Many players are eagerly awaiting the return of the Danger Zone mode in CS2. The main question seems not to be what this mode will look like, but when Danger Zone will be added to the game. At this point, we only have an approximate date, as obviously, the developers are not reporting to us.
So, let’s reason logically, based on facts. The developers released the Arms Race mode after a significant period of time following the release. Before this, in September, Valve removed mentions of Danger Zone and Arms Race from the CS2 code. This suggests that development is happening simultaneously, but since the former requires more time, it is evident that it will be released a bit later.
Another fact indicating that the Danger Zone development is already underway is the change in the structure of weapon scripts. The developers changed them not only for the weapons currently available but also for those that exist only in Danger Zone, namely the WH grenade, shield, fists, and other attributes of this mode. This means that work is ongoing, and we should expect an update with the mode after the major in Copenhagen concludes.
