CS2 Update: Silent Reload Exploit Patched and Team Damage Tweaks

Major Gameplay Fixes

Valve finally addressed the silent reload exploit that was breaking shotgun balance and movement fluidity. Expect a more consistent rhythm during firefights without the unintended animation skips.

Detailed Tweaks & Features

  • Team Damage: Kicking thresholds for team damage have been overhauled to better manage griefing.
  • Map Integrity: Clipping fixes across active maps help remove annoying geometry exploits.
  • Loading Screens: New, clearer rule descriptions help newer players understand lobby expectations.

Minor fixes include an animation pop for the AK-47 inspect. Finally, no more shotgun silent reload abuse.
