Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
|
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (also known as CS:GO) is the latest installment of the Counter-Strike series, released in 2012. The game was developed by Valve Software and Hidden Path Entertainment for the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Mac OS X. The most notable changes from Counter-Strike: Source include the new weapons and that all of the weapons are now modeled correctly for right-handed use.
The following weapons appear in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS
In one of the menus a terrorist is seen holding a Beretta 92FS.
Heckler & Koch P2000
The H&K USP Tactical has been replaced with the H&K P2000's 9mm variant. It is the starting pistol exclusive for Counter-Terrorists. Unlike in the original Counter-Strike, this variant does not come with a suppressor. Called "hkp2000" in game files. The P2000 costs $200.
Glock 26
The Glock 26 with semi-auto and incorrect 3-round burst firemodes appears in the game as "Glock-18". It is the starting pistol exclusive for Terrorists, though prior to January 23, 2013, it could be bought by both teams. The Glock is somewhat similar in appearance to the "G18" (a converted G17) in Modern Warfare 2, which had an OD frame while CS:GO has a tan frame. It seems to be an updated Left 4 Dead 2 pistol model as it's the same subcompact Glock with a Glock 17 length slide and frame. It has an incorrect 20-round capacity, despite its grip and magazine length. The Glock costs $200.
Full-sized second-generation Glocks appear during the credits.
SIG-Sauer P250 Compact
The SIG-Sauer P228 has been replaced with the P250 Compact, chambered in .40 S&W with a 13 round capacity. The P250 is available to both teams and costs $300. The P250 is capable of killing a helmeted enemy player in one headshot.
FN Five-seveN
A current model FN Five-seveN with adjustable target sights is featured in-game. It has low damage, but high accuracy and capacity, working well against armored enemies. Prior to January 23, 2013, the Five-seveN was usable by both teams, but once again is CT-exclusive. It now costs $500. Despite being one of the weakest pistols in prior games, the Five-seveN in CS:GO is rather powerful and can kill a helmeted enemy in a single headshot, whereas before it couldn't kill in one hit even if the target had no helmet.
IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX
A Desert Eagle Mark XIX is included in CS:GO, as the most powerful and accurate sidearm available, but with a low capacity and heavy recoil. Like the Glock, its model is also taken from Left 4 Dead 2. The hammer is correctly cocked while in use, but oddly, is uncocked while reloading. The Desert Eagle costs $800, making it the most expensive pistol in the game.
Beretta M9A1
Dual Beretta M9A1 Inox handguns with wood grips, referred to as "Dual Berettas", are a popular buyable sidearm choice, with moderate accuracy and power and a high 30-round capacity. Notably, the hammers are always in half-cocked position. Unlike previous Counter-Strike installments, the dual pistols are no longer exclusive to Terrorists. Still called "elite" in game files. The Dual M9A1s cost $700.
Advanced Taser M26
A Taser based on the Advanced Taser M26 is available as the Zeus X27, and is used in-game for an quiet close-range instant takedown. It costs $1000 and can be bought by either team, though it cannot be bought in Competitive Mode.
Intratec TEC-9
The TEC-9 is included in-game, firing in semi-automatic, it is the Terrorist's counterpart to the Counter-Terrorist's Five-seveN and boasts a generous 32 round magazine. The Tec-9 costs $500.
Heckler & Koch USP Tactical
The Heckler & Koch USP Tactical was added in the August 14, 2013 patch as the "USP-S" and is an optional replacement for the P2000. It features its twelve-round magazine from previous games and reuses its firing sounds from Counter-Strike: Source. The ammunition reserve is only two spare magazines, however. All players receive this in their inventory. Using the alternate fire key will remove the suppressor or attach it if it is removed. This time it has black finish, like in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes. The USP-S costs $200.
CZ 75 Automatic
The CZ 75 Automatic was added in a patch in February 2014. It is a full-auto machine pistol that optionally replaces the P250 Compact for both sides. It costs $300 and holds 12 rounds with a single extra magazine (the one attached as a foregrip) to spare, this being cited by the developers as making it a "high risk, high reward" weapon.
Submachine Guns
Unlike previous games, most submachine guns will award bonus money upon killing enemies (2x the reward for all of them except the P90).
Ingram MAC-10
A MAC-10 is featured in the game. The model is from Left 4 Dead 2 (sans silencer with zip-tied flashlight). The MAC-10's advantages are its high firing rate and subsequent close-range damage, while sacrificing effective range and accuracy. The MAC-10 costs $1050.
Brügger & Thomet MP-9
A Brügger & Thomet MP-9 is one of the available submachine guns in-game, distinguished by its rails and folding stock. Unlike Counter-Strike, this variant does not come with a suppressor and instead behaves simply as the counter-terrorist equivalent to the MAC-10. The MP9 costs $1250.
Izhmash PP-19 Bizon-2
A Izhmash PP-19 Bizon-2 chambered in 9x18mm Makarov is an available SMG, with low damage, high ROF, controllable recoil, and a very high 64-round capacity. The game refers to it as "PP-Bizon". It costs $1400.
Heckler & Koch UMP45
A Heckler & Koch UMP45 is featured in-game, with a 25-round capacity, and an overall moderate balance of stopping power, rate of fire, and recoil. The in-game menus show this to be equipped with an EOTech sight but this is not found in-game. The UMP45 costs $1200.
FN P90 TR
The FN P90 TR appears in the game as the "P90" with rail-mounted iron sights. It is the only submachine gun not to award extra money for kills and is the most expensive, costing $2350.

The original P90 with the classic red dot sight appears in the menu background as well as in the team selection screen.
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
The MP7A1 appears in the game as the "MP7", it is a decently powerful and accurate weapon, with low recoil, a moderately high firerate, and a 40-round magazine that holds only 30 bullets. It fills the same role as the previous games' H&K MP5, even recycling the same weapon's firing sound used in previous games. It costs $1700.
Assault Rifles
CQB-R / Mk. 18 Mod 0
A CQB-R / Mk. 18 Mod 0 fitted with an ARMS#40 flip-up rear iron sight and KAC free-float RAS handguard appears as the "M4A4". The kill icon still incorrectly shows the M4A1 with carry handle from Counter-Strike: Source. Unlike previous Counter-Strike games, it does not include a detachable suppressor. The "M4A4" costs $3100.
AR-15 Variant
An AR-15 Variant was added in the August 14, 2013 update as the "M4A1-S" as an optional replacement for the above M4A4. Its overall appearance is an M4A1 with an older M16 carrying handle. It has a price of $2900 and holds 20 rounds, compared to the M4A4 which is $3100 and holds 30. It comes with two spare magazines and a suppressor attached by default that can be removed or re-attached by using the alternate fire button. This weapon is automatically given to players. As with the USP-S, it did not receive new sounds, taking its own directly from Counter-Strike: Source.
AKM
The AK-47 in the game is actually an AKM, with plastic 30-round magazines. It has very high stopping power, but has high recoil and is somewhat heavy. This model is notably ported from Left 4 Dead 2 with slight alterations like detail on the stock and smaller spring lock. The AK costs $2700.
The team selection screen, however, shows a terrorist holding an older AK.
Steyr AUG A3
Replacing the Steyr AUG A1 is the more recent A3 variant, with a Trijicon ACOG providing a low zoom level and allowing for precise shots. The rifle's in-game model visibly has a 42-round magazine, despite it only having a 30-round capacity gameplay wise. The AUG costs $3300.
FAMAS G1
A FAMAS G1 is featured in-game, but incorrectly uses 30-round STANAG magazines in its F1 mag-well instead of the proper 25-round straight magazines, despite this, it still holds 25 rounds. The FAMAS costs $2250.
A FAMAS F1 is used as the in-game icon for the FAMAS G1.
IWI Galil ACE 22
The Galil ARM is replaced by the new Galil ACE, specifically the model 22, identified by its medium-length barrel. It is referred to as the "Galil AR". On the build used during the US vs Euro faceoff, the model featured a usable Meprolight red dot sight. In the final game this weapon does not feature the sight. The Galil costs $2000.
The HUD image is a Galil SAR as noted by shorter barrel.
SIG SG 556
The SIG SG 556 with a usable Trijicon ACOG is replacing the SG 552. It is incorrectly referred to as the "SG 553", despite being called "sg556" in game files. Incorrectly fires in full-auto mode while the real SG 556 is semi-auto only (though the full-auto mode is actually available on the SG 553). Modeled with a 30-round STANAG magazine, unlike what previous Counter-Strike installments had: 20-round magazine model which held 30 rounds for both SG 552 Commando and SG 550 Sniper. The SG 556 costs $3000.
FN SCAR
The FN SCAR-L itself does not appear in the game but it might be worth noting it is the gun featured on CS:GO logo.
.jpg){kind=link}
Also its heavier cousin, FN SCAR-H, seems to be dropped during development. Name "weapon_scar17" exists along with some CS:S weapon names (i.e. weapon_mp5navy) but is impossible to obtain.
Sniper Rifles
Unlike Counter-Strike, players cannot quick scope. While using the scope there is a short amount of time in which the screen has to clear up, and whilst moving the scope will sway, making sniper rifles more stationary as planned.
Accuracy International Arctic Warfare
An Accuracy International Arctic Warfare is featured in-game, and true to its reputation, has very high accuracy and power. It is still incorrectly referred to as the "AWP". The Arctic Warfare awards 66% less money on a kill, giving only $100 as opposed to the standard $300 ($50/$150 in Casual Mode). The AW costs $4750.
Steyr SSG 08
A Steyr SSG 08 is included, replacing the Steyr Scout of the previous installments in the series. Holds 10 rounds and costs $2000.
Heckler & Koch G3SG/1
As in previous games, the G3SG/1 fills the role as the Terrorists' DMR, opposite the CTs' SSR. It has olive drab furniture and lacks bipods. The G3SG/1 costs $5000.
FN SSR
The FN SSR (Sniper Support Rifle) is included as the Counter-Terrorists' semi-auto DMR, designated as the "SCAR-20". The SSR-20 costs $5000.
Shotguns
As above with the submachine guns, shotguns award extra money on kills, in this case giving out 3x the money (which is $900 in Competitive Mode and $450 in Casual Mode).
Benelli Nova
The Benelli Nova is an available pump-action shotgun, replacing the previous games' Benelli M3. Called simply "Nova", it has the tightest spread of all the shotguns. It costs $1200. Being the M3's successor, It features an 8-round tube magazine as opposed to the real life Nova's 4-round magazine.
Benelli M4 Super 90
The Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun returns as the 'XM1014', and fires at a slow full-auto fire rate if the player holds down the trigger. It costs $2200.
Remington 870
A sawed off Remington 870 is the second pump-action featured in-game, available to the Terrorist faction(s). It offers a high capacity for a sawed off shotgun (seven rounds) and fires at a fast rate, however its spread is much wider than any of the other shotguns, making it lethal at close quarters but ineffective at distance. It costs $1200.
MAG-7
The MAG-7 appears in-game as the counter-terrorist equivalent to the sawed off shotgun; while its capacity is fewer than the sawed off, it is magazine fed, making the reload time on the weapon faster. The MAG-7 costs $1800.
Machine Guns
The LMGs in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive provide exceptional suppression due to their high ammo capacity of 100 or 150 rounds, but have high recoil and are highly uncontrollable during sustained fire. They also are hindered by their longer reload times
FN M249-E2 SAW
An M249 is an available LMG, has a slower ROF than the IMI Negev but higher amount of damage. When connecting to a server, a terrorist is seen wielding one customized with a foregrip, but this is not present in-game. The M249 costs $5200.
IMI Negev Commando
The IMI Negev Commando is an available LMG, has a higher ROF than the M249 but less amount of damage and larger bullet spread. The Negev costs $5700.
Browning M2
The Browning M2 is seen mounted on APC's in Inferno, Milita and Nuke.
Grenades
As with previous games, players may only hold one grenade of each type (except Flashbangs). In Casual Mode, players may hold three grenades, while in Competitive Mode they may hold four.
M67 Hand Grenade
The M67 hand grenade is the resident HE grenade of the game. Each grenade costs $300.
M84 Stun Grenade
Flashbangs share their M84 stun grenade model with decoys but use different textures. The Flashbang costs $200 each and in Competitive Mode, up to two may be carried at once.
Decoy grenades trick the enemy team in thinking they can be one of two different type of grenades. When they are dropped they make the same sound as the flashbang forcing nearby combatants to turn away, and when they detonate they release a small puff of flame making them for a short instance feel as if they are incendiary grenades. A great tool when working as a team. Decoys cost $50 each.

Model 5210 Smoke Grenade
Smoke grenades share their Model 5210 Smoke Grenade model with incendiaries but use different textures. Smoke can extinguish flames and is released instantly. Smoke Grenades cost $300 each.
Incendiary Grenade
Incendiary grenades provide incremental damage to the target whilst in the flame, but their biggest appeal is the ability to detour and even hold back the opposing team from approaching a certain area for about 10 seconds. When used in conjunction with the rest of your team, it is possible to keep the opposing team from approaching a certain area for almost a minute. Incendiary Grenades cost $600, while the functionally-identical Molotovs used by the Terrorist team cost $400.
