CS2 players report an increase in FPS by adjusting weapon models

A Reddit user has sparked a heated debate by claiming that the first-person weapon models in Counter-Strike 2 are poorly optimized, resulting in significant FPS fluctuations.

The user claims that simply swinging a knife increases FPS by 7%, while removing the first-person weapon models entirely reportedly results in a 17% increase in FPS.

In a detailed post, the user talked about different scenarios and their impact on FPS. When the view model is minimized to show only a small portion of the weapon, FPS is claimed to increase by about 5%.

Many have shared their own experiences, noting similar FPS increases with various in-game actions and settings.

The developers have not yet responded to these claims in any way. However, if these optimization issues are confirmed, it could lead to significant controversy among players.
