While AAA titles and games with a narrative are popular, nothing can replace the idea of a good old first-person PvP shooter. Whether you are a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or a Valorant fan, the genre is one of the most popular among gamers. Fans of both CS:GO and Valorant always remain engaged in a debate: which game is better and who copied the other? There is a new twist in the entire matter.

With the release of the Neo Frontier Skin for the Sheriff in Valorant, CS:GO fans fumed. They believe the inspect animation for the weapon is exactly like the inspect animation for CS:GO’s Deagle.

Did Valorant take CS:GO’s Deagle animation?

Valorant has taken inspecting guns in-game to a new level. With each new skin, there is an inspect animation accompanying it. As per usual, when Valorant released the Neo Frontier Skin, videos of its inspect animation began making rounds on social media. It looked oddly similar to the Deagle animation from CS:GO.

Once CS:GO fans saw the animation, they were angry, mentioning that it was a copy of the Deagle animation. Here is the animation for the new sheriff skin.

It does look quite similar to the rare inspect animation for CS:GO. Fans seemed quite shocked after seeing this in Valorant, calling out Riot Games for “copying” the Deagle from CS:GO. The entire argument of Valorant copying CS:GO has been around ever since the former’s reveal back in 2020. The basic idea of Valorant does borrow from CS:GO, but adds its twists in the form of agents and abilities.

While most CS:GO fans were outraged about the animation, some even commented the entire game was a copy. These comments were especially common during Valorant’s early days. They continue today amidst the release of this new skin.

Whether it is a simple copy or just a random coincidence, CS:GO fans were quite unhappy with the entire matter. Some Valorant fans argued CS2 used Valorant’s system of buy menu, where players could sell their guns. Additionally, they argued the new menu system in CS2 looks very similar to Valorant’s buy menu.
