SG 553
The SG 553 (commonly called the Krieg) is a scoped assault rifle exclusive to the Terrorist side in Counter-Strike 2. It is the only weapon in the game with 100% armor penetration, meaning bullets deal the same damage to armored and unarmored targets.
Overview
At $3,000, the SG 553 is more expensive than the AK-47 ($2,700) but offers unique advantages: 100% armor penetration, a built-in scope, and the ability to one-shot headshot at any range. The scope provides excellent long-range accuracy, making the SG 553 versatile across all engagement distances.
Despite these advantages, the SG 553 is less popular than the AK-47 due to its higher cost, different spray pattern, and slower fire rate.

Usage Tips
- 100% armor penetration means armor provides zero damage reduction against the SG 553.
- The built-in scope is excellent for long-range engagements.
- The SG 553 can one-shot headshot helmeted opponents at all ranges.
- The spray pattern is diagonal (pulls down-right), unlike the AK-47 which pulls down-left then right.
- At $3,000, it costs $300 more than the AK-47. The extra cost buys the scope and armor penetration.
- Slower fire rate (545 RPM vs 600) means losing spray duels to the AK-47 at close range.
- Consider the SG 553 on maps with long sightlines where the scope provides an advantage.
