CS2 has genuinely seen better days, what with all the cheaters running around and unresolved technical issues. Now, it seems the two have come together to grant certain players the wonderful ability to turn invisible in live matches with nothing more than their muzzle flash visible to others.
The issue was brought to light (wink, wink) by Reddit user RenditionGaming, who posted a video of it on the CS2 subreddit on April 23. In the video, they are shown playing against a player who has seemingly turned invisible and could peek without any trouble of being spotted. When the player shoots, only the gun’s muzzle flash appears (though even that would be concealed if they were using a silenced weapon). Players reacting to the video are rightfully disappointed, as this only adds to the ever-growing list of problems faced by Valve’s flagship shooter.
