Counter-Strike 2 Weapons

Every gun and grenade in CS2 with its price and which side can buy it – pistols, SMGs, rifles, snipers, heavy weapons and utility.

Every round in Counter-Strike 2 starts with a buy phase, where you spend money on weapons, armor and grenades. Some guns are Terrorist (T) only, some are Counter-Terrorist (CT) only, and many can be bought by both sides. Below is every weapon with its current price.

A few changes in 2026 are worth knowing. In March, Valve redesigned reloading: you now drop the magazine and lose the bullets left in it. In September you got the option to reload silently by holding the reload key – it takes longer. And in July, the bomb explosion became a shockwave that is blocked by walls.

Weapon tips

Kill rewards differMost guns pay $300 per kill, SMGs $600 and most shotguns $900 – but the AWP and Zeus only $100.
Set your loadoutSome guns share a slot: M4A4 or M4A1-S, MP7 or MP5-SD, and the CZ75-Auto replaces the Tec-9 or Five-SeveN. Pick in the loadout menu.
Reloading costs ammoSince March 2026, reloading throws away the bullets left in your magazine. Don't reload after every shot.
Learn one rifle firstSpend your time on the AK-47 and the M4s – they're the guns you'll buy in most full-buy rounds.
