Wingman is an event game mode added to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in Operation Hydra, as a part of the May 23, 2017 update, as one of the three Hydra Events, alongside War Games and Weapons Expert. After November 13, 2017, the game mode became permanent, along with the new match matching algorithm called "Trust Factor."

In this mode, maps are smaller and more compact, and there are only 2 players on one team. Other rules are similar to Competitive. Additionally, the game mode uses same penalties like the competitive game mode.

Overview[]

The Wingman game mode consists of 2 versus 2 competitive matches on maps with one bombsite, a best-of-16 game format, and a special Wingman skill group. The rules are similar to competitive, but the game mode takes place in "compact" maps with only one bombsite. Compared to original maps, Wingman versions are smaller with most of the map cut off with invisible walls, and the spawns are moved much closer to the bombsite. The round timer is 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Unlike Competitive, match is not available to in "Watch matches and tournaments" from main menu. To download match replay must visit Personal Game Data and in "Wingman Matches" and click "Download GOTV Replay".
