Fans Made a Counter-Strike 2 Map About Rescuing GTA 6’s Leaker
It’s no surprise that GTA 6 leaks spread like wildfire, and one of the most prominent leakers, Cyberleek, is always finding themselves in hot water. However, they’ve also developed quite the fanbase through their work. So much so that a group of Counter-Strike 2 players created a custom map inspired by them, which has already racked up over 46K subscribers in just one week!
The Vice Heist
The popular Vice Heist map on CS2 has been catching on like wildfire ever since Steam Workshop users lmtlss and leander uploaded it on October 17. The map reportedly attracted tens of thousands of subscribers in just a week, with a consistent player base sticking around afterward. That’s a pretty impressive achievement for a custom Counter-Strike 2 map!
The premise is simple: The Vice Heist is a hostage-rescue map that parodies a Vice City luxury estate. Everything from the neon sunset to the palm trees screams GTA, and the objective is to “Save Cyberleek from the Rockstar mansion!”
Who is Cyberleek?
If you don’t know who Cyberleek is, they’re an anonymous and somewhat infamous GTA leaker (or possibly a group) who has shared plenty of GTA 6 material since August of this year.
They’ve dropped several hints and smaller details along the way, but their biggest release came in October with a roughly 25-minute video titled “Extended Leek.” Throughout this time, Cyberleek has also pushed several things as part of a protest against digital-only releases, demanding that Rockstar and Take-Two bring back physical copies of their games.
And it’s clearly resonating with players, especially when even those willing to spend $400 on a collector’s edition don’t actually get a physical copy of the game. Since then, Cyberleek has also tied their leaks to their own cryptocurrency, setting an ultimatum and promising to release a playable build if the token reaches a market cap of roughly $30 million.
The map also takes inspiration from Take-Two’s ongoing attempts to uncover Cyberleek’s identity. The company has reportedly issued subpoenas targeting Microsoft, Discord, Google, and X in an effort to unmask the leaker.
Overall, it’s easy to see why The Vice Heist has caught the attention of so many players. Between the GTA 6 hype, Cyberleek’s growing notoriety, and the map’s rather amusing premise, it’s a pretty unique community project. As we get closer to GTA 6’s launch, who knows what other leaks, creations, and community projects we’ll see?
