CS:GO ranks don’t matter in this new randomised game mode
CS:GO ranks are what we’re all fighting towards, signifying hard work, skill, and achievement, but a new, randomised game mode for Valve’s multiplayer shooter, just released on Steam, seems to undo all of that by challenging not so much your speed and aim as your ability to get lucky.
Available for free, Random Head Hitbox is a little more involved than it may initially sound. Basically, it changes two fundamental CS:GO rules.
