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.

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.

The weapon excels at medium range, where its first-shot accuracy can be leveraged effectively. However, its recoil pattern is more aggressive than its CT counterparts (the [[M4A4]] and [[M4A1-S]]), demanding strong [[Spray Patterns and Recoil Control|spray control]] from the user.
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.

The AK-47 (officially the CV-47 in earlier Counter-Strike titles) is a powerful assault rifle exclusive to the Terrorist side in Counter-Strike 2. Renowned for its one-shot headshot capability against helmeted opponents, the AK-47 is widely considered the most iconic weapon in the franchise and a cornerstone of the Terrorist arsenal.

Overview

The AK-47 is the standard rifle for Terrorists in competitive play. Priced at $2,700, it is the cheapest rifle capable of killing a fully armored opponent with a single headshot. This makes it a high-value purchase and the default choice on full-buy rounds. Its combination of power, versatility, and affordability cements its position as one of the best weapons in the game.

The weapon excels at medium range, where its first-shot accuracy can be leveraged effectively. However, its recoil pattern is more aggressive than its CT counterparts (the M4A4 and M4A1-S), demanding strong spray control from the user.
