CS2 Weapon Prices and Kill Rewards (Full List)
A complete CS2 weapon price list with buy costs and kill rewards for every rifle, SMG, shotgun, pistol and heavy. Learn why cheap guns often pay more per kill.
Every buy decision in CS2 is a trade-off between what a weapon costs and what it earns you. Cheap weapons often pay far more per kill than expensive ones, which is the whole reason eco and force buys exist. Here is the full price list, followed by what the numbers actually mean.
Rifles
| Weapon | Price | Kill Reward |
|---|---|---|
| AK-47 | $2,700 | $300 |
| M4A4 | $2,900 | $300 |
| M4A1-S | $2,900 | $300 |
| Galil AR | $1,800 | $300 |
| FAMAS | $1,950 | $300 |
| SG 553 | $3,000 | $300 |
| AUG | $3,300 | $300 |
| AWP | $4,750 | $100 |
| SSG 08 | $1,700 | $300 |
The AWP only pays $100 per kill because it is so powerful; the economy balances its impact. See AK-47 vs M4 for the rifle matchup that decides most rounds.
SMGs
| Weapon | Price | Kill Reward |
|---|---|---|
| MAC-10 | $1,050 | $600 |
| MP9 | $1,250 | $600 |
| PP-Bizon | $1,300 | $600 |
| UMP-45 | $1,200 | $600 |
| MP5-SD | $1,400 | $600 |
| P90 | $2,350 | $300 |
Most SMGs pay $600 per kill, double a rifle, which is why they rule anti-eco rounds. The P90 is the exception at $300. More on this in SMGs and kill rewards.
Shotguns and Heavy
| Weapon | Price | Kill Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Nova | $1,050 | $900 |
| Sawed-Off | $1,100 | $900 |
| MAG-7 | $1,300 | $900 |
| XM1014 | $2,000 | $600 |
| Negev | $1,700 | $300 |
| M249 | $5,200 | $300 |
Shotguns pay the highest reward in the game, up to $900 per kill. That makes them serious economy tools, not jokes, as covered in CS2 shotguns explained.
Pistols
| Weapon | Price | Kill Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Glock-18 / USP-S / P2000 | $200 | $300 |
| P250 | $300 | $300 |
| Dual Berettas | $300 | $300 |
| Five-SeveN | $500 | $300 |
| Tec-9 | $500 | $300 |
| CZ75-Auto | $500 | $300 |
| R8 Revolver | $600 | $300 |
| Desert Eagle | $700 | $300 |
The starting pistols are free to rebuy at $200. The eco pistols (Five-SeveN, Tec-9, CZ75-Auto) cost $500 and define the pistol round and eco buys.
Utility and Zeus
The Zeus x27 taser costs $200 and pays $100. Grenades range from $50 (decoy) to $300 (smoke) and $400 to $600 for molotovs and incendiaries. See grenade types explained for the full utility breakdown.
Why Kill Rewards Matter More Than Price
The key lesson is that a cheap gun with a $600 or $900 reward can rebuild your economy faster than an expensive rifle. Winning an eco with SMGs or shotguns not only takes the round, it funds your next full buy. Learning to read the trade-off between cost and reward is the foundation of good economy management.
Takeaway
CS2 weapon prices are only half the story: kill rewards decide whether a buy pays for itself. Rifles cost the most but reward $300, SMGs reward $600, and shotguns reward up to $900. Use this list to plan ecos and forces where cheap, high-reward weapons swing both the round and the money.
