Counter-Strike 2 has a new update that sets up the game for the upcoming Copenhagen Major and tweaks line-of-sight mechanics for incendiary grenades.

Copenhagen Major Features

The Copenhagen Major Hub is now live in Counter-Strike 2. Players can purchase tournament items and participate in the Pick'Em Challenge. Anyone with Prime status can place Pick'Em picks for free. Purchasing a Copenhagen 2024 Viewer Pass grants an upgradable coin, extra souvenir packages earned through the challenge, and access to the Active Pass Leaderboard to compare scores with friends. Viewer Passes must be activated before an event stage begins to complete challenges and earn rewards.

Gameplay Adjustments

Valve adjusted molotov fire behavior to fix an exploit where a player who could see through fire remained invisible to their opponent.
