All items

Implementing a one-week trade and market hold on store-purchased items reduces short-term liquidity for new releases. This change aims to curb rapid market speculation on newly available items.

[STORE]
– Items purchased from the in-game store will not be tradable/marketable for one week.
– Operation Cases redeemed as an operation reward will not be tradable/marketable for one week.
– Items received from market-restricted containers will continue to be sellable immediately on the Steam Community Market.

[MISC]
– Fixed a rare visual bug with equipped item indicators when equipping a default item into a loadout slot.
– Various stability improvements.
