Want to know what the best terrorist loadout in CS2 looks like? We’ve got you covered here. The proactive play style needed to execute an effective T-side in Valve’s FPS sequel can only be accomplished if you and your team have the ideal equipment.

Of course, firsthand knowledge of CS2 maps and the best CS2 crosshair codes also undoubtedly helps as well. However, if you want to go into each round with the ideal loadout to make fragging out more effortless, we’ve covered all you’ll need to know here.

Best terrorist loadout for opening rounds in CS2

Here’s our suggestion for the best terrorist loadout for opening rounds in CS2:

  • Secondary Weapon: Dual Berettas ($300)
  • Utilities: Smoke and Flash Grenade ($500)
  • Armor: None

For those unfamiliar, the opening round of a CS2 match doesn’t immediately give you the maximum amount of money available. Instead, you start with $800, which you can use to buy the equipment you think is necessary to win the first bout. Naturally, this limits your purchases to a Kevlar vest by itself or a low-cost pistol with a few ‘nades.

With this in mind, we recommend purchasing the Dual Berettas with a Smoke and a Flash Grenade. The former is one of the most valuable guns in opening rounds due to its respectable range, rate of fire, and stopping power. Smoke and Flash Grenades are also integral in giving your team an advantage, as both of these utilities can grant visual advantages when used in the correct location.

Best terrorist loadout for late rounds in CS2

Here’s what we recommend purchasing once you’ve gathered up enough money in the later rounds:

  • Primary Weapon: AK-47 ($2700)
  • Secondary Weapon: Tec-9 ($500)
  • Utilities: Smoke Grenade, two Flash Grenades, and one Molotov ($1100 total)
  • Armor: Kevlar + Helmet ($1000)

The AK-47 is the quintessential terrorist weapon you’ll need to have if you want to take over sites and win rounds successfully. Its high damage output, relatively easy-to-learn spray pattern, and excellent rate of fire make it a must-have for T-side rounds. In addition, having the Tec-9 as your secondary weapon essentially allows you to have a robust, semi-automatic pistol as your backup gun in case you run out of bullets during a standoff.

Naturally, you can’t forget about the all-important grenades. Keep in mind that you can only carry a total of four grenades at all times. Players can also only have one Smoke, Molotov, or Frag Grenade in each round, so we recommend purchasing the first two utilities as these are essential in securing a site from counter-terrorists. You can then buy two Flashbangs to help make your team’s entry-fragging efforts easier by blinding defenders.
