CSGO Update: Krieg nerf, M4A1-S discount and more gun changes

Valve has just released a big update for CSGO, which includes changes for SG553, AUG, M4A1-S, Deagle, Tec-9 and Bizon.

Many people will surely be happy to see SG553 nerfed. This gun has become so familiar to the T side in the last 2 years, and maybe it’s time to reduce Krieg’s power so that other guns can play.

The SG553 also suffers from the same nerf as its CT brother AUG: The rate of fire and accuracy are reduced “to help it not be too superior to other rifles.”

Other changes include: AUG accuracy as well as M4A1-S price drop to $2,900. In addition, Bizon and Tec-9 have also received buffs after disappearing from pro play recently, and Deagle jumping accuracy has been improved.

Here are the detailed changes in this update:

WEAPONS

• SG553 – Reduces the rate of fire and accuracy so that the gun is not too superior to other rifles. Looks like SG553 has been at the top for quite some time, leading to the inevitable Krieg nerf.
• AUG – Improved accuracy when shooting without scope. Reduced scope accuracy a bit.
• M4A1-S – Discounted to $2,900.
• Deagle – Improves jumping accuracy, reduces accuracy recovery time after the player lands.
• Tec-9 – Reduces ‘incorrect stats’ when firing.
• Bizon – Increases armor penetration.

SMALL CHANGE

• Compress multiple textures to reduce memory usage.
• Automatic mute from bot during warmup.
• Remove ‘Guardian’ from the ‘Looking to play’ tab.
• Add launch option -noubershader. Players on very old Intel hardware can set this command to improve framerate. This option should not be used arbitrarily because it can cause stuttering on most GPUs today.
