Alongside this, the developers introduced dozens of map tweaks, audio fixes, and gameplay improvements, already triggering heavy discussion across the community.<\/p>\n<h3>Shroud Self-Boost Is No Longer Possible<\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-387388-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-30-00-59-19.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-30-00-59-19.mp4\">https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-04-30-00-59-19.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>One of the most impactful changes is the removal of the lamp near Shroud, which previously allowed players to perform a self-boost without a teammate. This effectively changes the micro-meta on A site, as the position was often used for unexpected angles and aggressive control. Additionally, Valve:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">removed collision from the sign near the door<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">blocked the jump onto the sign entirely<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">left alternative options \u2014 boosting via the door or using a run-jump<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The community reaction has been mixed.
