The AK-47 dominates the Rifle class in Counter-Strike 2, accounting for 41.96% of every Rifle kill tracked across live CS2 matches and standing as the single most-used Rifle in the current meta. Across competitive Counter-Strike 2 lobbies it fills a distinct role in the Rifle meta, and the breakdown below turns that reputation into hard numbers — usage, precision and damage output side by side. The relative-popularity chart puts that at roughly 4.2× the average Rifle’s kill share, marking the AK-47 a first-pick weapon rather than a fallback. On the kill-share radar no rival Rifle comes close, so the AK-47 sets the usage benchmark the rest of the class is measured against. Its 20.0% hit accuracy lands right in line with the Rifle average of 20.0% on the accuracy gauges. The DPS comparison chart rates its theoretical output at 360 damage per second, 3rd of 7 Rifles and behind the M4A1-S at 380 DPS. On the spec charts it reads as a balanced Rifle, with a 600 RPM fire rate and 77.5% armor penetration measured against the rest of the class. The cost comparison puts it mid-priced for a Rifle at $2,700, balancing its cost against the performance shown above.

AK-47 Damage by Range
How much damage the AK-47 deals per shot at different distances. Counter-Strike 2 reduces bullet damage the further it travels — every 500 units (about 12.7 m) the damage is multiplied by a range modifier of 0.98.
| Distance | Body | Headshot |
|---|---|---|
| 0 m | 36 | 144 |
| 10 m | 35 | 142 |
| 20 m | 35 | 139 |
| 30 m | 34 | 137 |
| 40 m | 34 | 135 |
With its base damage and 77.50% armor penetration, the AK-47 one-shot headshot kills a helmeted opponent out to roughly 69 m.
Damage is per bullet against an unarmored target; body values assume a chest or arm hit and headshots apply a 4× multiplier.

Across tracked matches, the AK-47 is responsible for 41.96% of all weapon kills — the 1st most-used Rifle of 6 tracked. Players who pick it up average roughly 108,632 lifetime kills with the weapon, a strong signal of how central it is to the current CS2 meta among the 1,098 players we sample.

On the economy, the AK-47 costs $2,700 and pays $300 per kill. Weigh that against your team’s buy: a strong kill share makes it a reliable full-buy option, while pricier picks are better saved for rounds you can afford to lose the weapon on.
