Weapon 17Mid

M249

One hundred 32-damage rounds with the longest firearm reload.

The M249 fires 32-damage bullets at 600 RPM with 75% armored retention and two penetration stages. Its belt sustains pressure through an execute, but the $5,750 price, 220-unit speed, and 4.7-second reload punish careless positions.

  • Sustained suppression
  • Multi-player choke holds
  • Repeated wallbangs

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

    Spend time, not accuracy

    Deny a timed push or penetrable choke without turning every belt into one uncontrolled spray.

  2. 02

    Plan the reload

    Four-point-seven seconds requires teammate cover or complete safety.

How to counter it

Displace the anchor

Utility forces the slow carrier away from the stable position it needs.

Listen for the reload

The long reset is a major opening if no teammate covers it.
