New CS:GO update nerfs the M4A1-S and shakes up Ancient
A new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update has landed, and it includes some significant tweaks to the FPS game's maps and a nerf to one of the game's best guns.
The June 15 CS:GO update released by Valve is far from the biggest we've ever seen, but for some players it'll have a significant impact. Heading up the CS:GO patch notes for this update is a nerf to the M4A1-S. The assault rifle will see its magazine size shrink from 25 to 20 bullets, reverting an ammo capacity buff the weapon received a few years ago. This nerf is necessary because the M4A1-S has been rather strong over the last few months, thanks to a damage buff it received last year at the start of Operation Riptide.
While the weapon's desirable damage output remains, there is now the drawback of having fewer bullets at your disposal, which might put some players off. Those who are accurate and economical with their shooting, however, will probably still find the gun viable.
