All the players will now get additional options to customize their crosshair. Players can go over to the settings menu, where they will get a variety of crosshair settings that players can choose from. An additional feature of importing or exporting your crosshair settings with others via a code has also been enabled.

The latest patch brought with it some visual changes but will not be impacting the gameplay in any way. The new ‘Patch Packs’ are similar to stickers which players apply to their weapons, similar to the stickers these patches can be removed as desired and new ones can be applied in its place.
The new agent character models introduced by Valve along with the release of Operation Shattered Web have been the center point of many recent CS:GO discussions by the community.
While some wanted an option to disable these features on the client-side, Valve does not meet the community eye-to-eye on this topic and have instead opted for map optimizations, and now further bolster their usage by giving players an option to customize them.
