Skins Will Carry Over to Counter Strike 2
In the FAQ section of Counter-Strike 2’s Steam page, Valve explicitly stated that all weapon finishes, stickers, and other inventory items from CS:GO would be available in Counter-Strike 2. This announcement should provide reassurance to the player base that their investment in cosmetic items will not be lost when transitioning to the new game. It demonstrates Valve’s commitment to honoring the progress and dedication of their players throughout the years.
Will VAC Bans Be Enforced in Counter Strike 2?
However, the company has also made it clear that players who have received VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) or game bans in CS:GO will face repercussions in Counter-Strike 2. These banned players will not have access to servers secured with the Valve Anti-Cheat system, effectively preventing them from participating in the game’s competitive scene. This decision underscores Valve’s dedication to maintaining the integrity and fairness of their games, ensuring a level playing field for all players.
In summary, Valve has provided clarity on the transfer of skins and bans from CS:GO to Counter-Strike 2. Players can now look forward to the new game, confident that their collection of cosmetic items will be preserved. However, those with bans must be aware that their previous actions will have consequences in the new title. Valve’s decisions in this matter reflect their commitment to both honoring the dedication of their players and upholding the integrity of their gaming ecosystem.
