How To Best Use Money in Counter Strike 2

CS2 players, particularly those who are newcomers to the game, often scramble to find methods they can best use money in the game. Fortunately, we're here to guide you on how you can win rounds, get frags, and still have money saved up to take people down.

The art of saving money in Counter-Strike 2 is essential. In a game full of adrenaline-filled rounds where your equipment matters a lot, you'll need as much money as possible to buy the best weapons in-game, alongside utilities like Kevlar and grenades. While you can still succeed in the title through pure raw skill and teamwork, having good items can make a huge impact.

In this article, we'll look at various methods you can use to make money in Counter-Strike 2, whether through getting kills or just eco-ing a round. If you want to play with a professional-level CS2 player and learn how to properly eco under them, then you can always hire one from Eloking.

How to Eco in Counter-Strike 2

For those who don't know, eco is another way to say "manage your money" in Counter-Strike 2. Basically, you buy the bare minimum, like grenades or a pistol, or you don't buy anything, so you have money for the next round. That way, you may lose one round, but you'll have better weapons on the next one, giving you a higher chance of winning and earning more XP.

One important thing you must note while doing eco rounds is communicating with your team so that everyone saves money. Another benefit to communication is that you can execute different strategies for eco rounds to win one of them, giving your team a higher advantage in the next round. We have a dedicated blog teaching players how to eco better in CS2.

What Weapons give the most money in Counter-Strike 2?

Eco-ing isn't the only way to get money in the game. Getting kills is also an easy to make money in Counter-Strike 2, but remember one thing. Different weapons offer different rewards. For example, getting a kill with a knife can grant you $1500, which is a lot of money in the game. However, you can also get a measly $100 by killing with an AWP, so choosing the right weapon is essential.

Here are the top 3 highest-paying weapons in the game:

1. Knife - $1500
2. Shotguns - $900
3. SMGs(Except the P90) - $600

Don't try to get money through Zeus kills because they have a $0 kill reward despite being very risky. Also, try not to kill your teammates, as that will just give you -$300 alongside a potential ban. Hey, if you want to be a pro like broky or YEKINDAR then you'll have to stop killing your teammates.

Do you get money by completing objectives in Counter-Strike 2?

In Counter-Strike 2, you earn money by following through on objectives like planting a bomb or rescuing a hostage.

If you successfully plant a bomb, a $300 bonus is given to the planter, and if your team dies and you lose the round, you'll still receive an additional $800. Winning a round via bomb detonation will grant the entire team $3500, and winning through elimination will give $3250. One important thing to remember is that if the round-timer runs out, terrorists alive won't receive money, which can ruin your team's economy.

If you're CT, then defusing the bomb will give each player in the team $3500, as opposed to just $3250 if you eliminate the entire team or wait til the timer runs out. 

Do you get money by losing a round in Counter-Strike 2?

You get petty cash by losing a round, but they increase if you're on a loss streak. If you lose multiple rounds in a row, you get more money for each consecutive loss, which can help you turn the tide of a match.

• For one lose, you get $1400
• For the second loss, you get $1900
• For the third loss, you get $2400
• For the fourth loss, you get $2900
• After that, you get $3400
