CSGO: Big update changes losing round bonus, adjusts AUG price and M4A1-WORRY magazine

Valve has just released an update of a larger scale than usual, mentioning the bonus money after each losing round as well as balancing the power of weapons. There is also a new skin box called Prisma Case released.

[GAMEPLAY]

Adjusted the bonus money from the losing round.

• Bonuses from losing rounds are now based on the ‘number of rounds’ the team lost. The ‘number of rounds lost’ increases by 1 after each round lost, and decreases after each round won (minimum 0).
  • 0 rounds lost: $1400
  • 1 round loss: $1900
  • 2 rounds lost: $2400
  • 3 rounds lost: $2900
  • 4 or more losing rounds: $3400
• Previously, a winning round would ‘reset’ the bonus money from the losing round. Now, winning a round only reduces the ‘number of rounds lost’ by 1.
• The team still starts the round (ie round 1 or round 16) with 1 losing round already.
• This feature is left by default and can be controlled with the server’s mp_consecutive_loss_aversion command
• Bonus round loss is still limited by mp_consecutive_loss_max multiplied by cash_team_winner_bonus_consecutive_rounds.
• Added flashbang assist for players to successfully flash an opponent and then get killed by another player. Flashbang throwers will be shown assist in the notification panel. However, if another player deals more than 40 damage to the victim, the support flashbanger will not be displayed.

Weapon changes:

• AUG
  • Now that players have had a chance to learn the AUG, the weapon’s price will return to its original price of $3300.
• M4A1-WILL
  • The M4A1-0S now holds 25 rounds in the magazine, and has 75 extra rounds.
• Shotgun
  • Discounts on some shotguns: Nova ($1050), Sawed-Off ($1100), Mag7 ($1300).
  • Nova penetration increased by 1.
  • Sawed-Off’s firing range increased to 1400.
  • Shotgun bullets that are in the process of reloading will not automatically reload after the player puts the gun away and pulls them out again.
• Fixed an issue where C4 or enemies could be seen through an open door but not on the radar.

[PRISMA CASE]

• Introducing the Prisma Case, which includes 17 skins from the community, and the Horizon Knives in the Chroma set.
