Here are the patch notes for CS:GO’s Dec. 17 update

Counter-Strike’s Dec. 17 patch features adjustments to Operation Broken Fang, along with various quality of life changes and updates to some of the game’s least popular maps: Guard, Elysion, Apollo, and Anubis.

The patch, which hit the live servers last night, also includes a new feature that gives players the option to donate weapons, saving valuable time and effort in the buy phase. Pressing the buy menu donation key (CTRL by default) when purchasing a weapon will send it straight to a teammate.

Here are the patch notes for the latest CS:GO update.
