Weapon accuracy in CS2 plays a crucial role in determining match outcomes. Understanding and mastering these mechanics will significantly improve your gameplay performance.

Each weapon has an effective range, measured in meters, where it can accurately hit a target equivalent to a 30cm diameter plate (roughly head-sized). Accuracy depends primarily on:

  • Recoil: Upward crosshair movement when firing, controllable through opposite direction pulling
  • Spread: Random bullet deviation from crosshair center, increases with continuous firing

Movement Impact on Accuracy:

  • Stationary (Standing/Crouching): Highest accuracy, crouching improves it further
  • Walking: Reduced accuracy, useful for quiet movement
  • Running: Significant accuracy decrease
  • Jumping: Severe accuracy penalties
  • Strafing/Stutter-Stepping: Momentarily stopping before firing improves accuracy
