Auto-snipers SCAR-20 and G3SG1 in CS2
How the SCAR-20 (CT) and G3SG1 (T) auto-sniper rifles work in CS2, what they cost and when to buy them.
The SCAR-20 (CT) and G3SG1 (T) are semi-automatic sniper rifles. They fire fast and hit hard, but cost more than the AWP and not everyone likes them.
📌 Stats
Price: about $5000 — more than the AWP.
Fire rate: you can fire several shots in a row without cycling a bolt.
Damage: high, kills in 1–2 body hits depending on armor.
Mobility: heavy, you move slowly.
🎯 Where they are strong
Holding a long line — the enemy cannot cross without taking several fast shots.
Against a team that keeps peeking the same angles.
Against unarmored enemies on an eco.
⚠️ Weaknesses
Expensive — a bad round hurts your economy a lot.
Hard to use up close and on the move.
Many players find this style boring — teammates in matchmaking may complain.
💡 Tip
If you want to learn sniping, start with the AWP or SSG 08 — they build single-shot precision better.
