The '''MAC-10''' is a submachine gun exclusive to the Terrorist side in [[Counter-Strike 2]]. It is one of the cheapest SMGs in the game and a popular choice for anti-eco and force-buy rounds due to its high fire rate and generous kill reward.

== Overview ==
<div class="weapon-infobox-img">
Priced at just $1,050, the MAC-10 is an extremely cost-effective weapon that excels in close-quarters combat. Its blistering 800 RPM fire rate, combined with a $600 kill reward, makes it the premier anti-eco weapon for Terrorists. Securing just two kills with the MAC-10 more than pays for the weapon and generates profit for the next round.

The MAC-10 is most effective when the enemy team is on an [[Economy System|eco round]] or when used aggressively to close the distance against riflers. At range, its damage falloff and poor accuracy make it unreliable.

== Usage Tips ==
* The '''$600 kill reward''' is the highest among SMGs, making the MAC-10 extremely profitable.
* '''Close the distance''' aggressively. The MAC-10 is at its best within 10 meters.
* The high '''fire rate''' (800 RPM) means you burn through ammo quickly. Control your bursts.
* Use the MAC-10 '''after winning the pistol round''' to punish the enemy eco round while building economy.
* '''Running accuracy''' is decent with SMGs, allowing you to strafe and shoot effectively.
* Against '''armored opponents''' with rifles, the MAC-10 is at a severe disadvantage at range.
* The MAC-10 pairs well with a [[Utility Usage|flashbang]] to close distance and force close-range duels.


== Competitive Meta ==
== Strategy ==
The MAC-10 is the default second-round buy for Terrorists after winning the pistol round. Its combination of low cost, high kill reward, and close-range lethality makes it the ideal anti-eco weapon. Professional players often rush aggressively with the MAC-10 to maximize kills before the enemy can buy rifles.
The MAC-10 is the cheapest SMG at $1050 and the go-to anti-eco weapon for the Terrorist side. Its high fire rate, affordable price, and $600 kill reward make it an excellent investment on rounds where you expect the CT side to be on an eco.
 
=== When to Buy ===
Buy the MAC-10 on the round after winning pistol, when you expect the enemy to be on eco. The $600 kill reward means each kill pays for more than half the weapon's cost. It is also viable on force-buy rounds when you cannot afford a rifle.
 
=== Aim Techniques ===
* '''Run and Gun''' — The MAC-10 has excellent running accuracy. Push aggressively and spray while moving at close range.
* '''Close the Distance''' — The MAC-10 is weak at range. Use utility and map knowledge to force close-quarters engagements where it excels.
 
=== Engagement Range ===
The MAC-10 is dominant at close range but falls off rapidly at medium and long range. Avoid taking long-range duels — reposition to get close.
 
== Spray Pattern ==
The MAC-10 has a relatively simple spray pattern that rises vertically with moderate side-to-side wobble. At close range, pulling down is usually sufficient. The high fire rate means the magazine empties quickly.
