FAMAS
The FAMAS is a budget assault rifle exclusive to the Counter-Terrorist side in Counter-Strike 2. It is the cheapest CT rifle and provides a cost-effective option when the economy does not allow for an M4A4 or M4A1-S.
Overview
At $2,050, the FAMAS is the entry-level CT rifle, significantly cheaper than the M4A4 ($3,100) and M4A1-S ($2,900). It features a unique burst-fire mode alongside its standard automatic fire, giving players flexibility in engagement range. While it lacks the damage and accuracy of the premium CT rifles, the FAMAS provides much better performance than SMGs and pistols against armored opponents.
The FAMAS is commonly purchased on force-buy rounds or when the CT economy is recovering from a series of losses.

Usage Tips
- The FAMAS burst-fire mode fires 3 rounds rapidly and is effective at long range.
- At $2,050, it is ideal for force-buy rounds when you cannot afford an M4.
- The 25-round magazine is 5 fewer than the M4A4, so trigger discipline matters.
- Armor penetration (70%) matches the M4 rifles, meaning it performs reasonably against armored opponents.
- Switch between burst and auto based on engagement range: burst for long range, auto for close/medium.
- The FAMAS cannot one-shot headshot helmeted opponents, similar to the M4A4 and M4A1-S.
