Five-seveN changes go live in latest update

The update that was released on the beta client just two days ago has now been released to the main client. Valve continued on reworking the pistols, with the focus of the 8/17/2017 update being the Five-Seven. The pistol's accuracy while moving has been "substantially reduced", but the gun has received a slight buff in terms of accuracy while shooting rapidly in return.

Some changes have been made to the Chinese release of the game as well, as it now supports custom avatars and access to the developer's console. Alongside that, a plethora of minor, miscellaneous fixes have been applied. 

Read the 8/17/2017 update changelog below:
