9 Good CS2 Inferno Map Variations You Can Add to Counter-Strike 2

Inferno is among the oldest Counter-Strike maps, introduced in 2001, and remains a part of CS2. Thus, players have been fighting it out along the cobbled streets of this European village map for decades. The CS2 Inferno map has enduring popularity with Counter-Strike fans, probably because of its structure and design.

So, it’s little wonder some players have released numerous CS2 Inferno map variations on the Counter-Strike workshop, which we can download to add to the game. The community-generated Inferno maps are tweaked variations that incorporate structural and visual design modifications. These are some of the more highly rated CS2 Inferno map variations that you can add to Counter-Strike 2 from the workshop.

Rainy Inferno

Rainy Inferno is, as the map’s title suggests, a rain-soaked CS2 Inferno map variation. This is a map that includes a rainy weather effect, which the map’s author insists has no impact on FPS (the game’s frame rate). Although not quite a night map, Rainy Inferno also features drastically modified lighting conditions with its grey clouds and limited sunshine. It includes street lighting to light up the map without sunshine.

Inferno Night

Inferno Night is a variation of CS2 Inferno set at night. It is a beautifully illuminated map packed full of a wide variety of street lighting that provides decent visibility in the darkness of the night. If you look up at the sky on this map, you’ll see a full moon that further illuminates the map below it. The cinematic tour video below shows you what the Inferno Night map looks like.

Inferno Minecraft

Are you a Minecraft and Counter-Strike 2 fanatic? If so, Inferno Minecraft could be an ideal map for you. This map variation is designed to look like Inferno built in the Minecraft game. It features a chunky Minecraft block design that gives it a unique new look. This redesign doesn’t alter the gameplay, but Inferno looks very different with the Minecraft aesthetic applied to this CS2 community map.

Inferno Mirror

The Inferno Mirror map is a redesigned variation that swaps the left and right sides around on Inferno for a new gameplay experience. This effectively means everything is opposite where it usually is on this CS2 Interno map variation. For example, terrorists must head in a rightward direction rather than leftward to reach the B bomb site. Thus, the structure of the map is somewhat different from that of Inferno Mirror.

Movement Inferno

If you would prefer to play a completely different gun-free gameplay mode, check out this Movement Inferno map. This map turns Inferno into a movement assault course for players to navigate. It includes purple crates and barrels that players must jump on to make it through the Inferno course. Completing this Inferno movement course can be tricky, and the map includes a timer to record your completion times.

De_inferno 45

De_inferno 45 adds a 45° angle twist to the Inferno map. This angle twist feels a little odd at first and has a noticeable impact on the gameplay. The angle change enables you to walk partway up tilted walls. This makes it possible to get on some rooftops, from where you can shoot down at enemies beneath you. So, try making the most of the elevation advantages you can gain when playing on this twisted 45° variation of Interno.

De_inferno [CS 1.6]

Counter-Strike 1.6 was the original CS game that included the Inferno map. However, the Inferno map in CS 1.6 was somewhat different from the one we know and love today. De_inferno [CS 1.6] is the CS 1.6 Inferno map restored for you to play in Counter-Strike 2. Entering this map is like stepping into a Counter-Strike time machine that enables you to see and play the original Inferno. The original Inferno has a similar basic layout but looks very different in terms of graphical detail and style.

De_inferno_go

If you prefer Inferno from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, you can restore it by adding De_inferno_go to CS2. This is the final iteration of Inferno from CSGO of 2022. The main difference between this CS2 Inferno map variation and the current one lies in its graphical details, which the video below shows. De_inferno_go also includes more chickens than the current Inferno map.

Inferno Source CS2

Inferno Source is a ported version of the Inferno map from Counter-Strike: Source. This CS2 Inferno map from Valve’s 2004 Counter-Strike game has a somewhat different look and feel than the current one. When playing as the terrorists, you’ll notice the start position isn’t sheltered and includes actual bells. Plus, this map has a unique graphical style and includes flora and background sound effects that aren’t in Counter-Strike 2’s Inferno map.
