Wingman is a 2v2 version of Counter-Strike Competitive, where two teams of two players face off against each other in a best-of-16 rounds match. The first team to win 9 rounds wins the match.
The gamemode is now available on LambdaNet, queue up with a friend or on your own and face off against bots.
Wingman is launching with 6 maps, which you can see above.
All maps are for the defuse gamemode, with Hostage rescue coming later this year.
Profile Backgrounds are a brand new economy item that's more visible than ever.
Backgrounds are available in the Operation Equinox Store. Backgrounds are visible when getting an MVP, in your inventory inspecting and various parts of the UI that show a user cover image.
Using the new screenspace Shaders available in Garry's Mod, we have introduced 8 unique backgrounds, with more to come in the future
These backgrounds are available in the Operation Equinox Store, and can be used to customize your profile.
Here are some examples of the new profile backgrounds in the wild.
Gone are the days where the Zeus x27 was a one-shot wonder. With today's update the Taser now recharges.
By default the Taser takes thirty seconds to charge, with the charge time being reduced in games like Arms Race.
After being absent from the new base gamemode, the R8 Revolver is finally back.
The revolver now works more like how it does in Counter-Strike.
The decoy grenade is now here! After throwing it, the grenade will play the sound of the most powerful weapon in your loadout.
The Incendiary Grenade (For CT's) and Molotov (For T's) are now here!
Rewritten from the ground up, these grenades now use newer, higher quality particle effects and the flames now spread.
Phase 2 missions for Operation Equinox are now here.
Due to the delay from the release of the operation, another set will be released next week in addition.
(But Linux now crashes due to HLSL shaders, can't win)
Spice up your in-game profile with Profile Backgrounds!
There are currently 8 in total, with more being added in the future.
You can purchase a random Profile Background from the Operation Equinox Store.
This will prevent duplicate challenges (e.g two challenges to get Kills on Guardian)
Tasers can now re-charge instead of simply being thrown away.
On most gamemodes, the taser will take 30 seconds to recharge, while on Arms Race, it takes 5 seconds.
The hostage models from CS2 have now been ported over.
Shotgun reloading is now networked and predicted.
CT bots will pick a site to stay and defend.
Terrorist bots with the C4 will pick a bomb site to plant at.
All CT bots can defuse the bomb.
During Freeze time, bots will buy the best available weapon in their budget.
Physics props can be annoying for competitive play, as such, a ConVar has been created to determine how to handle physics props, which include:
Now matches the CS2 Style and includes support for Profile Backgrounds
This is used for Halftime.
Used to fully freeze players and not allow them to mouse their mouse (Like in Freeze time)
This is used for Half-time and end of match
Previously, this would almost always switch you to the knife. This now works properly and switches to the best available weapon with the most amount of ammo.
Fixes some things that were missing such as Kill and Death count persisting after warmup and not being unfrozen if Warmup is started while in freeze time.
Alerts such as bomb planted override the HUD colour to Red.
