Left-Handed Mode Arrives in Counter-Strike 2
Armed with this new function, gamers can choose a left-handed configuration, which can then be applied permanently to their weapons in-match.Â
Not only does this add a visual aspect to it, but it also helps the character take the right firing stance, thus making it even easier for the gamers to believe your triumph on the battlefield.

Some players might prefer to peak from corners with a change of weapon position so that they can surprise enemies from the side and switch the battle flow in their favor.
With this knife, the switching animation is especially funny. By changing hands, the game characters smoothly transition the blade from one hand to the other thus imparting a sense of realism to the game.
Another unanswered question relates to the new update effect on reload animations. Will it be the left-handed players who enjoy the staunch sight of their character not reaching across to hit the release? Developers haven’t disclosed this fact yet, and they are allowing enthusiasts to figure it out on their own by revisiting Counter-Strike 2.
On the whole, it was a victory of inclusion for the hardcore player base and a giant step forward. So, in the company of your beloved weapon, set it on the left-hand side and enter into the world of Counter-Strike 2.
