Valve has activated the long-awaited weekly mission system for the popular FPS game Counter-Strike 2. With this new feature, players will have the opportunity to earn experience points (XP) by completing various missions that are renewed every week. In addition to the mission system, important changes and mode updates have been made to the maps in the game.
Time to Earn XP with Weekly Quests
Counter-Strike 2 players will now face different missions every week. These missions, which can be easily accessed via the game’s main menu or the game launch screen, will reward players with XP when completed. This system, which will reset every seven days, will both encourage new players to progress in the game and provide new goals for experienced players on a regular basis. This is expected to increase in-game activity and strengthen player loyalty.
Major Changes to Map Rotation
Valve has also made significant changes to the map pool with the update. The community-created maps Basalt, Edin, Palais, and Whistle have been completely removed from the game. In their place, three new community maps have been added: Jura, Grail, and Agency. These new maps can be played in Competitive, Casual, and Deathmatch modes. For Wingman mode, players will now compete on the Dogtown and Brewery maps.
Mod-specific Map Adjustments
The Casual and Deathmatch map groups have also been rearranged. Defusal Group Alpha will include Dust 2, Mirage, Inferno, and Vertigo, while Group Delta will add Train, Anubis, Ancient, Overpass, and Nuke. The Community Map Group will include Jura, Grail, and Agency, while the Hostage Map Group will include classic maps Office and Italy. With these adjustments, Valve aims to provide more diverse and interesting map options for players with different playstyles.
Valve's comprehensive update is seen as an important part of Counter-Strike 2's long-term content strategy. The weekly mission system aims to keep players' interest in the game constantly alive, while map rotations and mode-specific adjustments are considered steps to increase the game's competitive balance and variety. With new missions and updated maps, the Counter-Strike 2 experience becomes even richer.
