Counter-Strike 2 Update (Sep 30, 2026): what changed
Adjust 5New 2Fix 2
TL;DRThis update focuses on crosshairs and has no weapon balance changes. Valve adds a crosshair outline color option and a new "Static Quadrant" style, enables grenade crosshairs during freeze time, and changes the crosshair share code format to carry the new settings. Rush maps also get clipping fixes.
Who this matters to
Crosshair tweakers
New outline color and style options arrive, and the share code now includes scope dot scale and color, so share codes use a new format.
Utility players
Grenade crosshairs now show during freeze time, which helps line up insta-smokes: just hold any grenade attack button.
