CSGO April 10 update nerfs Krieg SG553, buffs M4A1, & more \u2013 patch notes ValveValve have released a new update for CS:GO on April 10, implementing some much-needed weapon changes, as well as tweaks to certain maps and other aspects of the game. The Krieg SG553 has undoubtedly been the most controversial weapon in CSGO over the past few weeks, and this April 10 patch has finally nerfed it, along with some nice buffs to both the M4A1 and Deagle. Guns aren\u2019t all that developers tweaked though; several maps saw adjustments and there are a number of so-called \u2018miscellaneous\u2019 changes as well. Weapon Changes According to Valve\u2019s April 10 patch notes, the SG553 now has a \u201creduced rate of fire and accuracy to bring the weapon\u2019s value to be more in line with other rifles.\u201d As one of the most complained about weapons in CS:GO as of late, plenty of people are happy to finally see the weapon getting tuned down. The AUG saw a major upgrade, with improved standing accuracy while unscoped, but at a tradeoff of slightly reduced scoped accuracy. One of the biggest winners from the patch could be the M4A1 though, which has seen its purchase price drop to $2900, which could make it a more viable option for teams going forward. Map Changes Along with weapon updates, there were also changes made to several maps, including one of the newest ones, the fan-made Anubis. The winning map of the Mapcore Exotic Places contest will be officially moved from Scrimmage to Competitive mode with the April 10 patch. Inferno, Overpass, Office, Chlorine and Mirage also all receive tweaks in the patch, some of which are significant changes, and others more minor, cosmetics fixes. Misc. Changes In the miscellaneous category, bots will no longer be chatterboxes during round warmups, allowing you to focus, center yourself, or however else you want to use the silence. Overall, the Krieg changes seem to be well-received by the community, with players praising Valve\u2019s choice to finally nerf the weapon. On the flip side though, the buffs that the Deagle received may have gone a little too far, according to a clip showing how accurate it really is along with jumping following the April 10 update.
