March 13 CS:GO update finally nerfs AUG and makes major changes to round loss bonuses \u2013 Patch Notes CS:GOA massive update has been released for CounterStrike: Global Offensive on March 13, introducing a flurry of new content and much-needed changes to the game. Chief among those changes is a major adjustment made to the round loss bonus system, which determines how much in-game currency players receive after losing a round. Now, these bonuses will be based on the count of a team\u2019s round losses, with the count increasing by one after every loss and deceasing by one after every win. Previously, a round win would completely reset the round loss bonus. According to the developers, this change has been made with the goal of \u201creducing a negative feedback loop following streaks of losses.\u201d In reaction to this change, many players are already predicting that this new system will reduce the number of \u2018eco rounds,\u2019 which, in turn, would mean more rounds with major guns in play. Another major change made in this update is a nerf to the AUG, whose price has now been reverted back to $3,300 after it had been recently lowered to $3,150. This change had given rise to a lot of negative feedback among the player-base, many of whom felt that the scoped AR had become way to powerful with its low price.
