Valve's Plans for Armory Pass: What's Changing?

Dataminer and insider Maxim 'Gabe_Follower' Poletayev recently shared some intriguing insights regarding the future of the Armory Pass in a video on YouTube. According to his reports, Valve is considering reintroducing missions similar to those seen in previous Operations, adding a new layer of excitement and challenge for players.

One of the key highlights discussed by Gabe_Follower is the upcoming expiration of the first exclusive item from the Armory Pass, the Desert Eagle | Heat Treated, set to happen on January 15. Speculations are rife that the developers will unveil a new exclusive item to take its place, along with the possibility of introducing a fresh collection, potentially featuring changes related to the addition of Train to the map pool. Additionally, Gabe_Follower mentioned that the anticipated retake mode has been delayed, raising curiosity among fans.

With the looming deadline for the first Armory Pass approaching, there is a sense of mystery surrounding what players can expect. While Valve has assured that they will continue to support the Armory Pass feature, stating that 'Armory Passes and stars do not have an expiration date,' players are eagerly awaiting official announcements regarding any content changes. Interestingly, there has been no indication yet regarding the replacement for the Desert Eagle exclusive item.
