When you’re in the thick of a match in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), the right weapon choice can turn the tide of the game. To help you make the best decision for every situation, I’m breaking down the stats of every weapon type—pistols, SMGs, rifles, shotguns, LMGs, and snipers. Let’s jump right into CS2 weapon stats, shall we?
Pistols
Pistols are often the fallback when your economy is tight, but they can still pack a punch if you know their stats.
Pistol | Price | Kill | DMG | Armor Ignore | HS Multi | RPM | Recoil | Fatal HS Range |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Desert Eagle | $700 | $300 | 53 | 93.20% | 3.9x | 266.67 | 48.2 | 2,017m |
R8 Revolver | $600 | $300 | 86 | 93.20% | 4x | 120 | 20 | 9,414m |
Dual Berettas | $300 | $300 | 38 | 57.50% | 4x | 500 | 27 | 888m |
Five-SeveN | $500 | $300 | 32 | 91.15% | 4x | 400 | 25 | 366m |
Glock-18 | $200 | $300 | 30 | 47.00% | 4x | 400 | 18 | 561m |
I typically rely on the Desert Eagle for its high damage, but if I’m looking for something rapid, the Dual Berettas or Glock-18 work wonders, especially in close-range fights.
Shotguns

Shotguns are all about devastating close-range damage. Their stats focus on burst damage, but they have significant falloff at range.
Shotgun | Price | Kill | DMG | ARMOR IGNORE | HS Multi | RPM | Recoil | Fatal HS Range |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mag-7 | $1,300 | $900 | 30 | 75.00% | 4x | 70.59 | 165 | 114m |
Nova | $1,050 | $900 | 26 | 50.00% | 4x | 68.18 | 143 | 55m |
Sawed-Off | $1,100 | $900 | 32 | 75.00% | 4x | 70.59 | 154 | 155m |
XM1014 | $2,000 | $600 | 20 | 80.00% | 4x | 171.43 | 80 | N/A |
For close-quarters maps, I grab the Mag-7—its high armor penetration and kill reward make it a solid eco choice.
SMGs

SMGs excel in mobility, making them perfect for eco rounds or rushing sites. Their damage and recoil may not match rifles, but their rapid fire rate compensates.
SMG | Price | Kill | DMG | ARMOR IGNORE | HS Multi | RPM | Recoil | Fatal HS Range |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PP-Bizon | $1,400 | $600 | 27 | 63.00% | 4x | 750 | 18 | 172m |
MAC-10 | $1,050 | $600 | 29 | 57.50% | 4x | 800 | 18 | 333m |
MP7 | $1,500 | $600 | 29 | 62.50% | 4x | 750 | 16 | 457m |
MP9 | $1,250 | $600 | 26 | 60.00% | 4x | 857.14 | 19 | 141m |
When I’m rushing a site, I go for the MP7 or MAC-10. Based on their CS2 weapon stats, they have decent armor penetration, and their fire rates make them devastating in close combat.
Rifles

Rifles are the backbone of your loadout. Their balance of damage, fire rate, and accuracy makes them the go-to for most rounds.
Rifle | Price | Kill | DMG | ARMOR IGNORE | HS Multi | RPM | Recoil | Fatal HS Range |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AK-47 | $2,700 | $300 | 36 | 77.50% | 4x | 600 | 30 | 9,024m |
AUG | $3,300 | $300 | 28 | 90.00% | 4x | 600 | 24 | 2,805m |
FAMAS | $2,050 | $300 | 30 | 70.00% | 4x | 666.67 | 20 | 2,233m |
M4A4 | $3,000 | $300 | 33 | 70.00% | 4x | 666.67 | 23 | 4,557m |
The AK-47 is a no-brainer for me on T-side. It has fantastic damage, decent recoil, and an impressive headshot range. On the CT side, the M4A4 is my go-to for holding choke points.
Sniper Rifles

Sniper rifles are your best bet for long-range dominance. Their stats focus on damage and accuracy, making them critical for holding angles or securing picks.
Sniper | Price | Kill | DMG | ARMOR IGNORE | HS Multi | RPM | Recoil | Fatal HS Range |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AWP | $4,750 | $100 | 115 | 97.50% | 4x | 41.24 | 78 | 74,661m |
SSG 08 | $1,700 | $300 | 88 | 85.00% | 4x | 48 | 33 | 27,124m |
If I’m holding a long sightline, the AWP is a must. It’s unmatched in damage and penetration, making it the deadliest weapon in CS2. However, the SSG 08 (Scout) is a solid budget option, especially for mobility and quick picks.
LMGs

LMGs are situational but offer a massive magazine and high damage output. They’re perfect for suppressive fire.
LMG | Price | Kill | DMG | ARMOR IGNORE | HS Multi | RPM | Recoil | Fatal HS Range |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
M249 | $5,200 | $300 | 32 | 80.00% | 4x | 750 | 25 | 4,052m |
Negev | $1,700 | $300 | 35 | 71.00% | 4x | 800 | 20 | 5,523m |
The Negev is surprisingly powerful for its price, making it a good choice for defensive plays when you need to control a choke point with continuous fire.
