Old Favorites, New Toys
Every match features a set of pistols, rifles, SMGs and heavy weapons from CS:GO's classic arsenal.
Resources are scarce; commit to your first weapons, or plan ahead for something with more firepower. Every bullet counts.
Get creative with breach charges, plant-anywhere C4, throwable melee weapons, and more.
A boost from your Medi-Shot helps you recover quickly and get back in the fight. Manage your health wisely to win.
Administering a health shot will give a temporary speed boost, which can come in handy while evading an attacker.

Play Danger Zone solo, or grab a friend (or two) then hunt or be hunted as a team.
We're just getting started, and we'll continue to update Danger Zone using community feedback.
