Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most popular free to play games on Steam. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the number of players has risen, and CS:GO even crossed the one million concurrent users mark recently. But, the problem with the increase in number is that hackers are rising, and there are a lot of blatant cheaters as well who ruin the game for others.
In Valve's recent patch, they made some necessary changes for weapons and maps. This includes a reduction on the fire rate and accuracy for SG553 as it’s one of the few guns with a scope. Valve also buffed the PP-Bizon’s armor penetration, which allows you to kill enemies a bit faster by depleting their armor quicker.
