CSGO update and patch notes: Improved weapon pickup, fixed sv_pure and grenades

Counter Strike: Global Offensive has released a new game patch on May 11, to fans' delight. Valve Corporation unveiled the patch which includes a number of gameplay improvements and several adjustments to some of the oldest issues in CSGO.

Grenade use key issue fixed with latest CSGO update  

The developers have also fixed a widespread issue in the game that has plagued players for a long time now. A player used to drop their weapon and the grenade after getting killed. And since both the weapons were dropped at once, they were at a fairly close distance or up against the dropped weapon. This was one of the issues that have been affecting players as the grenade's geometry often used to get in the way every time a player tried to pick up the dropped weapon. Developers have now fixed this issue.
