It is now time to get to working towards the Season Four Medal. As with each season, the color of the medal is based on the highest CS Rating that you achieved during the period the season was active for. While the bars mirror the total amount of wins you had, with a new bar being added for each batch fo 25 wins, to a maximum of 5.

Map Changes

The first change for Season Four is the return of Anubis, alongside a number of gameplay adjustments for it. For the full details of what has changed, scroll down and view the Full Patch Notes.

It isn’t just Anubis when it come sot map changes, we will also get a new set of community maps. Three new maps will be joining the Competitive, Casual, and Deathmatch modes; Stronghold, Alpine, and Warren. Alongside those Poseidon and Sanctum will be available in the Wingman mode.

Weapon Collections

It isn’t just maps that are new for the season, there is also two new weapon collections; Harlequin and Achroma. Both of these will be a part of your weekly care package.

The Harlequin Collection is headlined by the ‘Party Animal’ M4A1-S that pops with shades of purple and blue that remind one of the Neon Rider or Desolate Space patterns.

On the other side of the coin, The Achroma Collection is entirely black and white. Showcase patterns and geometric bursts inside of pops of color. The rarest fo which being an AWP skin called’ The End’ featuring street graffiti.
