Valve has released another set of updates for the newly launched Counter Strike 2. This new patch has brought changes in gameplay, graphics, and a major tweak in in-game sound. Here’s all that’s new in the latest CS2 patch notes.

Ten-Second Bomb Sound

This latest update has introduced a surprising change to the sound for the final 10 seconds of bomb beeping. Now, rather than simply continuing with the standard, slower beeping sound from before the final 10 seconds, the bomb beeping sound will now gradually become faster in the final moments.

The start of the music note helps players realize when the bomb will set off. Another key advantage of the new countdown sound is that players will still be able to hear opponents when they are alive.

The footsteps sound has also been made clearer and more audible to others. The sound fall off distances have also been adjusted.
