CS2 weapons tier list - best guns in the game.

In this CS2 weapons tier list, we’ll rank all guns in the game to help you decide on the best ones to buy during full-buy and eco rounds.

Overall, the best Counter-Strike 2 weapons are the AK47, the M4A1-S, and the AWP.

Let’s rank all weapons in turn and showcase what makes the best ones stand out.

S-Tier Weapons in CS2

S-Tier weapons are great choices to buy if you have the money. While some are harder to use, once you master them, you’ll be able to kill enemies consistently.

  • AK-47
  • M4A1-S
  • AWP

Let’s explain in detail what makes these three weapons so great.

AK-47

At the price of $2700, the AK-74 is the gun you should be buying as a terrorist whenever you have the money. It has high damage, a solid rate of fire, and, most importantly, it can one-shot enemies if you get a headshot from any range.

It’s a great weapon for any scenario. The only setback is its high recoil, so it will take a lot of practice to master.

M4A1-S

The M4A1-S is the signature weapon of CTs. It is easier to control than the AK-47, has a higher rate of fire but deals slightly less damage since a headshot will leave the enemy with 9HP.

Also, it has 20 bullets in the magazine compared to the AK’s 30-round mag. Additionally, it’s silenced, which means you can spray through smokes without enemies being able to pinpoint your exact location.

AWP

Last but not least, the AWP is one of the best weapons in CS2. This weapon stands out since it can one-shot enemies with a body shot. With a long-range scope, it’s great for covering many angles both as a T and CT in any map.

The only drawbacks are its high price at $4750 and its slow rate of fire. If you miss, you’ll rarely get a second chance. For high-skill players with good aim, the AWP will guide you to victory.

A-Tier Weapons

A-Tier weapons are strong and relatively easier-to-play than S-Tier options but have some trade off, like less damage or lower rate of fire. They are good choices overall and are almost always worth buying.

  • Desert Eagle
  • Tec-9
  • Mag-7
  • Mac-10
  • Nova
  • P90
  • Five-SeveN

B-Tier Weapons

B-Tier weapons are situational. Usually, you’ll buy them if you don’t have money for any of the better weapons. For the money you spend, they are solid choices and can be bought when force buying.

  • M4A4
  • FAMAS
  • Galil
  • SSG-08
  • Glock-18
  • USP-S
  • MP7
  • P250

C-Tier Weapons

C-Tier weapons are extremely situational. While they can be effective, I would recommend avoiding them as there are almost always better options.

  • AUG
  • G3SG1
  • SCAR-20
  • SG553
  • XM1014
  • MP5-SD
  • UMP-45

D-Tier Weapons in Counter Strike 2

Last but not least, D-Tier weapons are simply not worth it. There are better options at the same price, so you should avoid these at any cost.

  • CZ75
  • P2000
  • Sawed-Off
  • PP-Bizon
  • Dual Berettas
  • Negev
  • M249
  • R8 Revolver

Wrapping up this CS2 Weapons Tier List

To summarize this CS2 tier list, the best weapons in Counter-Strike 2 are the AK47, the M4A1-S, and the AWP.

While these are your best options, there are alternatives with small trade-offs that are worth trying and can be easier to handle or more fun.
