As you are well aware, a bomb inflicts damage on a specific field of fire when it explodes. In CS2, both of these parameters (damage and range) are set to increase, which could dramatically affect gameplay and the metagame.

As you can see for yourself, this seemingly inconspicuous change can have a major impact on strategies. Planning your economy for future rounds can be much more difficult when you are less likely to save your gear after an explosion.
