How to Play with the AK-47

The following tactical recommendations are ideal for using the AK-47 in CS2:

  • Short Bursts for Accuracy: The best way to achieve precise hits with the AK-47 is by firing in short bursts. Many new players make the mistake of emptying the clip in full-auto mode, which causes the AK-47 to become almost uncontrollable after a few shots, giving the enemy an opportunity to counterattack. Therefore, regular practice with burst fire is crucial.
  • Powerful Against Obstacles: The AK-47 is highly effective for attacking enemies who are hiding behind walls or other obstacles due to its powerful damage output.
  • Avoid Firing While Moving: Firing the AK-47 while moving severely reduces accuracy. It is strongly advised to avoid shooting in this scenario.
  • Pick Up the AK-47: If you’re playing as a special forces operative and kill a terrorist using an AK-47, be sure to pick it up, as it outperforms many other weapons available to counter-terrorists.

Counter-Tactics

To counter players using the AK-47, here are some tactical recommendations:

  • Engage at Long Range: Attack players with the AK-47 at long distances, where their accuracy becomes less effective. However, be cautious, as a precise headshot can still be lethal.
  • Use Flashbangs: Throwing a flashbang can force the enemy to reposition or temporarily blind them, creating an opportunity for a counterattack.
  • Close Quarters Combat: In tight spaces, use rapid-fire weapons to counter the AK-47.
  • Headshots Bypass Armor: Keep in mind that a helmet won’t protect you from a fatal headshot from the AK-47.
  • Low Recoil Weapons for Retreat: If you find yourself needing to retreat while using the AK-47, opt for a low-recoil weapon to make the escape easier. Also, consider using smoke grenades for cover.
