The Glock-18 is one of the most popular Pistols in Counter-Strike 2, responsible for 2.85% of all Pistol kills tracked across live CS2 matches and ranking the 3rd most-used Pistol of 7. Across competitive Counter-Strike 2 lobbies it fills a distinct role in the Pistol meta, and the breakdown below turns that reputation into hard numbers — usage, precision and damage output side by side. That tracks closely with the field, sitting at around 1.0× the average Pistol’s kill share on the relative-popularity chart. On the kill-share radar it sits behind the Desert Eagle, the most-used weapon in the class, making it easy to see at a glance how the Glock-18 stacks up against every other Pistol. Precision is the trade-off — the Glock-18’s 18.3% hit accuracy trails the Pistol average of 21.7% shown on the accuracy gauges. The DPS comparison chart rates its theoretical output at 200 damage per second, 9th of 10 Pistols and behind the Dual Berettas at 317 DPS. On the spec charts it reads as a balanced Pistol, with a 400 RPM fire rate and 47.0% armor penetration measured against the rest of the class. The cost comparison puts it mid-priced for a Pistol at $200, balancing its cost against the performance shown above. Use the interactive charts to compare the Glock-18’s kill share, accuracy, DPS, fire rate, armor penetration and price against every other Pistol in CS2, all updated continuously from real match data.
