Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's latest update went live yesterday and it ended Operation Broken Fang. Players will have until May 15 to claim their operation rewards via unredeemed operation stars. Retakes will still be available, however, and they are moved to Wargames now.
The update added the Snakebit Case, which contains 17 weapon finishes designed by the community. The case also has a Broken Fang Case set of gloves as rare special rewards. The Chicken Models are visually improved while the “” key can now be bound again. You will need to rebind the key if you were using it before.
Several changes to three maps, Ancient, Nuke, and Frostbite, have been made. You can read about them in great detail below.
