AWP

Never re-peek the angle you just shot from — reposition even two metres and the enemy's pre-aim is wrong.

Hold off-angles at unusual widths; the AWP wins any duel where the enemy has to find you first.

Learn to counter-strafe-scope: accuracy returns the instant your velocity hits zero, not when the animation looks settled.

Aim chest height, not head height — the AWP kills to the upper body anywhere, so give yourself the bigger target.

Always plan your exit before you take the shot, and save the gun on lost rounds: $4,750 does not grow back.

Pair with a teammate who covers close range — the AWP is at its worst against a rusher inside 10 metres.
