CS:GO Operation Shattered Web | New changes and highlights
The Operation Shattered Web update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive introduces the game’s very first battle pass-type system. In this instance called an Operation Pass, Shattered Web brings all manner of unlockable goodies into CS:GO. Like with similar battle passes in other games, players will work through different challenge cards. Stars are rewarded for each challenge completed, and stars in turn offer up new rewards for the player, including graffiti sprays, stickers, weapon cases, and weapons from the new Norse, St. Marc, Canals, and Shattered Web collections.

Among the in-game changes are the new Shattered Web Agents, which are unlockable character skins that can be used across any game mode. These Agents coincide nicely with the newly reworked end-of-match accolades, which showcase player skills based around the outcome of the match.
The the Operation Shattered Web update also introduces a fair amount of tweaks and game changes otherwise. Players will note that the buy cost for the SG553 has been increased to $3000, while the FAMAS and Galil have had price cuts down to $2050 and $1800 respectively. The Galil and FAMAS have also had their spray accuracy during full-auto fire increased.

Workshop:
- Pearlescent coatings:
- We have added support for applying a pearlescent coating to weapon finishes. Pearlescent coatings use ceramic crystals to reflect and refract light, splitting it into different colors as the view angle changes. This effect can be used in a number of ways to subtly enhance your weapon finish or make drastic changes. The new Operation Shattered Web collections have some weapons with pearlescent coatings to illustrate some of the ways this new feature can be used. The Workshop Workbench has been updated to include this feature so you can experiment with adding this coating to a weapon finish. Using higher values will make the color bands tighter and more frequent and using negative values will flip the spectrum to start on the opposite end. It should be noted that this coating will shift the hue of your weapon finish so parts with no saturation, and therefore no hue, will have no pearlescent effect. We look forward to seeing what interesting applications you come up with.
