Patch 2.2.4 — Your loadout finally sticks

VertalStrike · published 4 Jul 2026, 06:30 UTC · build 24050039

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Loadout

  • Fixed the long-standing bug where the weapon you equipped in the lobby could silently revert to your class default in a match. Loadout picks are now stored under a stable player identity and are never wiped by temporary validation states.
  • The shop and the inventory now only offer weapons that can actually be carried into a match.

Scoreboard & HUD

  • The Tab scoreboard got a full redesign: a frosted-glass panel that blurs the world behind it, sizes itself to the player count, and no longer paints a huge black box over the action.
  • Player nameplates no longer bleed through the scoreboard.
  • The timer capsule and the kills/health/ammo chips hide while the scoreboard is open — its header already shows mode, time and team score.

It used to show the Frag grenade as the only row, which also hid Hatchet, Cleaver and Karambit after you unlocked them. In-match · The top-right chip now shows KILLS / DEATHS / HEADSHOTS, and its captions — like HEALTH, AMMO and RESERVE — are translated in all 9 languages. · Bot nameplates no longer draw across the pause…
