A new update has been released for CS2, and this one is a content update, as it brings new maps and cosmetics to the game. Of course, the patch also has some usual adjustments and bug fixes, just like we would expect from a normal update, but the new content takes the spotlight this time.
In total, we have three groups of maps being added to the different games. Jura, Grail, Dogtown, and Brewery have been added to all game modes. Palacio and Golden were added to Competitive, Casual, and Deathmatch modes. And lastly, Rooftop and Transit have been added to Wingman mode.
All of these maps have been made by the community, using the tools and resources Valve has at everyone's disposal through Steam.
On top of that, three sets of cosmetics have been added to the Armory, with the first one being the Dr. Boom charm collection. This is a little HE Grenade that can be customized with a variety of designs, including a pumpkin just in time for Halloween.
The second collection is the Missing Link community charm, which is a character in the shape of a large vertical figure that can be customized into many things, like a ghost, a cucumber, a pencil, a tiki, etc.
Lastly, the patch adds a new set of sticks, which you can take a look at in the following image.
