Percentage-based range retention applies once per 500 game units. Penetration count is the maximum penetration stages passed to the CS 1.6 bullet simulation; material and thickness still determine whether a shot exits a surface.

Core techniques

  1. 01

    Wait the reset

    Treat each shot as a separate aim so 54 base damage is paired with precision.

  2. 02

    Keep one for the trade

    Avoid panic spam so the second opponent does not swing an empty pistol.

How to counter it

Force the second shot

Move or double-peek after a miss; it cannot fire again for 0.225 seconds.

Do not crouch in known wallbangs

Two-stage penetration punishes fixed head positions.
