Even the top players were once beginners. Counter-Strike 2 is an amazing game that’s easy to start but hard to master. Today, the CS.MONEY Blog will tell you about the best beginner-friendly weapons.
By the way, our Battle Pass event is still ongoing! In this text, you’ll find a code that will increase your chances of success in our mega raffle!
Tips for Beginners
If you’re just starting to play shooters and want to get the hang of it, don’t rush to pick up weapons that require high accuracy right away. For example, it’s better not to take the Desert Eagle until you gain confidence in your aim. It’s also traditionally hard to duel at long distances. Close-range battles with comfortable weapons can often be a winning strategy.
Take control of the tunnel and short on Dust 2, play through the squeeky or hut on Nuke, and prefer playing on A site on Inferno. A number of weapons we’ll talk about will help you with this.
P250
Let’s start with a pistol that can serve as an alternative in the first round. It has greater damage than the default weapons, decent control, is cheap, and deals significant damage (and if the opponent doesn’t have a helmet, one headshot will take them down). This pistol could very well be your starting point in mastering the game. Afterwards, you can always return to the Glock-18 or USP-S.
MAC-10 and MP9
These submachine guns are popular even in professional play because they are cheap, offer a higher reward per kill, and are very easy to use. Their biggest downside is that both are not very effective at long range, and the damage isn’t enough to take on an opponent armed with an AK-47 or M4A4 at any range other than close. However, the high fire rate and decent spray control can suddenly punish an unprepared opponent.
P90
Commonly known as the “noob gun.” The reason is quite simple—50 rounds in the magazine and a convenient spray. It’s great for rushing against other beginners, but against more experienced players, it doesn’t work as well. Plus, the submachine gun is expensive, which is the main reason why professional players don’t use it.
XM1014
Let’s also look at the shotgun. A shotgun that doesn’t require a pause between shots is a loyal companion for a beginner who, after spotting an enemy, panics and shoots everywhere. Like the P90, it’s too expensive and ineffective for skilled players, but for new players, it can still be a winning choice.

AK-47 and M4A4
Finally, let’s talk about the classic weapons that everyone uses. They aren’t very beginner-friendly, but at some point, when you need to hone your skills and experience, you’ll inevitably come to these weapons. We have a detailed guide on the AK-47, so make sure to study it carefully.
Counter-Strike is a great game, and there’s a place in it for both beginners and professionals with tens of thousands of hours in the game. Everyone can enjoy it, and we wish that for all of you!
