Spring update brings new case; collections to CS2

In a significant cosmetics update, Valve has added three new weapon collections to Counter-Strike 2 and these are now a part of the weekly care package, formerly known as active drop pool. Interestingly, the Armory pass gets an update as well with an XM skin replacing the Heat-Treated deagle in the limited edition category.

A new case has been added which can be obtained exclusively through the armory pass. Inferno and Train have received a lot of changes with the former receiving a big structural change towards banana, widening the area to more closely represent it's CS:GO counterpart. Train's changes revolve around geometry and clipping fixes for the most part.

The limited XM1014 | Solitude can be dropped in a variety of patterns, just like the Heat-Treated deagle but with a much more diverse range of paint finishes that show abstract landscapes. Overall, the update has added over 70 new weapon skins to the game. However, the Shanghai Major stickers are still on sale.

Here's a quick look at a few skins from the "Spring Forward" update:
