A New Beginning Counter Strike 2 Hidden Achievement

With the release of CS2, many players came to realize that all their CS:GO achievements were gone. It took years for some players to unlock all those achievements, all gone in a moment. Nevertheless, Valve did not transfer all CS:GO achievements to CS2, yet. However, there’s a possibility they will do just that in the near future. Right now, all you could do is try to unlock the only achievement in CS2 as of July 2024. We’ll show you how to 

Are CS:GO Achievements Gone?

Unfortunately, yes. CS:GO is no longer displayed in your library, hence, there are no CS:GO achievements available. The disappearance of CS:GO achievements left many players devastated, as it would’ve taken so much time grinding to unlock all 167 CS:GO achievements. 

And what does it mean for the upcoming CS2 achievements? What if there’s a new iteration of Counter-Strike and Valve nuke those achievements too? This decision might make the process of unlocking achievements completely pointless. Perhaps, there was a way to include all the CS:GO achievements in some sort of legacy mode, but Valve’s decisions aren’t usually reverted that easily.

What is the CS2 Hidden Achievement?

CS2 currently offers a single achievement, instead of previously available 167. This achievement is called A New Beginning, and its description features a phrase “This is Counter-Strike, too”, a pun on the Counter-Strike 2 name. We think that this achievement is either like a symbol of the broad horizon with countless possibilities ahead, or just a mockery of the Counter-Strike playerbase. Either way, getting this achievement is actually pretty easy.

How to Get a New Beginning Achievement in CS2?

There’s no official guide on how to get this achievement, but the CS2 community has already cracked this case. In order to get a New Beginning Achievement, you have to start a match and get a multikill on your enemies, and the best part is that it can also be done against bots. Also, you can just load a Deathmatch and score a few multikills in a row, since it’s way faster to respawn instantly rather than waiting till the round ends. Some players speculate that you also have to complete the match you’ve got a multikill on. The achievement should pop up in your Library in the achievements section under your friends list. 

Since the achievement currently sits at the 23.5%, it seems like not many players bother with it or just outright never played CS2 since the release. It is worth mentioning that you may not get this achievement right away, as it takes a random amount of time for a New Beginning Achievement to pop up in one’s Library.
