CS2 Weapon Stats

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.
