A couple of weeks back, Valve announced its newest weapon for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive called the MP5-SD. However, since the MP5-SD is new to the game, the silenced SMG was released only for the game’s casual modes including Deathmatch, Casual matchmaking and even Workshop maps. Well, with the developers releasing a brand new CSGO update today, the MP5-SD is now available to use in the official competitive matchmaking mode.

New character models (FBI) and the revised Nuke and Inferno Collections are now part of the drop list for all. That and more in today’s Blog Post and Release Notes: https://t.co/MZKYmrOXkb pic.twitter.com/vzIrfIQPxv — CS:GO (@csgo_dev) October 4, 2018
