Players in Counter-Strike 2 have been experiencing a glitch with certain discount guns that is causing them to deal excessive damage. The Scout and USP-S have been able to kill opponents with full health and head armor in just one shot, even registering as wallbangs in the kill feed. This bug has been reported by multiple players and has caused frustration in matchmaking games.
One player shared their experience with the Scout glitch on Reddit, and others quickly chimed in to confirm that they had also encountered the issue. The USP-S has also been reported to have the same one-shot kill capability. While Dot Esports was able to replicate the Scout glitch, they have not witnessed the pistol side of the bug.
These glitches are not surprising for Counter-Strike 2 players, as the game has been plagued with bugs and issues since its beta release. However, the severity of this particular bug has raised concerns, especially with professional play happening at events like IEM Sydney.
Some professional players have even suggested sticking to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive until these issues are resolved. There is frustration towards Valve for releasing a game that is not ready for competitive play.
Valve has been actively addressing bugs and releasing patches to fix issues since the full release of Counter-Strike 2. However, with IEM Sydney already underway, there may not be enough time to address these latest glitches.
It remains to be seen if this bug will affect professional play, but for now, players can only hope that guns like the Scout and USP-S remain weak until a solution is found.
