MAG-7
The MAG-7 is a magazine-fed shotgun exclusive to the Counter-Terrorist side in Counter-Strike 2. It is the only shotgun with a detachable magazine, allowing faster reloads and making it the preferred CT shotgun for holding close-range positions.
Overview
At $1,300, the MAG-7 is a CT-exclusive shotgun that excels at close range. Its magazine-fed design means it reloads all rounds at once (unlike pump/tube-fed shotguns that reload one shell at a time), giving it a practical advantage in combat. The MAG-7 can one-shot opponents at close range and offers a generous $900 kill reward.

Usage Tips
- Magazine-fed reload means all 5 rounds are reloaded at once, unlike shell-by-shell shotguns.
- $900 kill reward provides excellent economic value.
- 75% armor penetration is better than the Nova, making the MAG-7 more effective against armored opponents.
- One-shot kills at point-blank range are reliable with center-mass hits.
- Only 5 rounds in the magazine, so make each shot count.
- Hold tight angles on CT defense, especially on sites like B on Inferno or short on Dust II.
- The MAG-7 is CT exclusive. The Terrorist equivalent for close range would be the Sawed-Off.
