SG 553
The SG 553 — the "Krieg" — is the T-side scoped rifle with a stat line that reads like a cheat sheet: 100% armor penetration, a one-shot headshot through helmets at essentially any range, and a zoom optic, all for $300 more than the AK-47. Its price hikes after the 2019–2020 pro-play takeover are the only thing keeping it niche.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the SG 553 better than the AK-47?
- On paper, mostly yes: one-shot helmet headshots at any range, 100% armor penetration, and a scope for $300 more. In practice the AK's faster handling, quicker movement, and universally-known spray keep it the default. The SG rewards specialists who commit to its diagonal pattern and scoped rhythm.
- Why is the SG 553 called the Krieg?
- The name carries over from Counter-Strike 1.6 and Source, where the weapon was labelled the Krieg 552. The community kept the nickname through every rebalance, including its infamous 2019–2020 pro-meta era.
- Can the SG 553 one-shot through helmets?
- Yes. Its 30 × 4 headshot with 100% armor penetration deals 120 damage through any helmet, and the 0.98 range modifier keeps that lethal across practical distances — matching the AK's one-tap and beating it at extreme range when scoped.
- How much damage does the SG 553 do in CS2?
- The SG 553 deals 30 base damage per hit with 100% armor penetration. Headshot multiplier is 4x, meaning a headshot deals 120 damage before armor reduction.
- How much does the SG 553 cost in CS2?
- The SG 553 costs $3,000 to buy and gives a $300 kill reward. It's available to terrorist players.
