SG 553 and AUG in CS2: scoped rifles
How the scoped SG 553 (T) and AUG (CT) rifles work in CS2, how they differ from the AK-47 and M4, and when they are worth buying.
The SG 553 (T) and AUG (CT) are rifles with an optical scope. Scoped, they are very accurate, but they cost more than regular rifles.
📌 Stats

RMB turns on the scope with slight zoom.
Scoped, recoil is lower and movement slower.
🎯 Where they shine
Holding medium and long range — the scope helps you land headshots.
Against an AWPer on a long line when you have no sniper rifle.
On maps with long straight corridors.
⚠️ Weaknesses
More expensive than the AK-47 and M4.
The scope narrows your view — it is easy to miss an enemy on the side.
Close fights are better unscoped.
🔧 How to play
Scope in early when holding a long angle.
At close range, shoot unscoped like a regular rifle.
💡 Tip
If you are still learning, start with the AK-47 and M4. Scoped rifles are convenient but do not teach basic recoil control.
