Return of Negev and Revolver

Valve has released a new update for the game CS:GO, marking the return of the Negev and R8 Revolver two most rejected CS:GO guns in the matches.

The upgrade to these two weapons is part of a “significant revision” process, which Valve bought together to “assess its impact” on the game. Negev’s price dropped to $2,000, a pretty shocking decision for many players.

In the update, Valve explained that the new pricing is just “The Beginning” and that it will “encourage players to try more weapons”.

“We wanted the Negev to be a ‘flexible’ weapon that would require team testing to be effective, and to begin testing, the Negev’s price was significantly reduced,” Valve said. .”
