CS2: How to play the Gun Game mode – Tips and tricks
In Counter Strike 2 Gun Game (or Arms Race) is not a featured mode at launch for reasons unknown. If you’re a veteran of the shooter, this may leave you with a bad taste because it was a fun mode to play. Many fans of Counter Strike have taken to Reddit to complain about this omission, and in this case, it does seem to be justified. On top of that, it looks like many maps that have been leaked are missing as well. So for the moment, Gun Game isn’t available, but it could play the same way when it returns. When the mode does drop, we will have a full guide on how to play Gun Game.

Will Gun Game make an appearance?
If I were a betting man, I’d assume Valve will slowly push out more content as time goes on. Because many of the aforementioned maps that are leaked are maps for Gun Game. So, while the mode isn’t present at launch, you can safely assume it’ll appear down the line. Currently, Valve is dealing with the many issues plaguing CS2. So it may be a while until we see the mode in the sequel. For now, you’ll just have to make do with what’s there.
