CS:GO fans turn the classic FPS game into Fall Guys with skins and "30 minigames"

Fall Guys, Mediatonic's zany and colourful battle royale game, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve's gritty FPS game, aren't two titles you'd naturally slot together. And yet, one creative CS:GO fan has created a stupendous mash-up of the two, with a fan map that essentially turns the shooter into a beany bonanza.


Made by creators Teteu and Enrico_srp4, the 'MG_Fallling_Guy' CS:GO fan map is, even at first glance, everything that Fall Guys is. Snapshots of the map in action on its Steam Workshop page showcase the same vividly coloured platforms peppered with zany obstacles that fill the battle royale, with blue skies and fluffy clouds beyond. And, of course, there are those distinctive bean costumes included, which are lined up ready for players to hop into.


The creators say that the map includes 30 minigames to pick from, or you can opt for a random selection via its 'quick play' feature. There aren't details giving us a rundown of what these are, exactly, but from the attached images it looks like there obstacle courses with features like levitating platforms, Fall Guys' infamous spinning level contraption, mazes, and other similar things.

A modder recreated de_dust2 inside Teardown's destructible engine

I never much cared for de_dust2, which left me slightly dismayed when it rapidly took over the entirety of Counter-Strike and became its most popular map ever. Thankfully now I can have my revenge. A modder has re-created de_dust2 in Teardown, the destructive heist sim, so I can blow the famous level apart brick by brick until all that's left is... dust.

CS:GO devs are giving away a Hades music kit to the RPG's Steam players

If you're a fan of both Valve's shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Supergiant Games' action-RPG game Hades, you're in luck. The CS:GO devs have just shipped three new music kits - items that let you replace the FPS game's tracks with new, custom tunes - and one can be unlocked for free if you own and play Hades on PC.


"Today we're shipping three new Music Kits. Scarlxrd (CHAIN$AW.LXADXUT) and Neck Deep (The Lowlife Pack) are now available for purchase," Valve says in a new blog post. Alongside these, though, the devs say that from now you can unlock a brand-new Hades music kit in CS:GO if you own Supergiant's roguelike game on Steam and have racked up more than five hours of play time in it. If you meet those criteria, you'll find the Hades music kit in your CS:GO inventory.


There are already a bunch of CS:GO music kits available for the game, including ones that tie into other PC gaming greats like Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Half-Life: Alyx, though there are plenty of other non-gaming-related tunes, too.
