One of PC gaming's most iconic guns just got nerfed

In the same way that I assume the sun will rise in the morning, CS:GO players load into matches assuming the AWP, the iconic sniper rifle that has broken hearts and wrought legends for the last 20 years, will be the same 1-shot-kill god gun it always has been. Well it still kind of is today, but the AWP just got seriously nerfed. I hope the sun is OK.

Specifically, the AWP's magazine size has been cut in half, from 10 to 5. Valve announced the news alongside the release ofthat also lowers the M4A1-S's effectiveness at range and removes Dust 2 from the current Active Duty map pool."The AWP has had its magazine size reduced to five bullets ," the post reads.

"Make them count" indeed—that's a full 50% reduction in ammo at the ready, and it's sure to have a big impact on how many players deploy this powerful $4,750 weapon. An AWP in the right hands can completely change the course of a match, and most pro teams field one or more designated AWPers. It's not uncommon for an experienced AWPer to chain together two, three, or four kills in a row, win the round, and use the very same AWP in the next round to do it again.

Magnum Sniper, huh? Been a long time coming and maybe tad bit too late,lol!

I think it’s crazier that Dust 2 isn’t in rotation 😂

SYACVG save my click, please?

'One of gaming's most iconic guns' Sure keep telling yourselves that. I feel like call of duty people don't understand that they're adjacent to the rest of the gaming industry. They're like the favelas whereas the rest of us are Rio De Janeiro proper

I'll be honest...been so into NERF Guns (the toy) lately that I thought this meant they were making a NERF AWP 😅

I mean not really that big of a nerf tbh

This will save a lot of lives in CS:GO, smaller magazines work. 😂

Oof I wonder if that also affects the AWP only community run servers since that's all I play on CSGO these days when I'm in the mood

5 shots, 1 for each enemy player.

oh darn. CS:go players will actually have to hide to reload.
