SCAR-20
The SCAR-20 is a semi-automatic sniper rifle exclusive to the Counter-Terrorist side in Counter-Strike 2. Also known as the Auto Sniper, it can fire rapidly without needing to cycle a bolt, making it extremely powerful for holding defensive positions.
Overview
At $5,000, the SCAR-20 is the most expensive CT weapon. Unlike the bolt-action AWP, the SCAR-20 fires semi-automatically, allowing rapid follow-up shots. It can two-shot kill most opponents and one-shot headshot at all ranges. The SCAR-20 is devastating on defense but its extreme price and the stigma of being considered a "noob weapon" limit its use.

Usage Tips
- The SCAR-20 fires semi-automatically, allowing rapid follow-up shots unlike the bolt-action AWP.
- Two body shots kill any opponent, and one-shot headshots are lethal at any range.
- The 20-round magazine allows you to engage multiple targets without reloading.
- At $5,000, it is extremely expensive and a bad purchase economically with its $100 kill reward.
- Use the SCAR-20 on defense to hold long angles where its rapid fire overwhelms pushes.
- Do not buy the SCAR-20 on attack. Its slow movement and high cost make it impractical for taking sites.
- The T-side equivalent is the G3SG1, which has identical stats but is $5,000 as well.
