🛒 Buy Round Strategies
Full Buy

When: $5000+ (T side) / $6000+ (CT side)

What: Rifle, armor, full utility, and defuse kit (CT)

Goal: Win control and momentum

💰 Eco Round

When: <$2000 per player

What: No investment or maybe a P250

Goal: Save money for next full buy

Half Buy (Force Light)

When: ~$2000–$3500

What: Pistols, SMGs, light armor

Goal: Try to steal the round while staying eco-friendly

🔥 Force Buy

When: You NEED the round (e.g. score is 14-15)

What: Spend everything on a make-or-break attempt

Goal: Create chaos, win through surprise and utility
🤝 Team Economy Management
Coordinate Buys: Avoid split buys — they kill momentum

Drop Weapons: Share cash and gear with teammates who need it

Smart Utility Use: Don’t waste grenades. Make every nade count

Armor Decisions: Skip armor if the enemy is using one-shot weapons (AWP, Desert Eagle)
🧠 Read the Enemy
Track Opponent’s Economy: Learn their loss bonus cycle

Anticipate Their Buys: Expect eco or force based on past rounds

Adapt Your Style: Play slower vs. full buys, faster vs. ecos
🎯 Advanced Tips
Bomb Plant Economy: Even a lost round pays if you plant

Use SMGs for Cash: Great for early rounds and farming eco players

Weapon Save Is Power: Keeping your gun is better than dying with it
💥 Final Words
CS2 economy is not just about buying — it's a long game of positioning, timing, and reading the flow of the match. Control your money, and you’ll control the scoreboard.

Don't just play CS2. Dominate it. - Jason Statham
