Valve rolls out changes to Inferno Balcony, Graveyard in March 4th CS2 Update

Valve have removed a fan-favorite spot on Inferno.

Valve have released a small update today bringing a few changes to the game, chief among them being a number of changes to Inferno. These changes see Balcony on the A Site extended, the graveyard on the A Site closed off, and a small clipping change being made to prevent a boost into Apartments. Valve's vision with these changes are seemingly to retakes a bit easier on A by removing the powerful Graveyard position while Balcony is a spot they have been playing around a lot with over the past year.

This update also brings some scripting changes, community market and genesis terminal updates, and an updated animation for chickens.

The most notable changes from the Patch Notes are:

Misc.

  • Starting today, items listed for sale on Steam Community Market will remain in your inventory for use while they are listed (e.g., your weapon can be equipped in your loadout while it is listed). While listed, items cannot be consumed or modified. You can cancel your listings at any time.

  • Added ability to set your max offer limit for items in the Terminal, and the Arms Dealer will only show offers up to that limit.

  • Fixed a slight tilt in the chicken running animation.

Maps (Inferno)

  • Balcony at Bombsite A has been extended.

  • Graveyard at Bombsite A has been closed to the public.

  • Clipping adjusted at small window next to Second Mid Balcony.

Closing Graveyard and extending the A balcony will probably change a lot of the common utility people use for A site takes and retakes. A lot of Inferno lineups were built around that position existing.

Whenever Valve tweaks parts of a map like this it usually means some smokes or molotovs need to be relearned. I’ve been using a small lineup tool recently to keep track of utility setups and share them with teammates during practice.

Curious if anyone has already found new smokes or flashes for the updated A site.
