Valve Nerfing Pistols On CS:GO

In the new beta update for Valve’s wildly popular Counter Strike: Global Offensive, pistols will be getting nerfed with the first weapon being the Tec-9.

This nerf to the weapon will see improved first shot accuracy, reduced rapid fire accuracy, and reduced magazine and reserve ammo capacity. The magazine amounts are changing from 24 to 18, while the total reserve is changing from 120 to 90.

Valve said this is being done to “emphasize aiming while retaining the weapon’s high mobility,”
