[@StriderPF]

thanks for the crazy support on the first episode! Let me know which weapon category I should do next and I’ll make these faster hopefully once a week

[@BME6645]

Can you do utility next?

[@labgamer278]

Negev

[@thecrazyIronicDude]

shotguns

[@deeznutts8073]

Negev meta

[@drwhothehell]

I really quite enjoy SMGs, so seeing those next would be great for those rounds where I can’t afford a rifle because I did really bad

[@NodleWaffle]

id love to see a either full mid tier guide or just smg and shotguns guide since cs2 did do changes to weapons from csgo

[@StriderPF]

So many people are requesting smgs so that might be next or snipers

[@RussellScott59]

Yeah smgs coz I wanna hear what he has to say about the mp5

[@BigBoyCarp]

Shotguns are better now since they can spray through smoke really good

[@davefloyd9443]

​@@RussellScott59Feels buffed to me.

[@desider7973]

​@@StriderPFyes do a mid tier weapons vid next, love this one amd the pistol guide! Cant wait for the smg/shotty breakdowns

[@danniboy361]

Its a genuine pleasure that you're doing these videos. Couldn't be more of a perfect time to answer the questions I have about weapons.

[@StriderPF]

Thanks man I appreciate the support

[@BONK90]

Good video. Only thing that would make it better for me, would be an ingame scale for units. Like "weapon xyz has 1500 units one shot potential. The length of 'd2 a long: goose to car' "

[@wile123456]

Remember when the Aug and SG cost 50 more and people still didn't use it because the other rifles are used so much and their recoil is muscle memory for many. But as some have said, if the SG could be CT side it would be really good since it is more of a defensive weapon

[@f0kes32]

sg on CT would be too strong on defuse, as CT's play defensively

[@wile123456]

@@f0kes32 exactly, but it could probably be changed slightly or bumped in price to compensate. Because now the Aug and SG are unused and it's a bit of a shame.

[@WebacCS2]

I love how in the background clips you throw in like, one crazy wallbang, or a clip where you nade your teammate for 97 and then he gets shredded.

[@Zlay3rz]

One thing I think you should've added into pros/cons is the max movespeed with the gun out

[@schwegburt3002]

Thanks for the rifle and pistols video. With CS2 freshly out, it's great to see an up to date breakdown on the guns.

[@StriderPF]

thanks man!

[@aegis-gaming]

I personally like the AUG for its flexibility. It's got punch up close, with a comfortable rate of fire, and accuracy at range to get the required hits to kill.

[@elSean]

These videos are great. I played cs go a lot but casually. Now in CS 2 im trying my best to learn and improve a little bit, so this information is very helpful, thanks a lot ❤

[@Aniket_Biswas_Kabbo]

Really love the vibe of your videos! Looking forward to a mid tier guide asap

[@StriderPF]

More to come!

[@cactusskeet]

As i have recently made the transition from solely roblox games like phantom forces to modern new games, you also started making other videos too. Battlebit/cs2, etc. which are the exact games i got. These really help and are coincidentally convenient.

[@t3h51d3w1nd3r]

These videos are awesome, I'd love to see SMGS next, Valve really should have made some video about the weapons, WarOwl did for CS GO but the stats for the guns, prices, fire rates, ammo capacity, damage, damage at distance, damage with armour etc changed a good bit over over the years.

[@AraujoDaisuki]

As someone who started to get into Counter Strike with CS2, this videos are a godsend

[@psyktonic1056]

def smgs next plz, these guides are amazing, short and snappy, waste no time, love the content!!!

[@StriderPF]

Thanks man! I’ll do smgs or snipers next maybe snipers since there are less guns so I can get it done within the week and simultaneously work on smgs

[@zyxcon]

i used to watch your pf videos stopped playing pf didn't wach your videos for around a year and a half recently got into cs2 and im waching your vids again. keep up the good work!

[@arrik1337]

Nice video. Useful for anyone starting out. Just one nitpicky correction: the AUG is Austrian, not German. :-)

[@Bloodworia]

Just as Hitler was Austrian and not German. Easy to remember.

[@realw1ll]

Same thing

[@dreadmoc12]

One suggestion- The reward per kill is not listed in game. You actually have to kill an opponent to find out. Nova is $900 and is the only gun that's profitable on the second kill, that I'm aware of. In case anyone thought S1mple was going bat shit. He's just playing the economy. Thanks, btw. Liked and subbed. This is the CS content that's missing from KZbin apparently.

[@StriderPF]

all shotguns are 900 so theyre all profitable except xm1014 which is barely not, all smgs except p90 are 600 p90 is 300 pistols and rifles are 300 and awp and cz are 100

[@dreadmoc12]

@@StriderPF Thanks, I've only tried a few, and some I'd rather not. Very helpful.

[@dan_chen]

Oh you should really try out the mag-7 on ct side if you're playing inferno, in close range it kills even if you hit all your shots in the leg, and since the kill reward is 900 and the gun costs 1800 you only need 2 kills to earn back your spending, then pick up your enemies' weapon. This comes from a csgo player

[@StriderPF]

@@dan_chen mag 7 is 1300 i would know im the number one mag 7 fan

[@anhnguyentuan8035]

​@@StriderPFno, the xm1014 also give you 900 per kill, only p90 is the exception that give 300 instead of 600 from smg cateory

[@L0wSkiller]

IDK what's wrong with me. Ive liked the famas since 1.6, and still do. Its only useful on rounds vs unarmored T's, so really only round 2/4 if you win your bonus round. You cannot shoot more than 5 shots without it being a death sentence tho, unless you are touching them for a spraydown. So i like the burst fire, and trying to counter strafe to get surprisingly fast kills :) if my crosshair placement is bad, there's a chance the burst does the rest of the work for me

[@DumbArse]

Cannot wait for the shotgun one. People insanely underestimate the Nova so I'm curious of what peoples reactions gonna be :D

[@unmurderable2502]

I like how you translate everything so that pf player would understand

[@SeudXe]

Yesss was waiting for this ❤

[@Sijyro]

Great stuff ! Would love to see SMG and M4A4 vs M4A1-S videos

[@rivrflow]

smg guide next for sure! love this series

[@asdqwe_9381]

i didnt not expect this video to be strider when i clicked on it but good vid no other vid tells the stats of the weapons for some reason

[@khoipham9018]

Thank you for the 2 videos. They helped me so much

[@StriderPF]

Happy to help!

[@yodel96]

These videos are awesome. I tip I would suggest is instead on top of doing weapon class videos like pistols, ar, shotgun, etc.. you could do tier videos because of the new loadout system in CS2.

[@StriderPF]

thats a good point actually but its too late for me to do that anyways lol

[@masshitters930]

I’ve been trying out the follow recoil option. I didn’t like it at first, but after a few days I think I’m leaving it on. It’s OP with any SMG.

[@StriderPF]

Yeah it’s meh on most assault rifles and pistols but busted with smgs

[@wile123456]

It gives nice visual feedback for new players like me

[@runek100]

Yeah I am too lazy to learn patterns after 10 bullets on guns like galil or mp9. But this really help. Also it is great even on ak for sprey transfers

[@BTheMg]

both the pistols video and this one are amazing I would recommend doing the next video for what is popular the most Snipers

[@Christian_Bagger]

SG is my favorite weapon and has been so for years… people were on my neck for using it, and I laughed my ass off, once the pros found out how good it was. Having the option to scope, suits my play style a lot better, so the slower fire rate and 300 bucks more is well worth it

[@Atonalityy]

These videos are the kind that I will click on the moment I see them in my feed, keep up the great work!

[@StriderPF]

Thank you!

[@oliverdalseide2198]

love to see it great video for returning and new players

[@StriderPF]

More to come!

[@oofiee8833]

wow i just finished watching the pistol one

[@Helperbot-2000]

ive had alot of success with the burst fire on the famas, ive got alot of chest to head or double head taps with it

[@sauceinmyface9302]

Personally a huge fan of the M4A4, especially in deathmatch where you can't always reload, but the simple fact that it's a 200$ luxury means I don't pick it up much in comp.

[@VoliBoi]

Great video having returned to CS after a long hiatus. Would love to see a vid for SMG's!

[@wilsonx157]

Thanks for te video. It is super helpfull for a newbie like me. As many have already said, i would love to see one about smgs. I always ask myself with do people use mp9 instead of mp7 in overall efficiency for exemple. Thank you again!

[@tristantorres1113]

SMG next since mp9 seems to be meta in 2nd round buys, a bit of side note the AUG is Austrian made not German

[@StriderPF]

Yeah I forgot it was Steyr not heckler and koch who made the Aug (and the scout)

[@channel11121]

Keep it coming!!

[@TwindaddyCS]

Great Video, thanks a lot For me UMP, MP5 and such would be awesome

[@Skskcieee]

I love your cs guides

[@GarroteBill]

LOVE this videos, smgs Next?

[@evgen5647]

Pistols was the most complicated matter. Thank you for that video. Regarding rifles, Galil is nice, Famas is bad, all other rifles are there for decades.

[@darknxss4039]

These videos will definitely give him lots of views.

[@stevenf9772]

I aprreciate your use of the lambda symbol

[@KaitoKiddLive]

Great Video, kinda sounds like the T-Side Weapons are better, but i like how the M4A1-S plays. Would you mind sharing your Crosshair? I really like that Circle!

[@dreadmoc12]

They nerfed the Galil. It was an $1800 AK in GO. The one tap was the only real drawback, but the recoil wasn't even noticable when bursting, so it was easy to kill opponents very quickly and felt like a major advantage over the M4s. I got a 4 kill with it without reloading. It was very effective against trade kills.

[@MontySlython]

Honestly, I think this video sort of slandered the galil, because of the extremely easy recoil its honestly a very good weapon at all ranges so long as you dont burst fire like he did in the clips and instead use the actual recoil for at least 1/3 of the magazine and then recenter if you haven't killed them yet. I would 100% prefer having the galil over a mac10 and tec9, the extra range utility is well worth the lack of movement speed.

[@coobk373]

the galil has better stats than the m4s

[@Mark-ly4lq]

Sounds awesome too

[@Kyurem21]

when it comes to the M4s i just pick one based on if i want more bullets or not. Both are pretty ez to control with the recoil. However i will say this if you really wanna min/max your chances of wining use the A1-S.

[@Niviuz]

nice video! want wait for mid tier weapons, i found most success with UMP, but its low mag size is an issue.

[@natashawhite712]

I love the jetpack joyride somgs

[@MythicTF2]

Honestly, I think the burst fire of the famas is kinda slept on. It's in a similar place as the glock's burst but because it has actual range and requires those 2-3 shots to kill someone at medium ranges, it makes way more sense to try and use the burst at range. Even if you hit the first 2 shots with the burst, you still fired off 2 shots that are MORE accurate than a normal "controlled burst". I think the burst fire on the famas makes it insanely good at dealing with medium range while automatic fire is best for close range. Long range the gun sucks ass though.

[@Katze822228]

If both m4s were the same price I'd pick the m4a4 because most times you spray at the head with that weapon and hope for 1 headshot 1 body shot so the higher firerate is pretty good. But the 200$ extra is usually not worth it. With the new loadout system in cs2 i actually picked both m4s so i can buy the m4a4 when i got enough money

[@StriderPF]

same here i go more m4a1 but it depends on map and how the team is doing

[@user-iz2oj5kp2m]

Just won an subscriber Very helpful for begginers

[@Excene.]

def smgs. prob next most used weapon class

[@insideandy92]

Is there an Excel sheet or something with all this info? Would be nice to see it all at a glance while in game

[@fredrik1337]

This makes me want to goof with the krieg a bit more

[@Just_Unlucky]

will love to see the mp etc guide

[@silviaman99]

I'd say SMG's next as they kind of make or break the early rounds in comp. I wish there was a casual without armor and lower $/round, or pistol only.

[@Smiiileyyy1]

This is legit wat is needed for CS community's r8 now

[@rathbuc1834]

The a1 and the a4 are so similar, to the point where I use a4 simply because I have a stat track

[@Nixxian]

Hey man, I was watching your Ragdoll Universe video, and I was wondering if you could do an updated video on the game since it has changed alot since you last played?

[@phoenixburger8701]

i'd love to see the smg video

[@Natedogg3100]

Please do a mid tier. You did pistols and rifles already. Last needed to complete the cs2 triforce is SMGS! Maybe sneak in a utility video about when to buy and use smokes and such.

[@trappedsouls2125]

I hit someone for 99 in 4 with a m4a4 a couple of days ago, I had to comeback to this video to know why guess I’m going back to the a1s

[@Wassim.Bouazizi]

Your crosshair is elite i want that

[@artkholodov2465]

13:06 The SG 553 is actually just the third rifle of the SG 550 series and has nothing to do with the caliber, which is how it is chambered in 5.56

[@clubpouaro1469]

Very cool vid

[@turbors]

Galil and FAMAS are extremely meta and bought very often on mid buys in pro games

[@Pepe-pq3om]

It's a niche use

[@asdqwe_9381]

neither are meta but galil is used quite a bit but there is no point in buying famas as the mp9 is completely broken on ct side

[@Venator74]

Pls keep doing these!

[@StriderPF]

More in the works!

[@LeonSteelpaw]

I've done well with the Galil tbh, FAMAS too when I need to save up some

[@StriderPF]

They aren’t bad necessarily but they certainly are as good as their price

[@kuroko_7380]

I would love to see a statistical tier list

[@The_Levkir]

Nice vid again! May I ask for your reticle code? Thanks!

[@SomethingScotty]

I'd do SMG's next since it's the last category that has enough weapons to be it's own video, whereas there's only like 4 shotguns and 4 sniper rifles and then 2 LMG's, and the Negev is literally a no-brainer since after the first like 5-8 shots it no longer has recoil. Fun fact though, the M4A1-S does like 20% more damage with the silencer off. The trade-off though is that it's also slightly less accurate and obviously noisy as hell.

[@StriderPF]

I don’t think it does more damage unsuppressed from all the stats and testing I’ve done, it has more recoil from less recovery speed I think but I’ll look into that

[@StriderPF]

Also snipers can probably be it’s own video (just a shorter one) and I was going to put shotguns and LMGS together

[@SomethingScotty]

@@StriderPF It's entirely possible I'm getting my game versions confused, but I know back in 1.6 having a suppressor on your USP actually dropped the damage per shot by like 2-3 points, and having looked into it I guess 1.6 it gave the M4 increased close-range damage, but made it less accurate, and I think in Source that got flipped. Never heard of them changing it so I just assumed it was the same in CSGO/2 since I kill quicker with the silencer off. Perhaps it's just placebo at this point.

[@endarel4512]

One of M4A1 cons is silencer sticking out much farther than M4A4.😊

[@billiaam]

cool to see u branch out from pf :)

[@WhittyWhitts]

My favorite assault rifle is the SG 553 aka the Krieg. I love the scope and 100% armor penetration.

[@davefloyd9443]

IRL Both the Gallil and the Sig 500 series are improvements on the AK74's architecture. Funny how the original stamped AK47 is still the meta rifle in game.

[@koachkartier3362]

smgs and shotguns in one video would be nice!

[@shrig018]

When i am missing my shots, i play famas and imo its pretty good

[@SlyRocko]

Since CS2 allows you to slot in 5 of any rifle, on the CT side you just remove the Famas and get both M4 variants. I doubt you would use both M4s in one match or even a series of matches, but it's certainly better than the Famas eternally collecting dust.

[@StriderPF]

i have scout awp famas and both m4s since aug and scar are completely unnecessary except if your trolling the other team with auto sniper

[@pear_bear]

The m4a1 is insane!

[@juxtaposer.]

AK footage in the famas section? 👀

[@zxkredo]

Feedback for the nwxt video of this type, i would not repeat the leg damage out loud for armor. I wpuld also try to reduce the damage part of the video, it spunds a bit annoying listening the same tedt over amd over again.

[@XaTrIxX2]

definitely SMGs next.

Woah he a csgo 2 youtuber now

[@josephhackett6403]

Very good more plz.

Great video, please note tho that the AUG is a austrian gun, dont mistake these guys as germans as its basically german language after 20 beer.

[@jony_tough]

12:30 you didn't have to do the guy that dirty 💀

[@FyXeeu]

I find it really weird that the chest takes more bullets than the abdomen, great video btw, should do SMGs next!

[@StriderPF]

i think its because your vital organs are more in your lower chest vs upper has the ribcage but still its goofy

[@MythicTF2]

I think its for a touch of realism & balancing. Since your vital organs like lungs & hearts are gonna have better protection around them while your stomach you can TECHNICALLY live with a bullet through it. Silly but it also makes it better so if you miss your headshot you aren't still rewarded with a quicker kill.

[@oskarsjolund6758]

@@MythicTF2 yes my guess is also to not reward missed headshots attempts. It simply to balance the game more

[@adamszabo2139]

CS is still having balance issues. CTs cannot do one-tap with rifles in any practical situations, while Ts can do it both with AK47 and SG553. Most of the CT players pick an AK or an SG from the ground, even when they actually wield their CT counterpart. I think, just one more base damage could make the CT rifles more balanced - also for FAMAS, the higher than Galil price, and the only 25 mag size seems unfair.

[@atledbet_1157]

I personally use the a4 over the gay1s, 10 bullets is a huge deal when you’re being pushed and don’t have time to reload.

[@NotHaloPlayer]

@@th0rnedroseidk I kinda prefer the m4a4 over the m4a1 due to how it feels, it just feels really good to use so I can get kills easily with it
