Negev
The Negev is CS2's area-denial machine: $1,700 for 150 rounds and a mechanic no other gun has — the longer you hold the trigger, the more accurate it gets, until the spray becomes a laser. It doesn't hold angles so much as abolish them.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the Negev's accuracy mechanic work?
- It works backwards from every other gun: sustained fire increases accuracy. After roughly a second of continuous shooting the recoil settles and the stream becomes laser-precise for the rest of the 150-round belt. Releasing the trigger resets the process.
- Why is the Negev only $1,700?
- Valve slashed its price (from $5,700 originally) to give machine guns an actual role. At $1,700 it undercuts most rifles, making chokepoint denial an affordable tactical option rather than a joke buy — though its $300 kill reward and immobility keep it situational.
- Is the Negev good against rushes?
- It is arguably the single best anti-rush weapon in CS2: a pre-sprayed Negev turns a chokepoint into a no-entry zone, and 150 rounds outlast any utility the attackers throw. Its weakness is everything else — slow rotations, loud audio, and mid-range duels once the rush doesn't come.
- How much damage does the Negev do in CS2?
- The Negev deals 35 base damage per hit with 75% armor penetration. Headshot multiplier is 4x, meaning a headshot deals 140 damage before armor reduction.
