The Negev is one of the most popular Heavys in Counter-Strike 2, responsible for 0.15% of all Heavy kills tracked across live CS2 matches and ranking the 3rd most-used Heavy of 6. Across competitive Counter-Strike 2 lobbies it fills a distinct role in the Heavy meta, and the breakdown below turns that reputation into hard numbers — usage, precision and damage output side by side. On the relative-popularity chart that lands about 1.3× the average Heavy’s kill share, comfortably ahead of the typical pick rate for the class. On the kill-share radar it sits behind the XM1014, the most-used weapon in the class, making it easy to see at a glance how the Negev stacks up against every other Heavy. Precision is the trade-off — the Negev’s 7.7% hit accuracy trails the Heavy average of 16.8% shown on the accuracy gauges. On paper it also tops the class for raw output, hitting 467 theoretical damage per second from 35 base damage and a 800 RPM fire rate — the highest DPS of any Heavy. The spec charts show the fastest fire rate in the class at 800 RPM, backed by 71.0% armor penetration that wins the close-quarters spray battles. The cost comparison puts it mid-priced for a Heavy at $1,700, balancing its cost against the performance shown above. Use the interactive charts to compare the Negev’s kill share, accuracy, DPS, fire rate, armor penetration and price against every other Heavy in CS2, all updated continuously from real match data.

In Counter-Strike 2, the Negev is a Heavy-class weapon that deals 35 base damage and costs $1,700. Understanding where it fits in the buy menu — and how often it actually gets kills — is key to building an efficient loadout for both eco and full-buy rounds.

Across tracked matches, the Negev is responsible for 0.15% of all weapon kills — the 3rd most-used Heavy of 6 tracked. Players who pick it up average roughly 384 lifetime kills with the weapon, a strong signal of how central it is to the current CS2 meta among the 1,080 players we sample.

Accuracy tells the gunplay story: the Negev connects on 7.7% of shots fired, a spray-reliant profile where controlling recoil matters most.

On the economy, the Negev costs $1,700 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.
