Notice that S in the end of USP-S? It stands for silenced. One of two spawn pistols the CTs can choose from, the USP-S has one distinct trait. USP-S (Counter-Terrorists) The USP is the prevailent choice as a spawn pistol for Counter-Terrorists. See, told you there's not much in common with the Glock. ![]() Slow taps are by far the most effective way to use this pistol in 2020, which means it is of no great use in the opening round, but can be a more than serviceable sidearm later on. While it's definitely tempting to spam a pistol with an 18-round mag, our best advice is to avoid that. At the same time, its recoil is a nightmare and moving inaccuracy doesn't help either. The latter offers great damage and penetration for a CS:GO pistol, so much that it can one-shot kill a helmeted opponent at minimal distances. You might be sensing a trait here, but the common features between the Glock and the Tec-9 end here. Currently, the Tec-9 holds 18 rounds with 90 more in the back. Once again, the thing that stands out is magazine capacity. We're going in reverse this time and will begin with strengths. Long gone are the days when Tec-9 was king, but the other terrorist exclusive pistol is still scary enough in 2020. Tec-9 (Terrorists) The Tec-9 has been through highs and lows since the early days of CS:GO. The strategy is simple: bridge the distance to the CTs as quickly as you can and spam at headshot level in hopes of a bullseye. The combination of the Glock's advantages and disadvantages makes it perfect for rushing bomb sites.which is what we want from a T-side pistol. Just don't use it at more than a couple feet from the enemy. It could still come in handy in niche situations. ![]() Burst fire is scarcely used because of the latter. Naturally, firing three bullets at once massively increases the base damage, but has just as detrimental an effect on accuracy and recoil. Once the CTs put on the hats, though, the Glock's effectiveness drops like a stone.įinally, we reach the Glock's signature feature: the burst fire mode – the Glock's one of two CS:GO weapons to offer such an option. A helmet is impossible to buy in the first round of a half, so all good there.

The usually preferred CT spawn pistol – the USP, holds just 12 rounds at once with two backup mags. The size of the magazine itself does play a huge role and having a few backup mags surely doesn't hurt. The reserve ammo is an absolutely needless overkill, but we'll let the Glock have this one. The T-side pistol holds a 20-round magazine, with six magazines to spare. Both are considerably lower than its CT counterparts, but where the Glock lacks in quality, it makes up with quantity. For example – armor.Īrmor penetration and base damage are the Glock's main flaws. The Glock's status as a spawn CS:GO pistol guarantees that it plays a key role in any CS:GO match as players at higher levels would almost never go for a pistol buy in the first round of a half. While arguments can be made that statistically speaking, it is the weakest weapon in CS:GO, its usefulness far outweighs that of some other guns we're going to tackle later on. The Glock-18 is the spawn weapon on the terrorist side. Glock-18 (Terrorists) The Glock is designed for rushing sites. That's why we are focusing on the exclusives today and will leave the remaining half for part two of our CS:GO pistols guide. If you know anything about attention span, you'd also know that going over ten guns, pistols at that, at once is way too much. There are two Terrorist exclusives and three Counter-Terrorist exclusive pistols in CS:GO ![]() The other five common pistols areavailable to both sides. There are ten CS:GO pistols total in CS:GO and five of them are exclusive to either the terrorists or the CTs. CS:GO's economy means this is not always the case, however, and you will generally use a pistol a lot more than in, say, Call of Duty. It is usually a last resort in instances where you run out of ammo on your main weapon. Pistols are, like in many other shooters, a sidearm. Just like the game spawns the players with a pistol in hand, we are also going to launch this series with a look at CS:GO pistols, how they work and when you should rely on them. Today marks the starting point of our extended guide on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive weapons. Half the pistols in CS:GO are restricted to one side of the playing field.
