The official update notes list three main changes to Inferno: 1. Graveyard was completely closed. 2. The A-site second-floor balcony was expanded. 3. The clipping around the small window connecting Mid to the second-floor balcony was adjusted. Figure 1. Kill heatmap Figure 2. CT/T-side statistics Figure 3. CT/T-side win probability chart The kill heatmap shows very few kills inside Graveyard for either side, while the stairs in front of it account for noticeably more. On that evidence, closing the interior while retaining the stairs can be read as a change aimed at a low-value space. Closing Graveyard should reduce the number of angles CTs need to process on an A-site retake. In the previous version, CTs returning through Arch or Library had to account for Site, Pit, upper and lower Apps, A1, and the deep Graveyard angle. In a 1vX clutch, that left very little time to check information safely. Even with a teammate pushing from A1, each CT still had to cover two or three positions, so an opponent peeking during a brief gap in coverage could decide the round. The closure removes one of the T side's hiding and crossfire options in post-plant situations. If CTs smoke Pit and Mini-pit during a retake, the removed Graveyard angle leaves that side easier to read. A CT entering from Arch can then focus on the positions around the bombsite. This may improve the retake conditions, but the change still needs post-update match data before its overall effect can be judged. The change also makes Pit a more isolated position. Graveyard and Pit previously formed a natural high-low crossfire. Now, anyone holding Pit, whether a CT early in the round or a T after the plant, has less support from a second angle. There is also one less angle for the Pit player to monitor: a CT in Pit no longer needs to account for fire from Graveyard and can pay more attention to A Apps and A1. The wider second-floor balcony should make an Apps rush easier to execute. Previously, the first T player had to jump over the railing to clear the right side of the balcony. The loss of accuracy during that jump put the attacker at a disadvantage against a CT holding the angle, so the entry player often chose an SMG or a similar weapon to compensate. Attackers coming from Apps were effectively choosing between weaker range and weaker accuracy. With the expanded balcony, a T can pre-aim with an AK and peek the CT on the left side without first committing to the old jump, reducing the previous accuracy disadvantage. The new shape also makes the jump to Porch harder. At lower ranks, that may reduce the number of positions players need to clear and make the balcony engagement more even. The clipping change around the small window is harder to assess from the update note alone. Without a before-and-after test of movement, grenades, and collision at the same positions, it is not possible to say whether it changes a route, a throw, or only the space available for holding the angle.
