Weapons in Counter-Strike 2 are divided into pistols, rifles, SMGs, shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, and grenades. Each weapon has unique stats including damage, fire rate, armor penetration, and movement speed. Understanding weapon economics — balancing cost against effectiveness — is a core skill in competitive CS2.
