MAC-10

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

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 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 flashbang to close distance and force close-range duels.

Competitive Meta

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.
