The AWP dominates the Sniper class in Counter-Strike 2, accounting for 11.29% of every Sniper kill tracked across live CS2 matches and standing as the single most-used Sniper in the current meta. Across competitive Counter-Strike 2 lobbies it fills a distinct role in the Sniper 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 3.6× the average Sniper’s kill share, marking the AWP a first-pick weapon rather than a fallback. On the kill-share radar no rival Sniper comes close, so the AWP sets the usage benchmark the rest of the class is measured against. Where it separates is precision: the AWP’s 39.5% hit accuracy beats the Sniper average of 26.2%, as the side-by-side accuracy gauges make clear. The DPS comparison chart rates its theoretical output at 79 damage per second, 3rd of 4 Snipers and behind the G3SG1 at 320 DPS. The spec charts hand it the highest armor penetration of any Sniper at 97.5%, alongside a 41 RPM fire rate. The cost comparison puts it mid-priced for a Sniper at $4,750, balancing its cost against the performance shown above. Use the interactive charts to compare the AWP’s kill share, accuracy, DPS, fire rate, armor penetration and price against every other Sniper in CS2, all updated continuously from real match data.
