The CS grenade is a gas grenade cut from Counter-Strike.
Overview
The only hints of its possible presence in the game, are 2 HUD icons and a kill icon representing it.
Damage
The CS grenade would release a cloud of gas that would damage anyone that passes through it. The effects could also stay for a couple seconds out of the gas.
Immunity
The only way a player would gain immunity to the gas produced by the CS grenade was to buy the cut Gas mask.
Comparison to the Molotov cocktail
Although both grenades have similar effects, the Molotov cocktail also has a counter-equipment, being the Smoke Grenade which extinguishes the fire. The damage done is almost the same, in comparison to the CS Grenade. However, the CS grenade would also have a passive counter item, the Gas mask. This would negate the effects of the CS grenade permanently, instead of being a one use counter item.
