CS2 Season 5

The July 2026 CS2 update in one place: four new Armory collections with live prices, Cache back in Active Duty, five community maps and reworked bomb damage.

In the Armory now

Season 5's four collections joined the Armory rotation alongside the charm collections and the Fever Case. Check what each offer costs in Armory Credits and whether redeeming beats buying the skin outright.

Four new Armory collections

Bomb damage rework

When the bomb detonates, the blast now spreads from the bombsite through the map. Up close you still die, but the wave weakens around corners and doesn't pass through walls, so at a distance positioning decides whether you survive. Your health bar flashes a preview of the damage you'd take from where you stand.

Pick a spot on the map and see whether you'd survive the blast.

Cache is back in Active Duty for the first time since 2019, taking Overpass's slot. The pool is now Ancient, Anubis, Cache, Dust2, Inferno, Mirage and Nuke.
