Valve released a new CS:GO update in the at around 03:00 GMT on 4th February 2021, making changes to the Short-Handed income mechanic introduced<\/a> back in January. The developer also made some changes to timeouts for Broken Fang Premier matches. We’ve got you covered with the full CS:GO patch notes for 4th February.<\/p>\n

CS:GO Short-Handed income changes<\/h2>\n

With the RMR 2020 Sticker Capsule update<\/a> released on 28th January, Valve added a brand-new mechanic to CS:GO. <\/p>\n

It is called Short-Handed income. The mechanic only worked if a team had fewer players than their opponents for three or more consecutive rounds in a half, which then gave team members $1,000 each as Short-Handed Loser income following a round loss.<\/p>\n

With the CS:GO 4th February update, Valve has changed this mechanic slightly, giving the Short-Handed income after every round, regardless of it being a win or a loss for the team with fewer players.<\/p>\n

This bonus still does not apply when a player is kicked.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Broken Fang Premier timeout changes<\/h2>\n

With the previous CS:GO update, Valve implemented automatic timeouts when someone disconnected. <\/p>\n

To accommodate for these automatic Technical Pauses, the developer has now changed the number of Tactical Timeouts, testing it out in the Broken Fang Premier queue.<\/p>\n

Tactical Timeouts in the latest CS:GO update are now limited to two, one-minute affairs. This is a nice change from four, 30-second timeouts, which means matches should have fewer pauses overall where you just need to sit around counting chickens.<\/p>\n
