🚨VEHICLE UPDATE in CS2 🚨
That's not a joke! @ThourCS2 found it in data base.
🚨 CS2 LEAK - Vehicles Incoming? 🚨
New hitgroups found in ai_basenpc.fgd:
- Driver/Passenger seats and entry points
- Destructible doors, windows, headlights, taillights, wheels, hood and windshield
This was added in AnimGraph2 Beta Update. Is it Operation or a new mode? 🤔
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not a new “leak.” The files were added back in 2025, so they’re not recent. Based on context, they are more likely related to Half-Life X rather than CS2.

Is the era of “easy money” from Chinese collectors is over? 🇨🇳🚫
If the laws come into effect, they will have a significant impact on the market.
Will there be hopes for miracle pumps, or will growth now be slow and gradual? It's a matter of time.
I think this is an indication that portfolios need to be diversified.
Not just into different skins, but also into different games (S&BOX??)
Be prepared for anything.
🚨BREAKING: Gallery case supply decreased from 70k to 48k.
Supply is decreasing so fast.
I'll explain why this could increase to at least $5. 👇
1. Below are the overall case statistics.
What do we see?
The Gallery case is on par with the Riptide Operation, Shattered Web Crate, Wildfire Operation, Revolver Case, and Vanguard Case.
All of them have a total number of openings of around 26 million.
The prices of these cases start at $6.
All of these cases are limited, and (for obvious reasons) the Gallery case currently have the highest supply on SCM right now.
2. Based on the statistics, we can assume that the minimum price this case may reach in the future will be $5 for each decrease in its supply on SCM.
It is only a matter of time.
If you have any doubts because this case contains KUKRI, which many people don't like,
just take a look at the Wildfire case, which also includes the Bowie knife that many people don't like.
However, its price is now $6 for Wildfire, with the same number of opens as the Gallery case.
It is important to understand that any limited items, especially cases, will increase in value.
Either you understand this, or you will miss out on opportunities. And you still have this opportunity actually.
2/ The ultimate game-changer: Valve's blessing.
Facepunch founder @garrynewman just dropped massive news about their licensing deal with Valve.
Devs can now build games inside s&box and release them directly on Steam as standalone products - keeping 100% of the revenue.
This changes the entire indie scene.
3/ Why the S&BOX economy is basically a cheat code right now:
🔹 Player base is incredibly small (~3k active)
🔹 Cosmetics are strictly limited-time drops (once they are gone, they never return)
🔹 Zero market saturation (unlike CS2)
While 95% of Steam traders sleep on this, early birds are printing money.
I'm confident that we'll be getting an update related to the agents. The long-awaited update on their customization? Even in the update preview, Crasswater is wearing Hedge Maze...
Today we're shipping (or launching 🚀) a beta build that updates CS2's animation system to Animgraph 2. Learn more: store.steampowered.com/news/…
CS2 RELEASE NOTES: INTRODUCING THE ARMORY SHOP. 🔥
Update is live.
I want to get stars for watching an AD
VALVE just proved your $10,000 inventory is worth exactly $0. 📉
The CSFloat "stolen" skins drama is just the tip of the iceberg. If you don't understand the Steam Subscriber Agreement, you aren't an investor - you're a tenant.
Here is the brutal truth. 🧵
3. The Shutdown Risk. ⏳
If Valve ever decides to close Steam, they owe you nothing. Your "subscription" simply expires.
This is the price of playing in a centralized system. Treating digital assets like real-world property is a trader's first mistake.
