Valve is Quietly Removing 4 Armory Items in CS2 April 22 Patch

Almost 24 hours after the CS2 AnimGraph2 update, Valve has rolled out some additional patches today, Wednesday. In their weekly update, the developers revealed changes to gameplay and the newly released AnimGraph system. In an unexpected moment, Valve forgot to add a major note to their latest April patch. That said, here's everything you need to know about the CS2 Update April 22.

All Changes in April 22 CS2 Updates Release Notes

Valve realized the humor in pushing three successive updates within 24 hours. In their official post on X (formerly Twitter), they wrote, “We've prepared another dish.”

The tweet drew attention from both fans and creators. Popular figures like Twitch streamer fl0m and professional Counter-Strike team Mouz also commented on the post.

To learn what was changed in the previous patch, check out our coverage of the CS2 April 21 update.

Counter Strike 2 April 22 Updates:

These are the two major categories that were affected in the CS2 Update April 22:

Gameplay

• One major change the developers brought to the game was centred on the camera motion when firing a weapon. They adjusted it to make the motion feel similar to what it was like in CSGO. The bullet trajectories remained consistent as they have been in CS2 so far.
• External sources of aim punch (getting shot) will see players experiencing the full camera motion. The effects caused by bullet trajectories still apply immediately on the server.

AnimGraph 2:

• Valve developers also added minor adjustments to the game's viewmodel animations.
• Several cases where crouch transitions in the air were instantaneous were also fixed.
• Another bug where MVP panels did not reset correctly was squashed.

What did Valve Miss in the CS2 Update April 22?

Valve shared a second tweet to the release notes post. It claimed four items were leaving the Armory soon.

These four items are set to leave after the recent April 22 CS2 updates:

• Train 2025 Collection

• Sport & Field Collection

• Sugarface 2 Stickers

• Elemental Craft Stickers

The Counter Strike 2 April 22 update is expected to make combat more fluid, something most players feel has been lacking since the game's release.
