A new CS2 patch has been released: Valve added NIGHTMODE II music kits and made another round of fixes to Cache

Latest CS2 update with NIGHTMODE II music kits and Cache changes

During the night of May 8, the Counter-Strike 2 developers released a new update. The main additions were the new NIGHTMODE II music kits, which have already appeared in the in-game store, as well as a series of fixes for Cache. In addition, Valve touched on the Steam Workshop, viewmodel display, ragdoll behavior after death, and settings for some game modes.

Special attention in the patch was once again given to Cache. The developers fixed a number of technical and visual issues, while also improving the interaction between grenades and objects on the map. Against the backdrop of the location’s ongoing polishing, this looks like another step toward a more stable state after its return to the game.

List of changes:

Cache

  • fixed various holes on the map;

  • simplified grenade interaction with objects in different areas;

  • fixed sounds and surface types for different materials;

  • replaced the orange cable spool on sandbags with a white one.

Music Kits

  • NIGHTMODE II music kits are now available for purchase in both the regular version and the StatTrak version in the store tab.

Steam Workshop

  • fixed progressive render refinement in Source Film Maker.

Other

  • the Viewmodel FOV value is now displayed correctly on other clients;

  • adjusted occlusion bounds for player models;

  • fixed a bug with incorrect ragdoll reactions to bullet impacts after death;

  • made minor changes to smoothing transitions when leaving the ground and landing;

  • fixed a case where post-processing transitions were not smooth enough;

  • fixed a bug that caused Ancient map callouts not to load in the night version;

  • adjusted point values for different weapons in Deathmatch mode;

  • adjusted XP limits in Deathmatch and Arms Race modes.

M0NESY was reported to have been the most effective player in clutch situations during the first half of 2026

As a reminder, Valve had previously also fixed a bug that allowed players to use the grenade camera to gain extra information about opponents.
