New CS:GO update patch notes 16 June

Without a doubt the biggest map changes in the new CS:GO update patch notes released on 16th June 2022 has to be for Ancient, the newest Active Duty map.

• Who is Lika LiQueen aka Angelika Mikhailova?

Before we get to the Ancient changes, there's one gun nerf. Valve has nerfed the M4A1-S, reducing the gun's magazine size to 20 bullets, with 80 in reserve.

While this might not seem like a big deal to casual players, this is the first time Valve has decided to nerf a popular CS:GO weapon in ages.

Ancient has only been part of the Active Duty Map Pool for CS:GO esports tournaments for the past year or so, and there are still some issues to sort out.
