Counter-Strike Player Pulls Off Once In A Lifetime Shot
A Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player managed to take five enemy players in a single shot.
A Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player just made history with a once-in-a-lifetime shot that saw him eliminate five opponents with a single bullet. Admittedly, competitive gaming is filled with moments such as this; unpredictable moments associated with games such as Counter-Strike, Fortnite, or Modern Warfare 2 are what keep gamers hooked. Hopefully, we’ll see plenty of this once Counter-Strike 2 drops—a sequel to Valve’s biggest game.
As reported by Kotaku, a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player pulled off a once-in-a-blue-moon shot. After a quick spring and a grenade toss, the player took out his sniper rifle and fired off a single shot. That shot went through five teammates of the opposite team—which is the whole team in CS:GO, earning the player an Ace achievement, which is only granted to those who manage to down five opponents during a single match and a single spawn, regardless of the ammo spent.
So, as you can imagine, it’s a pretty elusive achievement.
But managing that achievement in a single shot is next to impossible. The player responsible for the shot, who’s on their way to becoming a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive celebrity, even managed to capture it all on video. The player expressed their disbelief regarding the circumstances of the shot, stating that a shot of that kind has to be rare, and other Counter-Strike: Global Offensive enthusiasts quickly assured the shooter that the shot is, indeed, rare, followed by massive congratulations for a shot that’s unprecedented in the CS:GO’s 23-year-long history.
Of course, there are those who approached the shot skeptically, trying to deconstruct and thus diminish the awesomeness of this Ace short. Some theories online suggest that the shot wouldn’t be as lethal to all five opponents if the player hadn’t thrown a hand grenade previously. However, the feelings and facts don’t miss, and the fact is that the player got an Ace within a single shot—a truly historic gameplay moment in the history of gaming and first-person shooters.
Of course, other genres have their own one-shot moments.
The first that comes to mind actually has nothing to do with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. In 2005, a World of Warcraft player carried a Corrupted Blood disease from the Zul’Gurub dungeon outside. It uncontrollably spread across the entire server, causing chaos and killing all low-level players.
Blizzard actually had to implement the quarantine to stop the spread of the disease and prevent the kill count from tallying up.
Ever since Valve dropped the excellent news about Steam Deck, the company has been silent on the further development of the platforms. Valve did announce the Counter-Strike sequel, and there are some negotiations regarding Portal 3, but no other significant news is coming from the company other than the loss of support for Windows 7 and Windows 8. Those affected by Steam’s discontinued support for the legacy Windows OS won’t be able to access their entire game library or play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive despite the fact that the game would run perfectly fine on the aforementioned operating systems.
