How to Play with the M4A1-S
The tactical aspects of playing with the M4A1-S include the following:
- Ammo Conservation: If possible, conserve ammo, especially when you can't engage multiple enemies. In close to medium-range combat, using spray tactics can be effective.
- Suppressor Use: Despite the increased length with the suppressor, it is highly recommended to keep it on. Removing it will cause increased recoil and spread, reduced accuracy while jumping, and louder shots, making it easier for enemies to locate you.
- Tactical Positioning: Fire a few shots and change position to keep enemies guessing.
- Close-Proximity Combat: If you decide to remove the suppressor, it's best to stay near your teammates. Otherwise, you risk being at a significant disadvantage.
- Magazine Capacity: The M4A1-S only holds 20 rounds, so avoid “pre-firing” and aim for accurate long-range shots to save ammo.
- USP-S Complement: The USP-S is a great backup weapon when you run out of ammo in your primary weapon.
Counter-Tactics
- Most rifles in CS2 can counter the M4A1-S, with the AK-47 often being the weapon cs2 of choice for this purpose.
- The M4A1-S’s small magazine capacity gives the enemy an advantage. After a fight, the enemy may deplete most of their ammo, leaving them with insufficient rounds to finish the job.
- At higher ranks, these recommendations become less effective, as skilled opponents will focus on headshots. In this case, you should try to respond similarly, aiming for headshots using the AK-47.
