subscribe for part 2 featuring the rifles! this took a lot of time so please leave a like if you enjoyed
Please do every weapon if you can. This was a very nice video and helps since I'm getting into counter strike
Strider my brother broke my computer last week so I can’t play cs2. I’m about to sell I’m bro I’m so mad
I miss og cs rip
you can still play it@@fearrogue
@@StriderPF nice
This series is going to be very useful for beginners since the in game description of the guns don’t cover much about the stats. Maybe you should add details about wallbang potential and also the effects of a gun on a smoke. For example, shotguns, the M249 and the Negev all can really punch a big hole through the smoke which can be very crucial. Overall, I really like that you are trying to videos about other games as well. Keep it up!
As a beginner I confirm ! This is super useful nd helped me a lot throughout my games !
Arent we all "beginners" in cs2
@@Xeplen no, because CS2 is exactly the same as CSGO, so only people who have only played CS2 and not CSGO are beginers
@@GymmyRhys ye but i had to learn so many new shits to the point that i can call myself a newbie
Yeah I don't know why they took away the stats panel from CSGO. It was very useful.
the USP-S in CS:GO and CS 2 is chambered in .45 caliber. Besides that, very good video, I found it extremely informative! So thanks!
Didn't have to look for this comment very far
Not sure if it was just my buddies skin for the Glock 18 but it actually says 45acp stamped on the barrel which surprised us
.45 pairs nicely with le supress
God's caliber
@@Fenrir1398 The 18 sized 45 is a 21
Lol numbers
Great video! I've been playing cs since 2016 and have well over 4k hours but still found this very informative. I started watching you when battlebit came out and even if you stop making cs or battlebit content, I'll stick around. Excited for part 2!
i'm so happy seeing you making CS2 content, i hope you keep making those videos for new players to the game!
Great video, would love to see more on the other weapons, I would recommend talking a bit more on the running accuracy when you're talking about pistols/smgs as you did with the tec9.
This was so good, please make this for all weapon classes!
thanks man!
Love the video! Would like to see a chart of all the stats you said during the video at the end, so I can look at all the guns and compare them easier.
"counter strike has never had a video where it actually explains the stats of the guns" PROCEEDS TO GO THROUGH 12 YEARS OF WAROWL VIDEOS
3kliksphilip just chilling with slothsquadron doing nothing lol
i point out warowl because his videos are more aimed towards newer players and teaching them game mechanics while 3kliksphilip and slothsquadron focus more on the technical side of the game.
I haven’t played CS in a while, and it’s interesting some of the changes. CZ used to be a pocket AK, and the Tec used to be even better run and gun.
The CZ is still a pocket ak. It's just very hard to use properly.
Great video, looking forward to the next one. Only suggestion I can think off is adding a summary table at the end with all the shots to kill, to give a nice overview. Cheers
Also another note to make on the R8, the charge up makes a very audible clicking sound which will usually compromise your position in close combat situations. This is usually terrible when trying to have the drop on someone, however, if you're holding a corner you can quite literally spam the click and bait (clickbait gun ong) a team to you, this play is actually nasty if you have an xm or swag7 or Negev it usually works lol
Thanks for this video! Spent tens of hours playing with the USP-S because everybody used it but after spending waaay too long googleing stats I finally switched to the P2000 because it suits my playstyle way more, this video would have saved me lots of research!
Glad it helped!
its interesting to see strider playing other games but at the same time, its cool to see a pf ytber exploring other games
Great video bro. just got back to CS2 again and would love to follow this CS2 guides
More to come thanks man
Excited to see the rifle and smgs guide!
Dude I haven’t watched your videos since your phantom forces videos, looking forward for your cs2 content!
Great video man! I'm a long time CS player and I learned a few things for sure
Glad you enjoyed!
I believe that the r8 could use some slight tweaking, however, I'd argue that it does what it is supposed to rather well. I've been joking with my friends by calling it a $600 scout because of the sheer amount of damage and range it has. If you are on an eco and you need to take long range engagements, being able to tag people for 70 damage at nearly any range is super helpful for your other teammates running around with weaker pistols. Seriously being able to contest a rifle without commiting to a precise headshot and just aiming for the body can be so impactful and usually easy to follow up with just one more shot to the body for the kill.
I did not expect to see a CS video from the phantom forces guy but this is very good thank you for the video
Need this for every gun type. Great video
Great video, on some of the next videos will you do a summary or overall thoughts for both sides?
Really learned a lot for this!
thank you for this 🙏 im a new to cs so this video helps a ton, hope to see more soon
The R8 is quite reliable in CS2 compared to CSGO and I've had some very funky success with it. An example, if you lose the 1st round on dust2 and you know your aim is crispy and locked, buy the thing and see if you can nail the guy suicide more than likely pre-aimed with a scout. If you gamble what side he's on, you have a 30/70 chance of deleting him or he just plants one in your face. As a T however, they _may_ not opt to buy a scout if they won so you can attempt a crossmap headshot which, through the mid doors at that range, can still delete someone in a single slug. Alternatively, just run to top mid and get a few pre-aim shots while strafing, you might deal some damage if the CTs are peeking aggressively. The thing is a pocket scout but with absolutely no ammo to speak of, 8/8 really hurts. For me, I use it to pester through materials, it has GREAT penetration, doing nearly 50 damage to armored opponents through the doors and stuff which can help win a gunfight for your teammates with p250s or that one guy who buys a mac or nova. It is also guaranteed lethal on headshots. Its essentially all or nothing as backline support, *YOU DO NOT* want to try entry-fragging with it unless your enemy team is truly a bunch of puppies and you're just bullying them.
For other maps, same as follows. Understand the common routes of player movements, timing of movement at spawn so get a really optimistic pre-fire damage or kill, know that it can shoot through a bunch of stuff so practice wallbang spots and try to work with your team with it, best case scenario you're backline support in a 4-5man stack to a P.O.I on the map. Examples is like Mirage mid, Mini on Nuke, Heaven on Nuke, Car on Banana on Inferno etc. and any thin piece of cover. However in almost all other circumstances, you're better off with the Deagle with no trigger delay, nearly comparable first-shot accuracy with the R8 and extra reserve magazines and the damage is nothing to sneeze at with guaranteed lethal headshots at most sightlines and good chunk damage on the body.
Also, spam "weapon inspect" and "reload" alternatively to one another, you can be a budget Revolver Ocelot. If I made grammar mistakes or whatever, comment and I'll fix it, I am tired and a little loopy writing this.
I love the in-depth approach in explaining how sidearms work in this game! You're the XclusiveAce of CS basically.
I can't wait to see the analysis of remaining gun classes!
i need this ,mostly all old guide is outdated since valve had changed so many things, refreshing up is great,thankyou for the content! waiting for rifles next!
one of the best videos ive ever seen on yt, gj man
CZ is pretty controllable with follow recoil, I really enjoy using it to entry frag on maps where the entrance into sight has short sight lines like inferno
The Tec-9 used in conjunction with a triple left click macro is actually a force to be reckoned with. It's a monster on pistol round and will really give you that first round advantage the majority of the time. Definitely try it with a macro, it's nuts.
Dude this is great! Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the video. I also like revolver like support weapon. One hit guy, then finish him with nade, or peek for one shot, then teammates can finish him with 1 ak bullet
This is why I love tactical shooters, CS especially, the focus on real world weapons and equipment instead of supernatural class or abilities creates this fascinating dynamic and interplay to the fights. You can really feel the delicate balance and the care the devs put into maintaining it. Sure you can do this kind of analysis on any fps but this is the only game that manages to make it matter to the average player above basic preference and theming your playstyle. Recent CoD gunsmith systems are ridiculously complex out of an attempt to do the same thing but I find it fails to have the same impact when it all just feeds into the same old arcade shooter sensibilities. CS just had this class to it even if its roots are just as intertwined with casual gaming culture as they are with the competitive E sports scene. Good to see such a classic and enduring title return for 2023 and beyond.
Going from csgo to valorant to cs2 I am really rooting for them to fix all the issues so this game can become the greatest tactical fps for the next 10 years.
@FatRussianGamer damn straight, I do love valorant too, but that game feels much more like a product of the Esports scene. Its designed from the ground up to cater for high stakes play. CS and its plucky, communal roots will always have this anarchic spirit and potential for growth. I feel like making the map tools much more accessible is a good example of the casual community spirit still being alive despite most of the other maps and modes being missing in CS2. Im really excited to see where it all goes myself.
Great video, loved the AWP kill thrown in with the glock
I don't think I can agree with all of the strategy takes, but the breakdown of the gun stats/kill requirements is good and I'll be watching the series.
Nitpick rant:
Dualies are a fine choice against armored targets if you can swing in close range, since they're a super cheap save option that allow great consistent TTK while running (really you're fishing for a headshot on these)
CZ is a decent choice if you can hit the spray, since it has an insane TTK for it's price, especially if you hit a headshot during your spray, but you don't even have to. The fact that it's a pistol option that will root your opponent during the spray makes it a good niche, and means it can be a decent anti-rifle up close, especially since the only other pistol that can do this is the dualies which don't have the privilege of targeting for bodyshots only
r8 random spread on right click is a super intentional mechanic - it reduces consistency, and inconsistencies are what good players want to eliminate, which means it's only a good choice when you're close enough to know it'll land. It's kinda like saying they shouldn't let you fire a rifle while running because it's randomly inaccurate and won't land unless you're in their face
or that you shouldn't be able to noscope with the awp because it's "random" to land it, like no, it's a last resort and sometimes up close a faster way to land the shot.
Also note the R8 is better than you give credit, even though I wouldn't really use it. It's a great weapon for *intentional body shots*, since it lets your teammates easily finish anyone you've hit with such high armored body shot damage. (Or even great for finishing the kill with an HE!). I would say this gun is best treated as a scopeless cheap scout.
"Five seven is better than deag" is a wild take
Great video Strider! Thank you for your interpretations and phenomenal explanations. Keep it up! Cheers!
Thanks man!
looking forward to seeing more cs2 content
RoR2 Music In Background be fire tho XD nice vid thanks for all the info i need about pistols
It feels weird seeing you make videos on something other than PF but I'm here for it :)
thanks for the video, it would have been nice to have a final overview comparison of all guns in one slide
A very informative video. You got my sub!
Thanks!
I know every single thing about this game but this is nice good job Strider
i didnt even realize this was you until i got past the intro, lol. great videos no matter the game. truly amazing
Glad you enjoyed!
very nice info, my friend. im new to cs so this is gonna be great for me to getting started
Nice, glad youre doin cs2 content
Nice man defo needed this as I can’t use pistols lmao
awesome video mate rlyyyyy great cant w8 for the smg part
Glad you enjoyed
Another thing to remember is running accuracy. The P2k for example has better running accuracy then the USPS and the Tec 9 running accuracy is great.
As a long time cs player the real benefit to the p2k and m4a4 over their silenced counterparts is the reserve ammo. It is most handy if you prefer playing solo bombsites (think b site dust 2). As you can spam smokes early round without worrying about running out of ammo mid round. As well as the fact that if there is a 5 man rush 30 bullets as opposed to 20 in the mag make spraydowns night and day easier. So basically if you play any positions where you can spam walls/doors, boxes, smokes, chokepoints etc. seriously consider using these.
Would you mind sharing that circle crosshair? Looks very nice though I wonder how practical it is.
Make sure to do it for the eco round guns or like the mid range costing ones cause in most buy rounds its the m4 or ak and supper heavy goes to awp
Genuinely surprised that strider actually knows what he’s talking about
That’s actually nice
Can’t wait to see more!
Yes I love researching all the stats and I’ll do more videos on the other guns
never forget me when ur famous, i used to watch ur Phantom Forces stuff when u had 300 subs ❤️
R8 is the best weapon in the game. Well, for some situations. Mostly when there's range between you and the enemies. It's effectively a mini AWP. In close combat, it's practically useless, unless you spam the alt fire and you get lucky. But 9/10 times, close enemies will overrun you with their 9mms. The thing about the slowed movement while primary firing is that it makes for better accuracy, it's a mini instant version of the Matrix/Max Payne bullet time. Gives you a fraction of a second to adjust your aim, while running, at nearly full accuracy. Perfect companion for SMG rounds, use the SMG to spam close range, use the R8 to pick off across half the map. It's also a great gun for clutches, when the map is littered with dinked and damaged enemies - even with armor, 1 shot while running and it's sorted. The main trick is to strafe a lot, move sideways instead of back and forth.
Don't believe me? Watch my R8 video. :)
In the video I have around 650 StatTrak kills on it, now I'm way over 3K already. Yes, that's right. Over 3.000 R8 kills, the recent majority of which in competitive matches.
5:16 I believe i saw a .45 mark on the default USP-S texture, so it's probably 45, not 9mm. Great video though, I always thought tec-9 had shit accuracy because of it's random recoil lol, didn't know it's so good while running and tapping
As someone new to cs I really appreciate this type of guide
The CZ used to be so good I miss my Pocket AK. I'd say the only advantage it has is soft ecos and maybe lurking on the off chance you catch someone off guard and are able to grab their rifle.
12:37 Another upside might be the short recovery time which make the P250 good as sidearm for AWP and Scout users. That was the case in CS:GO. Idk if that is any different in CS2. I really like the P250 and I always like to buy it in eco rounds (sometimes with armor and I'm still under $1000) or as sidearm with AWP/Scout.
Hey thanks for this video, im getting back into cs. One thing that would be cool is if you showed what a unit of distance is in cs like what is 500 units in terms of A long on dust 2?
P250 is my new go to pistol, because it is cheap, fairly effective, and available on both sides. I like the Five-Seven more, but it is almost twice as much money and nowhere near twice as good. What situations (if any) would it make sense to buy a pistol with another primary weapon? I wonder if some weapons make sense together (AWP + P250?)
Basically, you only need a pistol with the AWP. Maybe another weapon would be the M4A1-S, which only has 20 bullets, so it could be a good idea to have a P250 or a Five Seven in those situations where you simply don't have enough ammo and don't have time to reload. Other than that, there is no point in buying a pistol with any other weapon.
There have been so many times ive taken down a full armor opponent with 1-2 glock bursts on full eco rounds in csgo (smfc) honestly underrated, though i need to use my dpi button to double my sensitivity to deal with the burst
The fact that you included Yoshi's Island music in this video is not lost on me.
Learning to play more CSG2. SUBBED
I’m new and found this very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Bruh, I started a few days ago. I am a big pistol fan. I knew I was missing ~something~ as everything felt so random and unreliable. Thanks for filling in the gaps!
yooooo lesssgoooo i just started playing cs, came from val, and i dont really know what to buy in pistol rounds (unlike in val where you either buy full util or 1 ability and a ghost/frenzy depending on the agent), pls do more of these
deagle dinks are so fun, pistol round is often my best round lol. so i recommend desert eagle for 700$. always go for the head
@@nicholasjacob8841 deagle is kinda meh in cs2 no? It feels like it's not hitting, i just played for a few hours and i feel like the dual gun is the best for me (especially since i main nuke)
good video. subscribeds and will be waiting for future videoz
The CZ is now my go to eco pick, it's so good at killing one person then taking their weapon (only on my T side loadout tho)
Definitely better then a tec 9 for eco and force buys. He also forgot to mention the running accuracy is pretty good so it can sometimes best a five seven on ct side aswell depending on how you use it. (Five seven is still a devil though)
man! I love this series
Thanks bro
Do the shotguns please as someone who enjoys them I feel they have a lot of damage fall off over distance.! I always wodnered why the damage felt so random with the guns this explains it a lot! ty Is there a way to know how many units you are from your opponent ?
I just realized this was strider lol good vid
Thanks
Well I know I am not crazy to love P250 lol
Even in the old CS era, I managed to learn that P228 was the DE killer in Pistol's round because it has good damage and has more capacity. So I usually pick this handgun and only use DE for specific tactic / game.
USP in game is a .45 ACP model judging by magazine capacity
Great guide!
Glad it was helpful!
I wish they changed the revolver so that it doesn't need a chargeup but when you fire there's a cool down before firing next instead of the charge up, main fire enourages accuracy and well placed shots but if you fail you have a high chance of dying, high risk high reward, and alt fire is just your back up at close range with less horizontal recoil so it's not unusable, I think it can make an m4a4 vs m4a1s sort of meta battle where people will either use good ol deagle or one shot cowboy peak
"its cylinder than the desert eagle" is the best line ever
.... wait, how did i not notice that this was the funny pf content man.
I used to grind csgo and pf, but now i play rl. But looking to get into cs2. Always loved your content since i found your 100 tips for pf vid
Imagine grinding RL in 2023 when Psyonix abandoned the game 4 years ago and don't care that the ranked ecosystem is just half filled with smurfs.
The R8 is my favorite gun in this game. (I have never played CS:GO so I come straight from CS Source and was surprised to see a revolver. I picked it up and was surprised by how much I loved it. what would I do to improve it?
I don't think it should slow you running at all while charging it and I think it should have the same accuracy as it already has. this would make it slightly better in the sense that you can run with it and attack without getting attacked yourself.
next thing I would do to improve it is lower the crazy recall by only 28% making it just slightly better at hitting.
this would make it still fun to use as the charge up is a part of the fun if you ask me.
I think the r8 is slept on. Also you forgot to mention the primary fire also make an audible sound to enemy. I feel like deagle is complete RNG unless you're literally waiting a second between shots which is pretty much the same as the r8.
didn’t know strider played cs nice to see it
i have like 340 ish hours in cs and i ALWAYS buy dualies grenade and a flash. the utility is so useful and the pistols are so good
Great video. Respect for RoR music :)
Much appreciated!
Thank you :)
hope this video does well for you I support you with changing games! :)
I remember recommneding you do csgo vid on stream once so you have me to thank guys
Plz more gameplay! Like comp. , Arms race, TDM and so on. I am sure that everybody would like that.
Given that Arms Race and TDM do not exist in CS2 right now, that might might a bit of a trick.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
you didnt lie that you will cover every aspect xd this video is great
You can crouch spam the deagle pretty well, so if u miss your first headshot from jiggle peaking just hold an angle and get a quick 2 tap from the stomach
Great info, great job!!!
Of all the pistols in the game, the CZ-75 sure is one of them.
godly guide that cover every pistol
nice timestamp
people can search and watch pistol they want to practice
Dualies are the best side arm, its like a pocket mac-10
I’ve seen glock burst be decent when going for a jump shot to maximize that window of opportunity.
Is Unreal Tournament - Foregone Destruction playing in the background?
Ay serious tip for the R8. If you absolutely MUST fan the hammer, stop your momentum/ counter-strafe *that’s the right term, right?* AND crouch before doing so. From an R8 cultist, trust me.
this pf update is crazy!
Thanks for the informative video. I have 1 critique though: to me these black-screen-pauses feel very irritating. I’d prefer different transitions / cut effects. I saw way better videos in that regard.
Yes I agree it's irritating and then becomes annoying. Nothing to say against black screen transitions - after each chapter.
But seemingly random while explaining one thing is quite odd.
At first I thought my device was having a problem :/
@@virtualxip same lol. Tried another device to check if there is a problem on my end 🙄
r8 is crazy with pre-firing, you should have probably mentioned that. Great video though!
Also the R8 is good since its literally a scout for 1/3 of the price.
All you have to do is use it to peek and hit people for 79 and let your SMGs finish them off
