Yes it does.
1. Open up your console by pressing the ` key
2. Type in the following command: `cl_blood 1`
3. Press enter

I believe that doesn't actually work in CSGO (possibly it works in local servers against bots, but not in multiplayer where people actually want to play).
Hence people making workarounds such as changing movement keys to both move and to execute the command that hides any already created blood (and bullets):

There are sites where you can purchase and download different world regions CD keys. I'd first remove CS:GO from your library completely (steam offers a way to do this) then activate the German version of the game. There is built in censoring for death/blood/corpse ragdolls afaik.

Maybe try Valorant which is a "cartooned modern take" on the CS model.

Valorant has an option to disable corpses, replacing them with little tokens on the ground that mark the spot of their demise. I think there's also an option to tone down blood effects, etc.

There used to be a low violence mode where players didn't die, they surrendered.

Apex Legends might be just what you are looking for — basically zero gore, extremely tactical gameplay with incredible team dynamics on good days.

Valorant is far more sanitized in this regard and very “candy”-ish in its gameplay. I suspect the skins, female characters, and this candy-ness are why so many women I know play it. Personally, I think it’s super cute!

>directional blood impacts (that fade over time) give you more information as you move through the world
I guess these blood splatters will indicate damage. That can be a great gameplay mechanic if I can gauge how much health a person has remaining who I have just shot. And who probably ran away.
I can plan my strategy accordingly.
My interest has been continually been drawn to team-based first-person shooter games (like Counter Strike) for their potential in terms of strategy, tactics and team coordination, but the gore is enough to put me off most titles immediately. I can see that some effects like blood stains can form part of the games' mechanics, indicating the direction from which a shot came, but what if one simply does not want to see these graphics? CS:GO doesn't even have an setting to disable them, and this is not unusual in the genre - I hope this sequel adds such an option.
