Valve’s recent patch for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive introduces a new one-on-one warmup arena while playing the wingman game mode on certain maps like Vertigo and Train. This addition to the game is very helpful to the players who love training their aim before getting into a game. Valve also added a weapon parameter for the Deagle to 331.55
Valve also included many changes to maps in the 1.37.4.8 update. One of the more important changes is on Train, where players couldn’t access the top of the ladder on the oil train for B site. Valve also brightened the scaffoldings by the oil train making the area more visible to players.
