CS GO Patch Notes | 2022 CSGO Service Medal | Latest 1.38.4.5 Update

 

  CS GO Patch Notes  

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a game with a number of moving parts. As such, the game is in a constant state of flux, with developers Valve needing to push out updates every couple of weeks to keep the game’s weapons and maps balanced.

Valve’s approach to updates is to keep them coming little and often, so you’ll find the CS GO patch notes aren’t as meaty as some of the other games you play. While it might be disappointing to hear that the latest update isn’t full of brand-new content, you’ll usually find the small fixes made here and there keep the game – and its players – in check.

So if you’re looking to grind one of the best competitive FPS games out there and climb the CS: GO ranks, you’re going to want to stay on top of the comings and goings of the game. So, here is the last couple of CS GO patch notes for your perusal.

We’ve had a couple of bug-fix patches recently, but this latest CS: GO update has more than made up for the lack of content. A new operation, called Operation Riptide, has been added to the game, along with new maps, missions, and modes. Like before, there’s a free and paid battle pass to get stuck into, so there’s something for everyone.

Away from Operation Riptide, which you can read more about here, several major changes were made to CS: GO – the first being that you can now drop grenades like weapons – perfect if your teammate knows a pop flash or a cloud of smoke you don’t. The second major change is that Valve is trialing short MR16 in competitive matches. Several weapons have also been nerfed and buffed in this update, so you’ll want to read the patch notes below carefully.

  CS GO PATCH NOTES 03/06/2021  

This patch includes by far the biggest change to CS: GO in a long time. Valve has decided Prime status can no longer be earned, forcing players who wish to grind for the CS: GO ranks to pay for the privilege.

Non-Prime players can still play CS: GO through a new unranked mode, but they won’t be able to earn XP, ranks, item drops, and service medals.

Here are the full patch notes:

  NON-PRIME  

• Non-Prime status accounts will no longer earn XP, Ranks, Skill Groups, item drops, or Prime status through playtime.
• Non-Prime accounts will not be able to take part in Ranked matches.
• Non-Prime accounts will not be able to start Bonus Rank XP items and can no longer claim Service Medals.

  UNRANKED MATCHES  

• Introducing Unranked matches for Competitive, Wingman, and Danger Zone game modes.
• While still utilizing skill-based matchmaking, Unranked matches do not affect Skill Group and have no Skill Group party restrictions.
• Non-Prime accounts are restricted to Unranked, whereas Prime accounts may choose between Ranked and Unranked.
• Ranked matches will always be with other Prime players, exclusively, whereas Unranked matches will be created from the mixed pool of Non-Prime players — and Prime players that have chosen to play Unranked.

  VBSCRIPT  

• Added “DebugDrawBoxAngles” to draw oriented bounding boxes. Usage: DebugDrawBoxAngles( ent.GetOrigin(), ent.GetBoundingMins(), ent.GetBoundingMaxs(), ent.GetAngles(), r, g, b, a, time);
• Added “GetBoundingMinsOriented” and “GetBoundingMaxsOriented” functions that return the axis-aligned bounding box of an entity taking its current orientation into account.

  MISC  

• Scrimmage has been removed from Competitive matchmaking and has been replaced by Unranked matchmaking.
• Added Import button to Workshop Workbench that takes a .tga file and generates a .vtf file. If the .tga file name contains “_normal” the generated .vtf file will be compiled with the ‘normal’ flag.

 

  CS GO PATCH NOTES 27/05/2021

Best Gamemode to Grind XP without Hacks or Scripts

The XP you gain for playing CS: GO may depend on your skills so keep in mind that this is just an approximation so let’s see the TOP game modes for XP/min of gameplay.

Game Mode – XP/Min

• Arms Race – 10.2
• Deathmatch – 7
• Demolition – 6
• Casual – 7.7
• Competitive – 7.2
• Wingman – 7.2

(In some game modes the xp partially relies on the skills of your mates like Wingman 2vs2 or Competitive5vs5).

Tip: They are no easy ways of grinding XP AFK But you could play competitively with 5 acct in the same server but that’s too sketchy and a waste of electricity for a worthless badge. That according to the terms and conditions of steam you cannot sell since the only way to sell it is by selling your account.

XP Boosts

Weekly Bonus

Weekly bonus this changes as you increase your total XP till you get to 11.200xp then it starts to reduce all your XP

• 3x for the first 3.500 XP
• 1x for the remaining 1.500 XP

Reduced multiplier

• 0.175x when you got 11.200 total XP

 

Operation XP Boost

This is one of the most important points and the one that it’s going to save you all a lot of time but its not free, each operation costs $15 for the first days then it usually goes down for a sale but for me its completely worth it because you get stuff that can usually worth more than what you pay.

You will get these boosters completing missions or challenges and they can instantly boost you 1 level for each boost.

Tip: You can collect them throughout the years and save yourself some time.
