New update resolves grenade inconsistency

23-5-2019 00:50

Valve have shipped out a new update, which makes smokes, HE grenade explosions, and fire display consistently among all players.

The latest update is supposedly a response to a recent publicization of a command which allowed players to switch rotations of smokes and affected molotov, incendiary, and HE grenade explosions, causing the player to have an unfair advantage.

Meanwhile, usual inconsistencies between how smokes are displayed among players on a server, which also commonly differed from what spectators could see, has been a point of contention for years.

Smokes and other grenade explosions now display the same way among the players

Both issues have apparently been resolved today with an update featuring one of the shortest changelogs concerning gameplay, which simply states:

[GAMEPLAY]
– Smoke, HE Grenade explosions, and fire are now always displayed consistently between all players.

Would be interesting with statistics of smoke kills, luckily for Astralis it's not statistics that are calculated. Smoke kills are probably like 50% of CT side Inferno Astralis kills.

The more you spray the more you’re likely to connect. With csgos sound it’s even easier to land shots through smoke. Add a constant sound effect
