Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update adds fully automatic pistol
There's been a new update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which, according to Steam's not at all ridiculous new tagging system , is a Competitive Tactical Multiplayer Shooter. And a CoD-Like. Whatever Steam users think about the game, the community now has access to a new weapon type. Alongisde highly important features like "added diagnostic info to debug video config reset", the most recent patch has introduced the CZ75-Auto, a fully automatic pistol.
"When you load CS:GO today, you'll get a new stock weapon in your inventory," write Valve . "The fully-automatic CZ75-Auto is available for both teams, and can be equipped as a loadout alternative to the P250.
"An inexpensive option against armored opponents, the CZ's stats are identical to the P250 with two important exceptions: the pistol is fully-automatic, and comes with far less ammo. Accurate and deadly, the CZ75-Auto demands precise timing and trigger discipline."
That pistol can also be skinned in a variety of ways through the finishes contained in the new CSGO Weapons Case 3. That case is now dropping in-game because, as the tags themselves say, "Marketable Items".
