CS:GO Arms Race – AMX Mod X Remake

A full-featured CS:GO Arms Race (Gun Game) remake for Counter-Strike 1.6, built for AMX Mod X.
Includes level-based weapon progression, knife-only final round, demotion mechanics, full bot support, and HUD feedback—faithful to the original CS:GO mode.

Core Gameplay

Final Level Victory

• The match can only be won with a knife kill on the final level.

• Firearms are completely disabled at this stage.

Knife Demotion Mechanic
