Cache is back in CS2. Valve’s April 28 update returned the classic three-lane map, and for now it is available in Casual, Competitive, Deathmatch, and Retakes modes.

Valve pitches it the same way veterans remember it: familiar locations for returning players, and a layout that rewards strategy and teamplay for new ones. The announcement even keeps the tradition alive with a “don’t forget to clear Forklift” nod.

The full patch notes from the same update also include:

  • Dust II: the Mid Box (Xbox) jump spot was uncovered, “on purpose this time.”
  • Office: collision enabled on the tarp on boxes around CT spawn.
  • Stronghold and Poseidon: updated to their latest Community Workshop versions.
  • Animgraph 2: Talon and Karambit knives are now held correctly while defusing, plus minor viewmodel animation adjustments.

Skins from the map’s original collection are listed in our Cache Collection catalog, and the animation fixes touch the Talon and Karambit; browse both models in the CS2 knives catalog.
