Have you ever felt like a game update is just around the corner, waiting to surprise us? Well, Counter-Strike 2 fans, it looks like that moment has arrived! Valve has officially announced the start of Premier Season 2, saying goodbye to what felt like an endless first season. With some fresh changes on the way, it’s time to get excited about how these tweaks might affect your gameplay.
Welcome to CS2 Season 2
The end of Season 1 brings a little something special for those who’ve been grinding hard. Active players who earned a rating will receive a commemorative Premier Season One Medal. This medal won’t just sit there looking pretty; it’ll show off various stats from your journey over the season—think map distribution, rating history, overall K/D ratio, total multi-kills, and win/loss records. It’s a nice memento for all those late-night matches!
Now, let’s talk about some significant adjustments coming with this new chapter. There’ll be a substitution in the map pool: goodbye Train, and hello Vertigo! As for weapons? The M4A4, which has been overshadowed lately by its silenced cousin (the M4A1-S), will drop its price to $2900. And if you’ve got love for the FAMAS, you’re in luck; its standing and crouching accuracy are getting buffs alongside a price cut. These changes should make both rifles more appealing during those half-buy rounds.
Ahead of kicking off Season 2, players will need to win ten matches in Premier mode to refresh their rating, a great way to stay sharp! Plus, there’s another shiny medal up for grabs: the Premier Season Two Medal. It’ll feature custom colors representing your peak rating and total wins. Remember, you’ll need at least twenty-five match wins under your belt by the end of the season to snag one.
Your medal journey doesn’t stop there! This upcoming season will wrap up after the BLAST Austin Major on June 22, so watch as that date approaches.
The only mystery remaining is when exactly this new season kicks off. Given how long Season One lingered around, and with such a short window before the next conclusion, we likely won’t have to wait too long now.
