CS:GO update brings Mirage, Overpass changes; tweaks agent visibility

Valve's latest update to the game makes adjustments to pixel gaps on Mirage's A bombsite, trims shrubbery on Overpass, and tweaks the colour and contrast of three agent skins.

Following community outcry towards poor agent visibility that resulted in agent skins being banned from competitive matches, including FACEIT, ESEA, and offline tournaments, Valve have made adjustments to the colours and contrasts of three agents - 3rd Commando Company, "Two Times" McCoy, and Seal Team 6 Soldier.

The trio of agents have seen their green colours darkened, with their previous colour tone heavily affecting visibility on the new Cache remake, as well as darker areas of other Active Duty maps such as Overpass and Train. The foliage and shrubbery outside of the bathrooms on Overpass have also been considerably trimmed down, alleviating further visibility concerns where players could previously remain hidden in plain sight.

Additionally, a number of pixel gaps on Mirage have been removed, specifically the angles from behind triple and default that allowed for players to gain advantageous angles towards jungle and connector. The larger gap behind fire box remains unchanged.

The complete patch notes for the 12/13/2019 update can be found below:

[ AGENTS ]
– 3rd Commando Company, ‘Two Times’ McCoy, and Seal Team 6 Soldier have been updated to improve visibility. These previously mid-tone agents have been darkened, and contrast has been increased in their head and shoulders.

[ MISC ]
– Accolade weighting has been adjusted for non-Competitive modes.
– Added nametag preview on the model to match the rendering rules.
– Fixed items inside storage units sometimes showing up as unacknowledged.
– Fixed overview map from crashing when drawing too many line segments.

[ MAPS ]
Overpass:
– Pruned some shrubbery.

Mirage:
– Removed pixel-gaps on boxes in bombsite A.

Good changes imo! but pls remove the SG in the next update... i know you are reading this GabeN, im your biggest fan!

What is skillful in the weapon? Such an easy spray because bullet spread is much low. I get better spray results with this guy. Then you can literally scope when spraying, meaning the spray will reduce. Crouch peek with the scope and its an advantage vs any rifle. Pre-fire is so easy..

They don't have to touch it anymore at ESL it was used pretty much like the AK (eye test, didn't look up stats). If it's still used too much just increase the price 200-300$ again but don't nerf its stats pls

Trying to fix the problem? Man the obvious solution is a command to disable the agents on the client side. Or they could just make the models only visible for your team. Then its not a problem with visibility. But they wont do this because this would make the agents drop in price.

Just a thought. But what would u think if valve made kreig 2900 but remove the scope and put extra 300$ on scope. Most players using kreig like brollan don't even use scope , so it's going to be an interesting change to see how pros react

Brollan is a trash player, if you remove Krieg he retires. The Meta is so inconsistent because of Krieg. Good teams like NiP, Liquid, NaVi, MiBR, Vitality are so bad because Krieg Teams Like fnatic, mouz, Australis, 100T, Furia are here.

They probably removed outside grass on the toilets where you can see entrance to connector since with new model you can crouch out in the open and its very hard to spot coming from connector and probably some at long. Check out nadeking video called "i was invisible on csgo" or smth like that and youll see
