Retakes Becomes an Official Game Mode, and Five Covert Skins Can Be Traded for a Knife

Retakes is now an official game mode on Defusal Group Alpha and Delta maps. A new trade-in system lets players exchange five StatTrak Covert items for a StatTrak Knife, or five regular Covert items for a regular Knife or Gloves, all from one collection. Inferno's top of Quad and area under Balcony were adjusted for visibility, and a bug where multiple active smokes broke Molotov interactions has been fixed.
