🎯 Counter-Strike 2 update improves subtick shooting + adds new features

[etfs]

On Sept. 17, 2025, Valve rolled out a fresh CS2 update that focuses on precision and style:

Subtick improvements – Shooting consistency has been refined for smoother and more accurate registration of player actions.
Genesis Collection – A brand-new set of 17 community-made skins now available.
Spectator loadout inspection – Players can now check another player’s weapons and gear while spectating.
Grenade audio upgrade – Each grenade type now has unique high-fidelity sounds for drawing, inspecting, pin-pulling, and throwing.

What are subticks?
CS2 uses a tick-based server system (e.g., 128 updates per second). Subticks log player actions between those ticks with precise timestamps, making shooting and movement feel more accurate than in traditional tick-only systems.

Valve’s patch notes confirm subtick shooting has been improved — though the exact tweaks weren’t detailed.
