Counter-Strike 2 Update from September 24, 2026: Bug fixes for Rush mode and silent reload animations

List of Changes

Rush

• The countdown time after elimination has been increased from 7 to 14 seconds in Final Towers and “Convoy.”
• The elimination countdown no longer triggers when the entire team is eliminated by suicides, teammate kills, or disconnections from the server.
• The warm-up time after all players have connected, the freeze time, and the technical pause have been reduced.
• Various bugs have been fixed, and texture overlays have been corrected.

Sights

• Here is additional information about the new crosshair system:
  • The length and thickness of crosshairs are now measured in pixels. Previously, these values were determined using an arbitrary scale and varied depending on the selected screen resolution;
  • Please note that the new system automatically scales the number of pixels when the resolution changes. For example, a crosshair thickness of two units at 1280x720 will be updated to four units at 2560x1440—the value will be proportional to what you originally set.
• An option to create half-outlines has been added, which will add the upper-left portions of the reticle outline.
• Fixed a bug that caused a zero gap width to be ignored.
• Added a static square crosshair style.
• The minimum dynamic spread distance has been reduced to 64 pixels.
• New dynamic crosshair styles will now show the actual spread and inaccuracy of the selected weapon.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed a bug that caused silent reload animations in the left hand to be displayed incorrectly.
• Fixed a bug that caused third-person player animations during silent reloading to play too quickly.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Dual Berettas to be animated incorrectly during reloading.
• Clan tags are now displayed in death messages.
