== Premier CS Rating ==
Premier uses a numerical ELO-style rating with color tiers:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Color !! Rating Range
|-
| Gray || 1,000 - 4,999
|-
| Light Blue || 5,000 - 9,999
|-

|-
| Purple || 15,000 - 19,999
|-
| Pink || 20,000 - 24,999
|-
| Red || 25,000 - 29,999
|-
| Gold || 30,000+
|}

Premier is the main ranked mode where maps are vetoed. Each season resets and recalibrates ratings.

}}

The '''SCAR-20''' is a CT auto-sniper capable of rapid follow-up shots.

== Overview ==
The SCAR-20 is a semi-automatic sniper dealing 80 damage per shot. Its rapid fire rate makes it forgiving but at $5,000, it's a significant investment. Often called "the auto" and considered controversial in competitive play.

|side=Both
|price=$4,750

|type=Sniper Rifle
}}

The '''AWP''' (Arctic Warfare Police) is the most iconic sniper rifle in Counter-Strike. A single body shot kills any opponent, but it costs $4,750 and only rewards $100 per kill.

== Overview ==
The AWP is a bolt-action sniper rifle dealing 115 base damage — enough to one-shot kill to the chest, stomach, or head at any range. Only leg shots are non-lethal (but still deal ~85 damage). The scope provides two zoom levels.

== Strategy ==
* Hold angles and take the first shot — the bolt action leaves you vulnerable if you miss
* Pairs well with a pistol for close-range backup
* The $100 kill reward means you need kills just to sustain buying it
* Quick-scoping is viable but risky
* No-scoping is extremely inaccurate — only as a last resort
* The AWP is the most impactful single weapon in competitive CS2
* Teams typically run 1-2 AWPs maximum due to cost

EcoRound: Enhance SMGs category with rich description

'''Submachine guns''' (SMGs) in Counter-Strike 2 provide a middle ground between pistols and rifles. They excel in anti-eco rounds thanks to their '''$600 kill reward''' (double the rifle reward), making them excellent economy weapons.

== Available SMGs ==
* [[MAC-10]] (T, $1,050) — Cheap, fast, great for rushing
* [[MP9]] (CT, $1,250) — High fire rate CT option
* [[UMP-45]] ($1,200) — Decent armor penetration for its price
* [[MP7]] ($1,500) — Balanced all-rounder
* [[MP5-SD]] ($1,500) — Silenced alternative to MP7
* [[P90]] ($2,350) — 50-round magazine, lower kill reward ($300)
* [[PP-Bizon]] ($1,400) — 64-round magazine, low damage

== Strategy ==
Buy SMGs after winning the pistol round to maximize kill reward income while opponents are on eco.

Smoke Grenade

EcoRound: Create Smoke Grenade page

The '''Smoke Grenade''' costs $300 and creates a thick cloud of smoke that blocks vision for approximately 18 seconds.

== CS2 Changes ==
In Counter-Strike 2, smoke grenades are '''volumetric''' — they fill 3D space realistically, can be pushed by HE grenades, and bullets create temporary gaps. This is one of the biggest gameplay changes from CS:GO.

== Usage ==
* Block sightlines and choke points
* Execute onto bombsites by smoking off defender positions
* One-way smokes for defensive advantage
* Maximum carry: 1

|side=T
|price=$2,700

|type=Rifle
}}

The '''AK-47''' is the signature Terrorist rifle and one of the most iconic weapons in FPS history. It is the only rifle that can one-shot headshot a helmeted enemy.

== Overview ==
The AK-47 is a fully automatic assault rifle dealing 36 base damage. Its defining characteristic is the ability to kill with a single headshot against helmeted opponents, making it the most lethal rifle in the game for skilled aimers.

== Spray Pattern ==
The AK-47's spray pattern pulls sharply upward for the first 10 bullets, then sways left and right. Mastering this pattern is essential for competitive play.

== Strategy ==
* Tap or burst fire at long range for headshots
* Learn the full 30-round spray pattern for close engagements
* First bullet accuracy is excellent when standing still
* The most cost-effective rifle in the game at $2,700
* CTs will often pick up dropped AK-47s due to its one-tap potential

}}

The '''Desert Eagle''' (commonly called the '''Deagle''') is the most powerful pistol in CS2. It can one-shot headshot enemies at any range, even through helmets.

== Overview ==
The Desert Eagle is a semi-automatic heavy pistol dealing 63 base damage. A headshot against a helmeted opponent is lethal at close-to-medium range. Its high recoil and slow fire rate demand precise aim.

== Strategy ==
* Go for headshots — body shots require 3+ hits against armored opponents
* Wait for recoil to reset between shots
* Excellent eco-round weapon for its one-shot headshot potential
* Do not spam — accuracy drops dramatically with rapid fire
* Common force-buy choice due to its high skill ceiling
