Pistols
Pistols are your go-to weapons in the early rounds when economy management is crucial. Understand the different types like Glock, USP-S, and P2000, each with unique characteristics. Learn when to invest in pistols, and focus on controlling their recoil patterns. Mastering pistols is essential for clutch rounds and eco rounds, making them a valuable part of your arsenal.
Submachine Guns (SMGs)
SMGs are your bread and butter in the early game due to their affordability. Weapons like the MP7 and UMP-45 offer mobility and rapid fire rates. Explore the roles these guns play and tactics for close-quarters combat. To maximize their effectiveness, focus on controlling their recoil, burst firing, and aiming for headshots.
Shotguns
Shotguns excel in close-quarters engagements and can catch opponents off guard. Understand the shotguns available in CS:GO, such as the Nova and Sawed-Off, and know when to use them. Their damage output is tremendous at close range, but you need to get in close for that to matter. Learn how to control their spread and improve your positioning and tactics when wielding these weapons.
Rifles
The backbone of any CS:GO team is the rifles. Assault rifles like the AK-47 and M4A4/M4A1-S are versatile and essential for medium to long-range engagements. Sniper rifles like the AWP can provide a game-changing advantage in the right hands. Knowing which rifle to buy and when is a key aspect of your in-game economy management. Familiarize yourself with their recoil patterns and practice spray control techniques to consistently land accurate shots.
Additional Tips
Game sense, map knowledge, and understanding your role within your team are equally important. Knowing when to push, hold, or rotate can make a significant difference in a match.
The in-game economy is crucial. Learn when to buy, when to save, and when to force buy to maximize your team’s economy advantage.
Don’t underestimate the power of grenades and utility. Smoke grenades, flashbangs, and molotovs can disrupt your opponents’ plans and provide strategic advantages.
