All CS2 Weapon Stats

Understanding weapon stats is crucial for mastering CS2. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, knowing each gun’s damage, accuracy, recoil patterns, and kill rewards can give you a competitive edge. 

In this article, we break down all the key stats for rifles, SMGs, pistols, snipers, and more. That will help you to choose the right weapon for every situation and dominate your matches.

Pistols

Pistols are the weapons with which every CS game begins. Knowledge of the basic pistols, the USP-S for CT and the Glock-18 for T, is fundamental. Sometimes the outcome of the first round determines the fate of the game. If you lose, your team is demoralized, and you lose round after round. If you win, it boosts morale.

Or, for example, the Deagle is a powerful weapon that can kill an opponent with a single bullet. It is as powerful as the AWP or AK-47. And it only costs $700. Therefore, pistols are the foundation that every CS player should be familiar with.

Shotguns

One of the most useless weapons in CS2, sorry, shotguns lovers. But it’s true. They’re very limited - you can use them only over a short range. Yes, each of them are powerful, can one-shot anybody, even with a kevlar. But on pro scene no one picks it, and it means a lot. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to learn more about these weapons.

If you decide to play with shotguns, XM-1014 might be your choice for CT. Despite being overpriced and the kill bonus is less, it’s the best weapon of this class right now. You can try MAG-7, another good option, but with less rapid fire.

SMGs

We’re back to another important weapon class - SMGs. After winning the pistol round, the best option to buy SMGs. They’re cheap, giving a good amount of money for kills, and have great rapid fire. Let’s take a look at them in more detail.

For many years now, the MAC-10 for T and the MP9 for CT have remained the main SMGs. They are truly effective, inexpensive, and very useful. Sometimes even more so than rifles. So feel free to buy them against pistols.

LMGs (Machineguns)

In terms of uselessness in the game, these machine guns are comparable to shotguns. Their advantage is that they produce more smoke, and you can make a couple of spectacular highlights. For example, an ace with a Negev. Otherwise, it's a waste of money.

Rifles

So, we've reached the main weapons in CS. My advice is to memorize this information as soon as possible. It will definitely come in handy in the game and help you win dozens of games.

Overall, all rifles for both sides are very useful and important. Galil and FAMAS will be great option after winning the pistol, or if you don’t have enough money for AK/M4. AK-47 and M4A4 with M4A1-S are based on full-buys. AUG and SG 553 are still quite situational weapons.

Sniper Rifles

The last one, but not the least, are sniper rifles. They are often overlooked, but they are very insidious. The Scout is a cunning weapon that is inexpensive but can have a big impact. You've probably heard of the AWP — if you're up against an experienced sniper, the game will be very difficult to win.

Last trick that I want to tell you at the end of this guide. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what gun you have in the round, skins are most important. Still don’t know where to find them for the best price? Check out Skin.Land. It’s the best market with a great variety of skins for affordable prices.
