Category:Shotguns

Shotguns in Counter-Strike 2 offer the highest kill reward of any weapon type at $900 per kill. They are devastating at close range but nearly useless at distance, making them highly situational.

Available Shotguns

• Nova ($1,050) — Pump-action, good for holding tight angles
• XM1014 ($2,000) — Semi-auto, fastest follow-up shots
• MAG-7 (CT, $1,300) — Magazine-fed, popular for aggressive CT plays
• Sawed-Off (T, $1,100) — Highest damage per shot, shortest range

Strategy

Shotguns are best used in close-quarters positions like Inferno's Banana or Mirage's B Apartments. The $900 kill reward makes them excellent for building economy.
