Information

Powerful and accurate, the AUG scoped assault rifle compensates for its long reload times with low spread and a high rate of fire.

The AUG (German: Armee Universal Gewehr; “universal army rifle”) is an Austrian bullpup assault rifle manufactured by Steyr Mannlicher. It was designed in 1977, and adopted as the new standard-issue rifle of the Austrian military in 1978. At the time, it was notable for having a futuristic appearance. Before Global Offensive, the AUG modeled in game is the Steyr AUG A1, an older version. In Global Offensive, the weapon is modeled after the newer Steyr AUG A3. In game, the AUG is a CT-exclusive assault rifle, and the most expensive assault rifle for CTs at $3500/$3300 (in CS:GO).

It is equipped with a low power scope for medium range engagement. The player can enter the scope by using secondary fire. The player will leave the scope if they use secondary fire again after scoped in or switches weapons.

Counter-Strike-AUG

The AUG has an average rate of fire – on par with the AK-47 and M4A1-S – and deals moderate damage. In Global Offensive, the AUG is able to instantly kill a full health helmet-wearing player with one headshot at point blank range. However, because the damage is 100 flat, any additional range will cause damage dropoff and make the feat impossible.

The AUG has good accuracy and moderately strong recoil. It has the highest first shot accuracy out of all assault rifles when scoped in. Recoil is strong when fired full-auto (when unscoped), but the first few shots have controllable recoil so firing in bursts of 3 is viable. The AUG has a long reload time and is moderately heavy.

In games prior to Global Offensive, using the scope provides a 1.5x zoom towards the crosshair, but lowers the rate of fire and increases the recoil. In Global Offensive, while scoped in, the player’s view is zoomed by 3x, the recoil is lowered significantly, accuracy is increased, there is no longer a fire rate penalty, and the player’s movement speed is reduced considerably. The scope now also provides a HUD overlay of the scope, including an aiming reticle, giving the impression of the player actually aiming down the scope. Whilst using the scope spraying for an extended burst causes the scope dot to gradually disappear.

It is highly popular with newer players due to its easy-to-learn “scope and shoot” policy. In competitive matches, it is used alongside the M4s due to its accuracy and damage, despite its higher price and longer reload times.

The AUG is the main weapon for bots who have weapon preferences of wielding scoped assault rifle. And they do not make use of the scope. Oddly, bots with Terrorist preference of scoped rifle also prioritize on this weapon over the Krieg 552/SG 553 due to same weapon order in it’s template.

• This weapon is ideal for defensive purposes, such as guarding or camping, but can also be used offensively. Since an opponent with a sniper rifle still has an advantage at long range, it’s advised to camp at medium to close ranges with the AUG.
• Use the weapon’s zoom to increase the accuracy of the weapon for opponents at a distance.
• It is not recommended to use the zoom at close range, as it decreases the peripheral vision, movement speed and firing rate (in older games). Additionally, firing while zoomed in will cause more visual shake, making it more difficult to track targets at close ranges.
• In earlier games, due to the reduced rate of fire, it is recommended to go for a headshot or aim at the chest or neck when zoomed in.
• In Global Offensive, because using the scope drastically reduces the recoil, it is actually viable to spray while aiming down the scope, due to the ease of compensating the recoil.
• When using the optics, take advantage of cover and remain unexposed to be a harder target to hit or ambush, especially at mid-range.
• With the small level of zoom, it’s possible to use the AUG as a replacement automatic sniper rifle (when the real auto sniper rifles are either banned by server rules or economically unviable) for long range use by firing in short bursts. The AUG is not a true replacement however, as the auto snipers have significantly higher damage.
• In Global Offensive, the AUG inflicts slightly less damage than any other assault rifles against unarmored targets, but the good armor penetration makes the AUG the only CT-exclusive assault rifle that can kill with 1 headshot even with helmet equipped (only at close ranges, approximately 200 units or less).
• Spraying bullets is not always recommended unless at very close range as the AUG has rather strong recoil (outside of when aiming down the scope in Global Offensive).
• Reload strategically, as the AUG’s reload time is considerably long (especially in Source and Global Offensive, where its reload time is the longest among rifles).

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

is a multiplayer shooter computer game developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) is a sequel to the popular game Half-Life: Counter-Strike, which was released in 1999. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was released on August 21, 2012.

The popularity and audience of CS: GO is constantly growing.

It is not the first year that a large number of sports tournaments, from amateur to professional, are held in the discipline The prize fund of the tournaments in CS: GO is constantly growing and amounts to $1,000,000 in some competitions.

The game has a large number of weapon skins, they do not provide any additional advantage in the game, the price of which reaches several thousand dollars, and anyone can get them by playing the game or opening skins that also fall into the game. The finals of the major tournaments are broadcast on television, and bets on the outcome of the game are made by bookmakers, who talk about the further development and popularization of CS: GO.
