This csgo negev video will cover the csgo negev update that happened in April 2017 and quickly turned into a csgo negev meme. It won’t focus solely on csgo negev only though – it will also touch upon the R8 Revolver.
Back in 2017, the CS:GO community was struck by multiple csgo updates. Some of the csgo updates re-introduced certain maps to Active Duty and replaced popular maps, others announced operations.
Not all updates were noticed by the community – some were bigger while some of them were small and relatively inconsequential,
however, for better or for worse, there were some small csgo updates that have left a bigger mark.
One of the csgo updates concerned the csgo negev update.
The CS:GO Negev came back into the game on April 12th, 2017, together with the so-called CS:GO Volver update.
This csgo negev update has reduced the price of the R8 Revolver to $700, and reduced the price of the Negev to $2000.
In other words, after the csgo Negev update, the csgo negev has had a $3700 price reduction “to promote experimentation with the weapon.”
Afterwards, all hell broke loose. Well, not quite – but the csgo update was significant enough to make the community laugh and make them use and abuse the csgo Negev from the second round up until the game finished.
One of the main reasons for the abuse of the CSGO Negev Update was related to the fact that after you would shoot 10 bullets, the Negev would shoot in a straight line like a laser. Because of that, this csgo negev update was pretty fun for those smurfing as well as those in higher ranks alike.
Higher ranks weren’t affected that much though because people on them were actually trying to win, but in lower, so-called “troll-ish” ranks like silver and gold nova, this csgo negev meme update was very beneficial for those smurfing. For a while, that is.
I believe some people were even pretty mad about the fact that Valve isn’t trying the csgo negev update things out in the Beta client, but rolls out this update for everyone to try instead. It wasn’t THAT bad, but it kind of broke matchmaking in lower ranks for a while. It was fun, though.
This csgo negev meme update also touched upon the R8 revolver, but briefly – the gun was still broken, it’s just that its price was reduced to $700 after the csgo update.
The funniest thing is that I don’t know if they’ve changed the functioality of the Negev that much afterwards, but appearantly, Valve has thought it’d be a great idea if the price of the Negev in CS2 would be further reduced to $1700.
That’s it for today’s short throwback, please subscribe to see more videos similar to the csgo negev laser gun, and until next time.
