CSGO Patch Notes: Mutiny map fixes, numerous gameplay issues addressed

The latest CSGO update has just rolled out – bringing with it a host of changes and tweaks. Mutiny is a tropical-inspired map with lush palm trees and large stone walls. It arrived with Swamp, with the new pair replacing Chlorine and Jungle in official matchmaking.

Fixes this week focus on Mutiny, including general gameplay changes, from foliage removal to improved clipping in various locations. Another nice addition sees ship cannons now firing out to sea as a celebration when the bomb explodes.
