CSGO update makes smokes even easier on Vertigo: October 9 patch notes ValveThe latest CSGO update has seen Vertigo undergo a number of changes, from removing forklifts and doors, to adding new pathways and lights. One small addition seems to have even made using smokes and flashbangs on the map a whole lot easier. Valve first added Vertigo to Counter-Strike in March of this year, and the map divided pro player\u2019s opinions after it bumped fan-favorite battleground Cache out of the active roster. Now the highrise arena has undergone some new adjustments with changes to passageways and the environment around the A bombsite, including the removal of the forklift at the bottom of the area\u2019s ramp, and an exit to lower scaffolding. Interestingly, players soon discovered that the developers had also added something else \u2014 a series of small orange targets painted on the floors, roofs, and walls around the map.

While some dedicated CSGO fans were annoyed that the developers were \u201cstreamlining\u201d mechanics and taking away a \u2018skill-check\u2019 that many had taken months to learn on the new map, others believed it would be a benefit overall. \u201cMemorizing smokes has always felt really annoying and arbitrary for me and I wouldn\u2019t mind if Valve added more markers for common smokes,\u201d bassistgorilla said on Reddit. \u201cYeah memorizing smokes takes time and dedication, but anybody can memorize a bunch of complicated \u201cstand here aim at this, run and then throw\u201d. The actual skill comes in when recognizing when to use the smokes, which smokes, when to buy the smoke, and so on.\u201d As well as the map changes to Vertigo, the latest patch also saw minor bug fixes on Dust II and Nuke, while the latter also had an invisible collision space between ramp and toxic on the B bombsite removed. Minor miscellaneous changes were also implemented, including blocking new users from entering any playlist that isn\u2019t Casual until they reach Private Rank 2, and a fix for the experience progress bar not filling to the end when players reached a new rank. Finally, Valve implemented a back-end program to improve shutdown sequences for the servers, to be used whenever they\u2019re rolling over updates.
