Train receives minor update as rumors of Active Duty pool changes swirl
Train has had a sweep of collision fixes and prop updates followingits debut at the Shanghai Majorin the show match. A few stuck spots and gaps were closed up, as well as an update to wetness levels in areas of the map affected by rain.
It might not look like much but many have taken the updates to be evidence of Valve preparing to move the map into the Active Duty pool. At this time,Train can be played in competitive matchmakingbut not in Premier.
But with the professional scene wrapping up for the year, the time is now for Valve to make changes to the map pool before the season begins next year. Much of the community is foreseeing Vertigo getting dropped in favor of the Train remake, but we’ll know for sure when Valve actually promote the map.
Also included in today’s update were a few more bug fixes based around explosions affecting weapons, some quality-of-life adjustments to changing teams during warmup, and the addition of Map Guides for those developing maps on the Steam Workshop.
