CS:GO opdatering: Operation Hydra frigivet

I nattens mulm og mørke bliver der ofte frigivet opdateringer til CS:GO, i nat var ingen undtagelse, som dog bød på en af de større af slagsen. Den nyeste operation i spillet er nemlig endelig ude og hedder Hydra. 

Sammen med den nye operation som byder på de sædvanlige missioner, er der også en coin der kan tjenes hjem ved at gennemføre missioner og derved optjene stjerner. Normalt kan der tjenes op til Gold level, men denne gang er Diamond det højeste.

Med Operation Hydra introduceres også Hydra events, som skifter hver uge, der er tre modes: Wingman, Weapons Expert og Wargames. Wingman byder på 2v2 BO16 kampe på single-bombsite maps.

Weapons Expert byder på en BO30, hvor du kun kan købe det samme våben én gang i kampen - det handler derfor om at kunne bruge en masse forskelligt.

Ikke mindst er der War games, som har seks forskellige game modes. Blandt andet Stab Stab Zap, hvor der skal bruges knife og zeus. The Flying Scoutsman kan muligvis huskes blandt ældre spillere, hvor at man har en SSG og en kniv og tyngdekraften er sat ned.

Den nye operation har også fire nye maps med sig; Austria, Lite, Shipped, Thrill og tre gamle fra ældre operationer: Agency, Black Gold, Insertion, 

Sidst men absolut ikke mindst, er der også en ny case og dermed helt nye skins. Seksten nye våben indeholder den nye case. Tre af disse kan ses herunder.

Resten kan ses på Operationens hjemmeside.

Et all access-pass til Operation Hydra koster $5.99 eller hvad der svarer til knap 40 kroner og selve updaten fylder 843 mb.

Udover den nye operation er der også lavet lidt små tweaks, som blandt andet byder på en ændring af UMP45, i form af reduceret skade.
