walls and bright sun. Still, the Train followers will not see their favorite map in the Active Duty Map Pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Competitive\"><\/span><strong>Competitive<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also small changes for competitive matchmaking rank values. In short, players should obtain the required number of wins to make competitive Skill Groups be displayed again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gameplay\"><\/span><strong>Gameplay<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gameplay changes contain more details. Some of them belong to the MP7 and MP5-SD. Both SMGs got slightly increased damage. At the same time, players will cause less damage by using these weapon models at a distance. Still, their price is reduced by $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more weapon, the PP-Bizon, had its price reduced by $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, players can load Map Guides via the ESC menu in casual and retake online games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge part of the changes lies in jump changes. For example, landing time is now calculated with sub-tick precision. Also, jumping and landing no longer affect stamina. And the landing speed penalty is now a simple function of landing time. Moreover, Valve has also changed the jump behavior. Now, a successful bunnyhop will be treated if any jump press within <strong>sv_bhop_time_window<\/strong> is centered on the landing time and hasn&#8217;t been penalized by <strong>sv_jump_spam_penalty_time<\/strong>. Still, players can bring back legacy jump behavior on private servers with <strong>sv_legacy_jump<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sound\"><\/span><strong>Sound<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the new Counter-Strike 2 Update, Valve has brought many changes to the sound system, too. For example, audio output latency was reduced. Also, knife draw and inspect features have more realistic sounds. Moreover, switching between weapons, the knife, and the utility no longer overlaps sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want more changes? Valve made the knife attack sound more unique. It depends on the kind of attack a player uses, as well as whether it&#8217;s a front or rear attack. In addition, the damage amounts also differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, now, when players transition between zones, ambient sounds no longer restart from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weekly_Care_Package_and_Armory\"><\/span><strong>Weekly Care Package and Armory<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, here is the news for players who want more new skins in the game. First of all, Valve removed with the new Counter-Strike 2 Update four weapon collections from the Weekly Care Package drop list: Safehouse, Dust 2, 2018 Nuke Collection, and the 2018 Inferno Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, they added two all-new weapon collections, each with a skin for every weapon type, including M4A1-S, USP-S, PP-Bizon, AK-47, and others. Still, it\u2019s essential to notice the difference between these two collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/71124998b180a9b98013e70b93192e9c49529402-512x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22949\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/71124998b180a9b98013e70b93192e9c49529402-512x1024.png 512w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/71124998b180a9b98013e70b93192e9c49529402-150x300.png 150w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/71124998b180a9b98013e70b93192e9c49529402-768x1536.png 768w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/71124998b180a9b98013e70b93192e9c49529402.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2b8dbbc66c017da998351eed084cfcd2b3ec78b2-512x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22952\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2b8dbbc66c017da998351eed084cfcd2b3ec78b2-512x1024.png 512w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2b8dbbc66c017da998351eed084cfcd2b3ec78b2-150x300.png 150w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2b8dbbc66c017da998351eed084cfcd2b3ec78b2-768x1536.png 768w, https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2b8dbbc66c017da998351eed084cfcd2b3ec78b2.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of them is Harlequin. This collection contains bright colors: reds, purples, and yellows. The skin design features tactical camouflage and a festive look. The other collection is Achroma. In contrast to the first, this collection focuses on black-and-white aesthetics. We should note that these skins are available only through the Weekly Care Package. In other words, players cannot obtain them from case opening. Of course, such a rarity of skins, especially high-tier, could instantly increase their price on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, there is a new Limited Edition Item in the Armory Pass: the AK-47 | Aphrodite. The skin is available with a float range of 0.00-1.00 and shares a range of patterns. Still, it\u2019s better to note that players can obtain it from the Armory Pass only for 125 stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MISC\"><\/span><strong>MISC<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Valve increased material fidelity on the list of the base guns, which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AK-47<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AUG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AWP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dual Berettas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Desert Eagle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Galil AR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MAC-10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MP7<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>P250<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tec-9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>USP-S<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PP-Bizon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CZ75-Auto<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FAMAS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MP9<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, in the new CS2 Update, they changed voice status behavior to always show a mic for local players if the mic is open. A bug related to the Deathcam intersection was fixed, along with the cases when the player would collide with internal edges while sliding along a ramp in surf mode. The PVS resolution for some static-level geometry was also improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, they fixed small interpenetrations in Butterfly Knife animations and cases where blood decals weren\u2019t appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Map_Scripting\"><\/span><strong>Map Scripting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Valve has fixed a bug where the activator was sometimes incorrect for func_door outputs OnOpen, OnFullyOpen, OnClose, and OnFullyClosed. They also added BaseModelEntity.GetModelName, BaseModelEntity.GetModelScale, BaseModelEntity.GetColor, and BaseModelEntity.IsGlowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hellc-penultimate-h2\" id=\"hellc-2479764398\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/#free-giveaway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"wp-block-content-banner-image-upload-block hellcase-content-banner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lost-in-space_868x100.png\" alt=\" new giveaway Big banner\"><div class=\"hellcase-content-banner__label\">Advertisement<\/div><div class=\"hellcase-content-banner__overlay\"><\/div><\/a><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maps\"><\/span><strong>Maps<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, the new CS2 Update brought changes to community maps. That said, Golden, Palacio, Agency, and Rooftop were removed from all game modes. Instead, they added Warden, Stronghold, and Alpine to Competitive, Casual, and Deathmatch. Also, Wingman mode now has Sanctum and Poseidon community maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some updates on Anubis to make the players\u2019 experience smoother and more enjoyable. Here is a list of all changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bridge drop moved near Mid Doors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mid doors orientation reversed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hole added between E-box and Back of B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bombsite A crates moved up steps on to Walkway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scaffolding added to pillar on Bombsite A.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the new Counter-Strike 2 Update brought a lot of changes to various parts of the game. It includes new skin collections, sound upgrades, maps, and minor adjustments. But, more essentially, there is a new Premier Season, which means it&#8217;s time to show results on Anubis and other maps and get a new Season Medal.
