No change to the AUG’s numbers in Valve’s file since May 2024.

CS2 weapon · Rifle · CT side AUG

Valve: “An optional scope for exceptional accuracy.” Powerful and accurate, the AUG scoped assault rifle compensates for its long reload times with low spread and a high rate of fire.

You can take the first headshot inside 5 m — one helmeted headshot kills there.

What beats the AUG?

Weapon · edge30 m · headCost
Hits to kill from Valve’s file at your distance and armour — not win rates. Shotguns left out: pellets decide.

Economy context

  • AUG + Kevlar + helmet$4,300$200 short
  • AUG + Kevlar$3,950$150 left
  • AUG alone$3,300$800 left
  • FAMAS + Kevlar + helmet$2,950$1,150 left
Kill reward $300 — 11 kills pay the gun back. Armour: Kevlar $650, with helmet $1,000 (Valve’s items_game.txt).

Counterplay tips

  • Fight it beyond 28.22 m: past its standing accurate range even the first shot is not sure to land.
  • Catch it moving: on the move its first shot is only sure within 1.12 m.
  • It needs 5 chest hits at 15 m against armour — trade it rather than duel alone.
  • It moves at 220 u/s — expect it to reposition quickly.
  • Drop its holder first: they lose a $3,300 gun, and each kill it makes pays them $300.

No — 2 hits to a helmeted head at 30 m (96 each).
