Evgenii "Gufis" Kondratev We expected Valve to release a Counter-Strike 2 update today, mainly because the limited-edition Desert Eagle Heat Treated skin's availability period had ended. However, the patch released today turned out to be a bit different from what we anticipated.
First, let's discuss what actually happened and we expected that. The traditional discount on Shanghai Major stickers is now active. You can purchase the desired capsule not for a dollar, but for just 25 cents. This is particularly great timing for Team Spirit fans, as they have their own championship capsule, and the autograph of 2024's best player, donk, is trending.

Next, we were expecting changes to the Armory. With the limited-time Desert Eagle Heat Treated skin gone, many hoped for a new skin to take its place. However, instead of a replacement, we got... absolutely nothing. The Desert Eagle skin is now only available on the Steam marketplace, sold by other players, but no new "toy" has been added yet.
This might be due to the fact that the limited Desert Eagle didn’t quite meet expectations. While everyone wanted to own it and rushed to buy it, the result was an oversupply, leading to a relatively low market price. Those hoping to profit from the Heat Treated skin likely didn’t succeed.
Lastly, a few bugs related to inspection animations were fixed, but that’s about it. It feels like we’re yearning for more—knowing that Valve is actively working on the game—but for now, it seems we’ll have to wait.
