Quick Take5 changes

The 2018-10-23 update brought a Halloween event and various enhancements.

  • New: Ghost mode in Casual, Demolition, and Flying Scoutsman allows dead players to haunt as ghosts.
  • New: Halloween-themed changes to Cobblestone map and zombie chickens.

CS:GO just got a whole lot spookier!

For a limited time players can fright their way through a midnight makeover of Cobblestone. Along with Cobblestone’s haunting new look, players can torment their enemies from the grave as a ghost in Casual, Demolition, and Flying Scoutsman game modes. Spray graffiti, meet up with other undead, or just mess around with some breakable objects using a spectral ghost knife – it all makes for a scary good time!

And don’t forget about the chickens – they’ve also dressed for the occasion…
