{{DISPLAYTITLE:Arms Race}}
'''Arms Race''' is a fast-paced, free-for-all game mode in [[Counter-Strike 2]] where players progress through a sequence of weapons by getting kills. The first player to get a kill with every weapon in the rotation wins.

== Overview ==
Arms Race (formerly known as Gun Game in community servers) is a casual, high-action mode that cycles players through the entire CS2 weapon arsenal. Each kill advances the player to the next weapon in the sequence. The weapons typically progress from powerful rifles to weaker pistols, ending with the [[Knife]] as the final weapon. The first player to complete the full weapon cycle wins the match.

== How It Works ==
# All players start with the same weapon
# Getting a kill advances you to the next weapon in the sequence
# The weapon sequence generally goes from powerful to weak:
#* Assault Rifles and Snipers (early)
#* SMGs and Shotguns (middle)
#* Pistols (late)
#* [[Knife]] (final weapon)
# The first player to get a knife kill wins the match
# Getting killed by a knife '''demotes''' you back one weapon level

== Tips for Arms Race ==
* '''Adapt quickly''' to each new weapon. You need to be competent with every weapon category.
* '''Avoid dying to knives''' as it sets you back one weapon level.
* '''Play aggressively''' to maintain momentum through the weapon progression.
* Arms Race is excellent for '''learning all weapons''' in the game since it forces you to use them all.
* '''Sound awareness''' is important as players respawn around you constantly.
