CS2 Economy Guide: Eco, Force, or Full Buy?

Loss Bonus System

CS2 rewards losing teams with increasing money to help them comeback:

• 1 Loss: $1400
• 2 Losses: $1900
• 3 Losses: $2400
• 4 Losses: $2900
• 5+ Losses: $3400 (Max)

When to Force Buy?

If you lost the pistol round but planted the bomb (T-side), you get $800 extra. You should usually force buy Galils/Mac-10s alongside armor.

The $2000 Rule

Ideally, on a full eco round, try to keep your balance above $2000 so you can buy a rifle + armor ($3700+) in the next round.
