Previously, in such cases, the game often calculated damage as if the grenade had exploded directly on the surface, which could result in inflated or incorrect values.<\/p>\n<p>Now, damage from an airburst near the ground is calculated correctly, without artificially \u201cpulling\u201d it toward a ground detonation. This makes HE grenade usage more predictable and fair, especially in professional matches and clutch situations.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Audio Tweaks: Valve Continue to Balance Knife Sounds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The patch also includes further adjustments to knife sounds. Valve are not adding new audio effects, but continue to fine-tune existing ones by reducing sharp volume spikes and improving balance within the game\u2019s overall sound mix.<\/p>\n<p>These changes are aimed at ensuring that knife animation sounds do not overpower footsteps, gunfire, and other critically important audio cues during gameplay.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Technical Changes and Community Map Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A separate part of the update focuses on technical fixes and work with community maps. Valve have optimized performance in specific scenarios, particularly during chicken explosions, which previously could negatively impact FPS in custom modes.<\/p>\n<p>An issue in map scripts related to incorrect handling of Entity.SetOwner has also been fixed, and a new mechanism for saving user settings on community maps has been introduced. The game now asks for permission to save modified parameters \u2014 such as radar, viewmodel, or safezone \u2014 after a map ends.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Valve have tightened restrictions for community maps by reducing the list of allowed console commands. This should lower the risk of abuse and improve the overall stability of custom content.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Map Updates: Stronghold Receives a New Version<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the maps section, the update affected Stronghold. The map has been updated to the latest version from the Community Workshop, including the author\u2019s most recent fixes and improvements accumulated over time.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/g2-beat-liquid-fut-sweep-legacy-iem-krakow-2026\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PHOTO-02-6.webp\" alt=\"FUT eliminate Legacy as G2 edge Liquid in IEM Krak\u00f3w 2026 Stage 1\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/g2-beat-liquid-fut-sweep-legacy-iem-krakow-2026\">FUT eliminate Legacy as G2 edge Liquid in IEM Krak\u00f3w 2026 Stage 1<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/g2-beat-liquid-fut-sweep-legacy-iem-krakow-2026\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1784019499#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1784019499#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1784019499#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jan 29<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Fundamental Aspects of the Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This latest <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/730\/view\/499470950023037644?l=english\">Counter-Strike 2 patch<\/a> does not introduce headline-grabbing features, but it clearly demonstrates Valve\u2019s systematic work on the game\u2019s fundamentals.
