Dataminer: Chicken skins may be added to CS2

According to unofficial sources, the developers of Counter-Strike 2 may introduce pets with various skins in one of the upcoming updates. 

The data miner has already tested this new feature in CS2, and currently, five variations of chickens in different colours can be viewed in the client. Notably, the descriptions of the pets have already been translated into Russian. According to the creator, the developers might eventually "teach" the chickens to blink and move their pupils.

References to pets were first discovered by data miners in the code of Counter-Strike 2 back in early 2023. A few months ago, animations for inspecting chickens were added to the game, yet the developers have not made any official announcements regarding this feature. The exact timing of its release in CS2 remains unknown.

Previously, data miner Thour compared the current performance of Counter-Strike 2 with metrics from September of last year.
