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.
How much does the Negev cost in CS2?
The Negev costs $1,700 to buy and gives a $300 kill reward. It's available to players on both sides.
What is the Negev fire rate?
The Negev fires at 800 rounds per minute (RPM) with a 150-round magazine. Reload time is 5.7 seconds.
How many skins does the Negev have in CS2?
The Negev currently has 25 skins available in Counter-Strike 2, ranging across multiple rarity tiers from Consumer Grade to Covert.
