CSGO Operation Shattered Web update: Krieg nerf and more \u2013 Patch Notes Controversial Counter-Strike assault rifle SG 553, colloquially known as the \u2018Krieg,\u2019 has finally seen changes in the game\u2019s most recent patch, the Shattered Web update. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive developers teased potential changes to the now-infamous gun, which has been dividing the ranked and competitive communities on its over-powered state, and have now revealed how they have tweaked the rifle. The Krieg has dominated the meta for the past few months, even out-stripping the tried-and-true AK-47 as a must-buy on the Terrorist side. Part of the reason behind its power is due to its price. Previously set at $2,750, it\u2019s only $50 more expensive than the AK-47, but offers players an easy to use spray pattern, long-ranged power with its scope, and increased armor penetration. The gun \u2014 which some CS:GO stars have even slammed as a \u201cCoD gun\u201d because of its skill-level \u2014 has finally landed on the nerf chopping block in the November 18 patch, which also dropped the game\u2019s first new operation in more than 900 days. The SG 553 has seen its price increase by $250, from $2,750 to $3,000, bringing it more in line with Counter-Terrorist assault rifle option M4A4, which costs $3,100, or the similarly scoped AUG, which has cost $3,300 since March. The change brings the Krieg back to its original price-point, after the assault rifle first saw a reduction in cost on October 9. As well as the changes to the Krieg, CS:GO\u2019s latest patch also saw the FAMAS and the Galil both reduced by $200, to $2,050 and $1,800 respectively. Both guns have also had full-auto spraying accuracy increased alongside the price changes. Time will tell if this price swap will knock the Krieg off the top of the Terrorist options list, but it did take a rate-of-fire and reduction of unscoped accuracy to bump CT counterpart AUG out of the must-buy list last June. The long-awaited SG 553 changes come at the same time as Valve\u2019s bombshell release of Operation Shattered Web, which is bringing new maps, playlists, weekly missions, and a mountain of new weapon skins and cases available for players.

MISC \u2013 \u2018AWP | Hyper Beast\u2019 and \u2018P90 | Nostalgia\u2019 updated to correct wear at Factory New WORKSHOP Pearlescent coatings: We have added support for applying a pearlescent coating to weapon finishes. Pearlescent coatings use ceramic crystals to reflect and refract light, splitting it into different colors as the view angle changes. This effect can be used in a number of ways to subtly enhance your weapon finish or make drastic changes. The new Operation Shattered Web collections have some weapons with pearlescent coatings to illustrate some of the ways this new feature can be used. The Workshop Workbench has been updated to include this feature so you can experiment with adding this coating to a weapon finish. Using higher values will make the color bands tighter and more frequent and using negative values will flip the spectrum to start on the opposite end. It should be noted that this coating will shift the hue of your weapon finish so parts with no saturation, and therefore no hue, will have no pearlescent effect. We look forward to seeing what interesting applications you come up with.
