The best thing about the Negev is how people (particularly at lower ranks) forget/don't how accurate it is when spraying. After those first couple of shots it's like a laser beam.
people reallys forgot how good negev is it when it comes to stop a B rush, like, all you gotta do is hold mouse 1 while the enemy team just run straight into it, lol, i also did like to mention that you basically become a mobile turret, or a Sentry gun from Tf2 once you buy it.
Wanted to mention a few differences between mp7 and mp5-sd: The recoil is the same for both guns, it just doesn't feel that way due to the gun sounds. The mp7 has 2 more base damage than the mp5, but the mp5 doesnt have tracers and has a higher movespeed of 20 units/s. Other than that, they are pretty much the same laser beam SMG.
The MP9 id legitimently better than the M4s holding certain positions. If I expected to hold B on Inferno, I just hold a close angle on Banana and retreat to another close angle. Anyone who pushes get absolutely blasted and the money savings means I can always afford a molly which will generally be more important than an M4 most rounds. But I do like how there is variety beyond M4/AK in CS2 it's way more interesting that way.
The Mp9 is insanely good right now. It does everything you're talking about and also abuses peekers' advantages if you're ever playing on higher latency.
And if you lose, well all they get is an mp9, which is good but not enough to go up against people with rifles in the next round or the next gunfight if it's the anti eco round.
@@Alvinsladden The MP9 is the gun to go on anti eco rounds or for the second round buy. Let say you win four rounds in a row and just lose one then one guy in the team should get the MP 9 while the rest get rifles as usual. The guy with the MP9 and armor can easily hold sites or be the entry fragger against the other team who have to buy eco. But if he dies then all they get is an mp9 while they still have to go up against the rest of your team who have real rifles.
The Negev gets a bad wrap and I understand that. It’s rarely picked and you can’t play normally while using it. I have two negevs in my inventory with a total of around 4K comp kills tracked. When you pick the Negev you should adopt a different mindset. You aren’t a normal CT anymore, you’re a walking pillbox/bunker. You are incredibly immobile but posses the firepower of an entire team. Hold angles that groups push, not individual people. Hide on the bomb site in an area where you are most likely to see 3 or more enemies push. Flank behind enemies when they fail to use a lurker and hold behind them in case they decide to rotate away. Most importantly, DONT BE AFRAID TO SHOOT SMOKES. The negev has 150 rounds and fires like a laser beam. Playing as a CT and the enemy blocked your line of sight with a smoke? Spam the area they will come out of through the smoke for a good 10 to 15 seconds. Tell your team to get away from you and to move to other advantageous positions. This not only causes the enemy team to stop their push and waste a smoke but puts all the focus on your position and makes the enemy nervous, making it easier for your team to cut them down when they least expect it. The Negev is an ace machine and it’s firepower is unmatched by any other gun in the game if used correctly. It’s also the best gun in the game (maybe besides the AWP) at getting the enemy team’s attention and forcing them to find cover. Use the disadvantages of the gun as advantages. Play confidently and hold awkward spots. When you get good with it, push long areas of maps and let the enemy underestimate you. Pick the Negev when the enemy is getting too confident at rushing a single site or if 4 of your teammates are stacking a site and you are going to the other site alone. The Negev is an ace machine and gives one player the ability to cut down an entire push from the enemy team. (Look at replies for a few map-specific holds/strats I recommend)
First, the negev shines on CT side. I have used it on T side and gotten good results but I also pick the gun a lot more than most people do so I’m more comfortable with it. To start off, just pick it on CT. Always fire the negev crouched. You can’t leave gunfights or strafe with it so fully commit to a gunfight when you get in one. Crouch and stop moving. Focus on your spray and focus on moving the bullet trail to other enemies when they pop up. Here are the map-specific stats I recommend: Mirage: Holding A site is more straightforward and has a lot of options for you. I personally hold under palace and watch Tetris. When pushing ramp there will usually be one T side person that peaks first. When pushing Tetris, however, most enemy teams will push altogether and you can get a quick 2-piece or even 3. There aren’t many escape options there though so keep that in mind. You can also hold connector and take a few peaks at mid if someone is also playing window. My most ballsy play that I love to do is to rush palace. Take out your knife and hold “W” until you get up to palace. Take out your Negev and deal with anyone that might be up there (that part is up to you.) If someone was up there and you killed them then it’s a good idea to keep pushing and hold T spawn from the back of palace. If you didn’t find anyone, tell any of your teammates at A site to rotate to mid or B. Hold palace and wait. If the enemies go B there should be 4 CTs waiting for them. If they push A, they will likely arrive on site through jungle/connector and determine that no one is around. Once you feel the enemy team start to take their positions to hold the site, swing out of palace and take out anyone hiding on the site or in difficult places for your team to engage from their spots. I personally prioritize killing anyone at Tetris, then sandwich, then stairs, then I ignore the rest of the site completely and look at firebox. It’s a great way to either mow down the entire unaware enemy team or to make a few very important frags before your team has a chance to even get there. Nuke: The Negev shines on this map and it’s really easy to use here. Just hold open areas and hope for the best. My personal favorite spot to hold is ramp and I have two different play styles for it. One is aggressive where I hold trophy room through the handrails while standing on the lower ramp. I will also stand on the boxes above lower ramp and hold the T-side entrance to ramp. Most enemy teams push ramp altogether so it’s not too complicated. The most satisfying thing to do is where I play passively at ramp. This is where I will hide behind the red box at the back of ramp. You need a good spawn to get there in time but if you make it behind that box without the enemy knowing you are golden. No one checks that box when they push ramp and no one is there. The key to this spot is to have your entire team push other areas. Don’t throw utility at ramp at all. Let them run into ramp thinking that they just got to B without a problem. When you feel the time is right, swing out and engage. I personally look at hell/under heaven first since they will have the best chance of escaping or causing problems for your team. Then mow down anyone caught off guard by your play. Heaven is also a power spot if you can sneak up there while the enemy is planting A. Vertigo: I hate vertigo and I hate using Negev even more on it. I’m bias here so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I don’t see anywhere I’d rather have the Negev than another gun. Just stick to normal guns on this map, I never have much success. Inferno: I dislike playing inferno but there are some spots where I’ve had a lot of fun. Despite what people might think, holding banana with Negev is a deathwish. Negev holding any angle with banana will get shredded starting at low-tier players. Banana is just so pre-aimed and memorized that anyone with an AK and a 10-volt brain will know you are there. Instead, hold A site and pick areas like library or graveyard. I like to play apartments and hold alt-mid. If you see no one then drop down and go down Mexico to mid. Pop up behind banana and you’ve got a nice line of enemies to engage. The last thing T side players want is someone with a Negev or AWP behind them in banana and you will put them in a very awkward spot if you can pull it off. Overpass: Bathroom and heaven are your bread and butter. Bathroom opens up your playstyle a lot more and really let’s the Negev do it’s thing. Popping up heaven at opportune moments can shut down enemy teams regardless of what weapon was used but the Negev can get you a nice 3 piece before you are killed. Ancient and Anubis: I don’t play these maps and when I get into a premier match on these maps I never use Negev. I just don’t know how enough callouts and I don’t know the layout well enough to be beneficial to my team even when I use rifles so sorry but I don’t have any advice on these maps besides don’t use Negev lol.
@@Damacles1776 Hey man, that's an actual guide, posted as a comment. Thanks for sharing! Hopefully some more negev-aspiring folks find this, unfortunately I ain't the target group but I just couldn't let this effort sit with no comments.
Top tier secret Negev Strat that the pros DON'T want you to know: decoy grenade with a Negev is insanely good at scaring off a push, especially if you've stopped a rush or two with a Negev already. Throw a smoke, pop a decoy at your feet, and congrats, you can now rotate for free.
I think the XM being able to do some damage at medium range is pretty balanced for its price and what it has to offer, its already a very situational gun for multi kills so it kind of justifies the extra price being able to manoeuvre around more of the map while at less of a disadvantage than when you have another shotgun. UMP use has declined a lot from the past, I think in part because, while its still not bad, it doesn't really offer any amazing quality that puts it apart from other smgs. It's not really worth the extra investment over a mac10 in 99% of situations. If valve wanted to make UMP more of an option again, my suggestion would be to reduce damage drop off at range and increase armour penetration so you can use it to fight full buy opponents more effectively for little investment at long ranges, where the mac10 / mp9 dominate in close range just because of fire rate.
Yeah, I personally hope they find a way to make the Mp7 and Mp5 more viable. I always feel like I'm using a gimic when I get kills with the XM, but its so effective I just cant stop buying it
What i think about these guns: -M249: never use it way too expensive for very little value -Negev: Strong Eco weapon, only useful against rushes (prefered weapon if you know they rush a chokepoint which you smoked off) -PP-Bizon: the best weapon for the run and gun playstyle except the p90, good if you are very close to enemies and have the surprise factor (peakers advantage) -Sawed Off: strong weapon if ct's are pushing you at tight corners, but mostly not worth the money -Mp5: i play mp5 like the pp-bizon, honestly better alternative to the pp-bizon, but probably not recommended to use often, because this playstyle is very reliant on the perfomance of the enemies (them making mistakes) Mp7: i personally like mp5 more than the mp7, but honestly both are not that good. nova: once my favourite shotgun, but now i switched to the xm1014, because the nova is much worse at stopping pushes. p90: op weapon. ump: i think it's the worst smg. -mp9 / nova for close range. -mp5 / mp7 for close - medium range -m4 for medium - long range -m4 / awp for long range... Why would you play ump long range? --> ump has better alternatives for most ranges and many playstyles -mac10: great cheap weapon -upgrade to a better weapon when possible -mag-7: very strong. Sometimes i prefer nova, sometimes xm1014; pretty much interchangebly -xm1014: very op. -mp9: broken true.
@@Jitliung The ump can sometimes go toe to toe against CT rifles on medium distances (they are both head+body kills), but you have to headshot one of the first couple shots, otherwise you get rekt by accuracy and damage cap. I think that's why some people like it and some hate it. It could be really great value for force rounds, but it could also completely go to waste.
I don't agree...we play a lot of time with negevs and bisons. They are both cheap for what they offer. The Negev is really good because once you started it you can be accurate with it and you can hold certain positions and stop the enemy to advance, the bison is good because it's fast and you can shoot it while rushing. I would put the sawed off and the ump45 under both the Negev and bison.
we need a balance pass on the mid-tier. ever since they nerfed the UMP the Mac10/MP9 are just unbeatable. there's really no point in buying anything else except maybe the odd shotgun.
I agree. A long time ago, the Negev used to cost 5700, but it was a fast firing laser with great burst accuracy. For some reason, they never buffed the m249 after they changed the negev, but I wish they would make the current m249 like the old Negev.
Great video. However the audio is quiet for me. I'm not sure if it's me or the recording. I appreciate all the tips. I am new to CS and knowing which guns to put in my loadout is going to help.
@@Lekeing Yes the Mag 7 is good but its more expensive than Nova. I get more consistent kills with the Nova. I dip in and out of cover between pumps and I usually get 2-3 kills depending on the map and bomb site. The way I see it if I want a better shotgun I'll just use XM1014. Also another reason why I prefer Nova over Mag is you can shoot while reloading.
@zaktheghost3289 I do like that you can shoot and reload with the Nova. I pay a little more for the Mag cause it's more consistent for me, but if the Nova works for you, that's great. If I could get consistent multi kills with the Nova, I'd prefer it, too, lol. I still buy the xm a lot anyways cause it feels really powerful right now.
@@Lekeing Yeah they definitely need to nerf the XM1014. Insane range they just need to shorten the distance it can kill. Price and Damage should stay the same. I enjoy how insane it is but being on the receiving end is super annoying 🤣😤
I use MP7 on T sides, since it is better against kevlar, CTs usually force very often anyway. MP9 on ct side is very busted. Autoshotty feels good on close range. Tec9 is pretty good also u could even just play only Tec9 after winning pistol round as T, or if u loot it as CT.
I like using the mag 7 with no armour on eco rounds sometimes as if you miss or don't kill first bullet you're likely to die anyway and it's a money printer
Are the pump action shotguns still silent to other players when reloading in cs2? That was a fairly unknown advantage in csgo. That,. combined with being able to shoot before the reload is complete made them feel like having infinite ammo.
Was this your opinion or just the popular opinions from most people. I hope it was your opinion because its important we got thoughts from different perspectives instead of what the crowd thinks. I'm just suspecting this because the video seemed too formal.
This tier list was an L. You used d tier as the worst (needs to be an f tier) and you ranked nagev as the second worst. The amount of 4k's on banana and long doors I've gotten, and its ability to shut down rushes makes it one of the best weapons in the mid tier, even on higher ranks. Not to mention it's a laser beam when it gets accurate, you just need to know how to use it. Only bad thing is its speed, it's got a nearly completely accurate first bullet too.
The M249 would probably be better if it was reworked into basically a fat SG553 with no scope or something like that, completely ignores armor, can one tap at all ranges, tho it probably ain’t enough to offset the recoil and spread
On the topic of rebalancing mid tier guns because I feel like it, it would be funny if the MP7 was reworked into a P90 alternative instead of an MP5 alternative, both of them are PDWs after all.
@tangerinepaint3643 Yeah, funny enough, some pros actually keep the aug equipped because it can one shot headshot head armored players at roughly the same distance the Tec-9 can. It's still pretty close range, but at least it can!
imo only reason to have ump in ct loadout is for when you need 50$ which is rarely happen mp9 is better in everything and worth spending 50$ over ump if really need then prob just have someone go deagle instead ump on t kinda make sense for some medium range forced buy p90 is also more like full buy gun than eco or force buy gun, and more effective on ct than t ct gun is way expensive, most of time they can grab mac10 for gambling yolo rush and have same result as p90 if team is on eco it still have team drop mac10 while giving galil to them mac10 is pretty good for it's job t also don't need 50 ammo magazine size more often compare to ct p90 is pretty good on ct rushing strat, or stoping t rush as 50 ammo is more important for multikill when t stick together few more reason to buy p90 is when they want to go rushing and have way more money to spend (like already won a lot, or on losing streak where they have enough money for next round or half is about to end soon where they don't need to save) imo rushing strat is still gambling, mac10 rush is more rewarding as it's cheaper and net more when kill, negev should also be more than D tier it's pretty good to hold some spot to buy time for team rotate something like t holding banana, or ct holding door on dust2 even it's niche it still have use, after 15 bullet it's like laser beam, no one can walk pass here tbh usable on any 1 way entry mp5 is really weak for its price, its like jack of all trade but really weak compare to everything it have long reloading, silencer make gun too long and it's harder to hide in rat corner compare to other smg low damage, low rmp, hard to use in both tapping and bursting, also worst run and gun compare to other smg against unarmored , bizon is even than mp5 even it's weaker or like meme gun it do more damage, run faster, have 64 ammo magazine, better spray and better run and gun it not justified to put in loadout but it still way better than mp5 for their use, overall better than mp5 if predicted enemy going eco i have no idea about m7, it's pretty worth it price but as ct i always use mp9 mp7 should play more like rifle like as its move slower, but can still run and gun close range like mp9 t gun is also cheap, galil is just 300 more expensive than mp7 and look pretty worth upgrade as it's basically strong as ct m4 good gun for it price but pretty mid, might have some good use (unlike p90 that not really worth it price imo but strongest of its class) i found some niche gun worth to slot in loadout more than "mid gun" or something like jack of all trade if exclude must slot like mp9, mac10, xm, mag7 then each team have 2-3 free slot for loadout that could fill any niche weapon here mag7 is cracked xm is really strong gun but kinda costly, it's a kind of gambling when buying this nova worth it price and slot
I dont think I have even one ace on the negev, so that's pretty impressive! I used to buy it a lot in CSGO, but now that I don't have it equipped all the time, I hardly find myself missing it.
Yeah, I think the P90 is bad as a low buy/eco weapon, but it does have some pretty good stopping power. The only problem is that it's more expensive than the Galil or Famas, so it probably needs a price reduction or kill bonus buff to compete with it's alternatives.
@@Lekeing I'm Negev player, and the M249 is very different, but you can use some of the Negev tactics with it. The problem is that most people think it's bad because you get few kills, however if you use them to lay claim to parts of the map, it will force the enemy to rotate into bad positions. Just wish it had a bigger clip and more ammo, as I tend to run out of ammo on the Negev as well, and the M249 is like a clip short of the Negev
negev is usable if you are on ct side since you wont be moving that much and it is a B tier for dust 2 on ct side. throws smoke and spray.... but other than that. i dont see the real use of it. better use something like mac10 or mp9 and rush any awper and see how they rage when you kill em with running and jumping
Honestly, if the negev gave more money for kills or was cheaper, I'd probably use it more. It's just so hard to buy knowing that unless you get a lot of you're going to be losing money and also, probably unable to retake if they go to the other site.
I don't know about all that. It's got pretty similar stats to the MP7 and a suppressor that has niche advantages. I mostly just hate how bad the spray/running accuracy is
@@Lekeing lower, not only does the pp have more bullets but it also does 1 more damage than the mp5s. The only good thing mp5 is the silencer otherwise anybody who uses it is messing around or a noob
Yeah, none of the mid teir guns are ideal for rotating with. Ome thing that I think still redeems the Mag7 is that its great for exit fragging as well. If you can get to a spot that the T's are leaving the site through you can get a kill with a 900 dillar reward and steal their gun, while also not committing too much money into the purchase of the Mag7 . Try this in your games!

UMP use has declined a lot from the past, I think in part because, while its still not bad, it doesn't really offer any amazing quality that puts it apart from other smgs. It's not really worth the extra investment over a mac10 in 99% of situations.
If valve wanted to make UMP more of an option again, my suggestion would be to reduce damage drop off at range and increase armour penetration so you can use it to fight full buy opponents more effectively for little investment at long ranges, where the mac10 / mp9 dominate in close range just because of fire rate.
Yeah, I personally hope they find a way to make the Mp7 and Mp5 more viable. I always feel like I'm using a gimic when I get kills with the XM, but its so effective I just cant stop buying it
Been playing csgo for over 7 years now and i fully agree with this list
The bizon is really good if you're rushing points, for only 1400$ and with 64 rounds it's basically a budget Negev
I feel like the UMP is a heavily underrated SMG due to its damage at close range, if you hit your shots the armor pen shreds thru Kevlar
For sure, I feel like it's easier to kill people with the MP9 cause of the first rate being so high.
What i think about these guns:
-M249: never use it way too expensive for very little value
-Negev: Strong Eco weapon, only useful against rushes (prefered weapon if you know they rush a chokepoint which you smoked off)
-PP-Bizon: the best weapon for the run and gun playstyle except the p90, good if you are very close to enemies and have the surprise factor (peakers advantage)
-Sawed Off: strong weapon if ct's are pushing you at tight corners, but mostly not worth the money
-Mp5: i play mp5 like the pp-bizon, honestly better alternative to the pp-bizon, but probably not recommended to use often, because this playstyle is very reliant on the perfomance of the enemies (them making mistakes)
Mp7: i personally like mp5 more than the mp7, but honestly both are not that good.
nova: once my favourite shotgun, but now i switched to the xm1014, because the nova is much worse at stopping pushes.
p90: op weapon.
ump: i think it's the worst smg.
-mp9 / nova for close range.
-mp5 / mp7 for close - medium range
-m4 for medium - long range
-m4 / awp for long range... Why would you play ump long range?
--> ump has better alternatives for most ranges and many playstyles
-mac10: great cheap weapon
-upgrade to a better weapon when possible
-mag-7: very strong. Sometimes i prefer nova, sometimes xm1014; pretty much interchangebly
-xm1014: very op.
-mp9: broken true.
ump still good for T especially for mid range which mac10 can't
mp9 is broken af, making all smg obsolete on ct side
No reason to use PP over mac/mp9
@@Jitliung The ump can sometimes go toe to toe against CT rifles on medium distances (they are both head+body kills), but you have to headshot one of the first couple shots, otherwise you get rekt by accuracy and damage cap. I think that's why some people like it and some hate it. It could be really great value for force rounds, but it could also completely go to waste.
I will say the mp7 has a new place in my heart. I’ve been one magging 3 people consistently
I don't agree...we play a lot of time with negevs and bisons. They are both cheap for what they offer. The Negev is really good because once you started it you can be accurate with it and you can hold certain positions and stop the enemy to advance, the bison is good because it's fast and you can shoot it while rushing. I would put the sawed off and the ump45 under both the Negev and bison.
I totally overlooked the Mac 10 and MP9. I am going to try them out.
Mac 10 will steal you round. The MP9 will win you games.
If u hold a rush with negev thats gonna be satisfying
No jokes, when I want to win a game I pick up pp bizon to destroy everyone, I love that gun
You are alone my guy
Great video bro! I enjoyed it
Your sub count should be coming soon ! Best of luck brother
thank you man, I really appreciate it :)
we need a balance pass on the mid-tier. ever since they nerfed the UMP the Mac10/MP9 are just unbeatable. there's really no point in buying anything else except maybe the odd shotgun.
I totally agree
Great video, you just gained a subscriber!
thank you!
I feel like cs2 would be a lot more dynamic if they reworked the m249
I agree. A long time ago, the Negev used to cost 5700, but it was a fast firing laser with great burst accuracy. For some reason, they never buffed the m249 after they changed the negev, but I wish they would make the current m249 like the old Negev.
Deagle S tier, Galil A tier, MAC-10 + MAG-7 + CZ B tier, everything else is dumpster tier
For sure. Didn't rank the pistols or rifles in this video, but I agree with you.
Great video. However the audio is quiet for me. I'm not sure if it's me or the recording. I appreciate all the tips. I am new to CS and knowing which guns to put in my loadout is going to help.
I am sorry about the audio, and I am trying to make improvements in my future uploads. I'm happy you still enjoyed the video!
Thank you for the very informative video! I'm new to CS, but seeing this video helps a lot for me to try and understand the game!
I'm happy you liked it! Also, ur user name is great
@@Lekeing LOL, thanks. I like yours too
My mid tier loadout is Nova, MP9, MP7, Negev, and XM1014. Same on T side but instead of MP9 its Mac 10.
Okay, but have you at least TRIED using the Mag-7?
@@Lekeing Yes the Mag 7 is good but its more expensive than Nova. I get more consistent kills with the Nova. I dip in and out of cover between pumps and I usually get 2-3 kills depending on the map and bomb site. The way I see it if I want a better shotgun I'll just use XM1014. Also another reason why I prefer Nova over Mag is you can shoot while reloading.
@zaktheghost3289 I do like that you can shoot and reload with the Nova. I pay a little more for the Mag cause it's more consistent for me, but if the Nova works for you, that's great. If I could get consistent multi kills with the Nova, I'd prefer it, too, lol. I still buy the xm a lot anyways cause it feels really powerful right now.
@@Lekeing Yeah they definitely need to nerf the XM1014. Insane range they just need to shorten the distance it can kill. Price and Damage should stay the same. I enjoy how insane it is but being on the receiving end is super annoying 🤣😤
@@ZakKypto The mag 7 has really good jumping accuracy, so you can abuse certain positions like van on mirage with it.
You missed one thing about the mp9, it's also broken on long range.
really good video, sometime nova can get kill for long range and 3 hit no kill in close range
Some times its a sniper, and sometimes it shoots blanks.
would love to see a pistol and rifle ranking video. good job man! 👍
you just posted a pistol one💀
I could read your mind lmao
I use MP7 on T sides, since it is better against kevlar, CTs usually force very often anyway. MP9 on ct side is very busted. Autoshotty feels good on close range. Tec9 is pretty good also u could even just play only Tec9 after winning pistol round as T, or if u loot it as CT.
negev is not d :(
Search your feelings, you know this to be true.
@@Lekeingare you high?
@@Nothing_happening_here_go_away Star Wars reference.
Dope video, keep it going! You should do the same with the other weapon categories
I just posted one for pistols 👍🏻
I like using the mag 7 with no armour on eco rounds sometimes as if you miss or don't kill first bullet you're likely to die anyway and it's a money printer
This guy gets it! Mag7 is so good for its price and kill reward.
The worst thing about this game is that I can’t put a Negev in every slot
So true man. In Negev we trust.
mp9 is giving my valorant Stinger flashbacks
pretty much, but i think its easier to use than the stinger
mp9 is either me lazering kids with it back to back headshots or i shoot them for like 60 in 5 lol
Are the pump action shotguns still silent to other players when reloading in cs2? That was a fairly unknown advantage in csgo. That,. combined with being able to shoot before the reload is complete made them feel like having infinite ammo.
no idea, but being able to at all times without being vulnerable is nice.
Good video👍
the problem with this video is that you probably tested every gun in deathmatch
I tested every gun by getting to 24k premier
Mp5 is worse than the bizon
I don't know if I'd go that far, but maybe you're onto something
Was this your opinion or just the popular opinions from most people. I hope it was your opinion because its important we got thoughts from different perspectives instead of what the crowd thinks. I'm just suspecting this because the video seemed too formal.
It was my opinion, I just wanted to be formal.
This tier list was an L. You used d tier as the worst (needs to be an f tier) and you ranked nagev as the second worst. The amount of 4k's on banana and long doors I've gotten, and its ability to shut down rushes makes it one of the best weapons in the mid tier, even on higher ranks. Not to mention it's a laser beam when it gets accurate, you just need to know how to use it. Only bad thing is its speed, it's got a nearly completely accurate first bullet too.
Brother, what the flip are you talking about.
@@Lekeing F tier: sawed off, m249. D tier: MP5, UMP. C Tier: MP7, pp bizon, P90. B Tier: Nova, Nagev, MAG-7. A Tier: MAC-10, Auto shotty S Tier: MP9
btw negev is S tier bro one and only goat weapon
Oh yeah, definitely. I only rated it low to fool noobs into not using it. Negev = OP!
12:35 might not be actually. If it has a slug as to a buck shot, it will have a good damage at range
it is also buckshot 👍🏻
Negev slander will not be tolerated
There are a lot of Negev defenders in these comments, I definitely shook the hive
How can you put negev in D, it is actually S tier
Thanks for the video, but audio is a bit quiet.
I am making it louder in follow-up videos, sorry!
The M249 would probably be better if it was reworked into basically a fat SG553 with no scope or something like that, completely ignores armor, can one tap at all ranges, tho it probably ain’t enough to offset the recoil and spread
it would at least justify the price and give it some reason to be bought.
On the topic of rebalancing mid tier guns because I feel like it, it would be funny if the MP7 was reworked into a P90 alternative instead of an MP5 alternative, both of them are PDWs after all.
@@Lekeing Hell, the dream of the CTs getting their own one tap rifle would kinda be fufilled, but at a price premium
@tangerinepaint3643 If I could change the prices I would swap the MP9 price and the Mp7 price since the MP9 is better.
@tangerinepaint3643 Yeah, funny enough, some pros actually keep the aug equipped because it can one shot headshot head armored players at roughly the same distance the Tec-9 can. It's still pretty close range, but at least it can!
imo only reason to have ump in ct loadout is for when you need 50$ which is rarely happen
mp9 is better in everything and worth spending 50$ over ump
if really need then prob just have someone go deagle instead
ump on t kinda make sense for some medium range forced buy
p90 is also more like full buy gun than eco or force buy gun, and more effective on ct than t
ct gun is way expensive, most of time they can grab mac10 for gambling yolo rush and have same result as p90
if team is on eco it still have team drop mac10 while giving galil to them
mac10 is pretty good for it's job t also don't need 50 ammo magazine size more often compare to ct
p90 is pretty good on ct rushing strat, or stoping t rush as 50 ammo is more important for multikill when t stick together
few more reason to buy p90 is when they want to go rushing and have way more money to spend
(like already won a lot, or on losing streak where they have enough money for next round or half is about to end soon where they don't need to save)
imo rushing strat is still gambling, mac10 rush is more rewarding as it's cheaper and net more when kill,
negev should also be more than D tier
it's pretty good to hold some spot to buy time for team rotate
something like t holding banana, or ct holding door on dust2
even it's niche it still have use, after 15 bullet it's like laser beam, no one can walk pass here tbh
usable on any 1 way entry
mp5 is really weak for its price, its like jack of all trade but really weak compare to everything
it have long reloading, silencer make gun too long and it's harder to hide in rat corner compare to other smg
low damage, low rmp, hard to use in both tapping and bursting, also worst run and gun compare to other smg
against unarmored , bizon is even than mp5 even it's weaker or like meme gun
it do more damage, run faster, have 64 ammo magazine, better spray and better run and gun
it not justified to put in loadout but it still way better than mp5 for their use,
overall better than mp5 if predicted enemy going eco
i have no idea about m7, it's pretty worth it price but as ct i always use mp9
mp7 should play more like rifle like as its move slower, but can still run and gun close range like mp9
t gun is also cheap, galil is just 300 more expensive than mp7 and look pretty worth upgrade as it's basically strong as ct m4
good gun for it price but pretty mid, might have some good use
(unlike p90 that not really worth it price imo but strongest of its class)
i found some niche gun worth to slot in loadout more than "mid gun" or something like jack of all trade
if exclude must slot like mp9, mac10, xm, mag7 then each team have 2-3 free slot for loadout that could fill any niche weapon here
mag7 is cracked
xm is really strong gun but kinda costly, it's a kind of gambling when buying this
nova worth it price and slot
Respectfully sir, you are entirely wrong about the negev.
That's what everyone is saying. Maybe I will make a video going Negev only in matchmaking to see what this is all about
hey man negev ia actualy goated i have multiple aces with this gun reconsider your rating
I dont think I have even one ace on the negev, so that's pretty impressive! I used to buy it a lot in CSGO, but now that I don't have it equipped all the time, I hardly find myself missing it.
What's your rank? Definitely gotten some really silly aces on the silver/gold nova range. Doesn't usually work on high ranks.

@@exmachina2600 Auto shotgun + Office Hallways = Massacre lol
P90 is worse imo than mp5/7. Def bottom 3 weapons, due to 300$ kills and 2350 price makes it a terrible choice, always
Yeah, I think the P90 is bad as a low buy/eco weapon, but it does have some pretty good stopping power. The only problem is that it's more expensive than the Galil or Famas, so it probably needs a price reduction or kill bonus buff to compete with it's alternatives.
I really wish you wouldn't have added the music because it was incredibly difficult to hear you. Your voice is very quiet
Yeah, I am sorry about that. I have tried to balance the audio better im the videos I made after this one.
Bruh, just because you can't play m249, it's not cool throw shade on it like that. It's not a noob weapon
Okay, there are a lot of people defending the Negev, but you might be the first person here to defend the M249
@@Lekeing I'm Negev player, and the M249 is very different, but you can use some of the Negev tactics with it. The problem is that most people think it's bad because you get few kills, however if you use them to lay claim to parts of the map, it will force the enemy to rotate into bad positions. Just wish it had a bigger clip and more ammo, as I tend to run out of ammo on the Negev as well, and the M249 is like a clip short of the Negev
negev is usable if you are on ct side since you wont be moving that much and it is a B tier for dust 2 on ct side. throws smoke and spray.... but other than that. i dont see the real use of it. better use something like mac10 or mp9 and rush any awper and see how they rage when you kill em with running and jumping
Honestly, if the negev gave more money for kills or was cheaper, I'd probably use it more. It's just so hard to buy knowing that unless you get a lot of you're going to be losing money and also, probably unable to retake if they go to the other site.
holy moly
Tf is the mp5 doing anywhere above D? It's probably the worst gun in the entire game, bar the m249
I don't know about all that. It's got pretty similar stats to the MP7 and a suppressor that has niche advantages. I mostly just hate how bad the spray/running accuracy is
P90 absolutely slaps.
The furst gun I ever learned to use!
Not sure i agree with all of that tbh but fair enough
they nerfed bison or what? I remember many years back I played with it a lot and had plenty of kills
maybe a long time ago? I cant really remember, but nowadays it wont hurt people who have head armor on.
honestly i get more aces with the mp-9 then with a rifle lmaoo
In asia server we are infected with countless brainless bizon and mp5
Lol, you guys must know something we don't
Don't sleep on SMGs/Shotty in CS2.
Now with peeker's advantage and MR12 you can pose a real threat to Rifles.
Especially the peekers' advantage. Atound 50 ping enemies are saying I'm killing them as I start appear on their screen.

That's right, the negev is "underpowered", are you listening valve? don't nerf the negev, it's actually really bad, trust me. ;)
I would be blown away if they could make the negev any worse

@@Lekeing lower, not only does the pp have more bullets but it also does 1 more damage than the mp5s. The only good thing mp5 is the silencer otherwise anybody who uses it is messing around or a noob
Link your crosshair tho I wanna try it ❤
Mag7 isnt s tier. Its bad to rotate with.
Yeah, none of the mid teir guns are ideal for rotating with. Ome thing that I think still redeems the Mag7 is that its great for exit fragging as well. If you can get to a spot that the T's are leaving the site through you can get a kill with a 900 dillar reward and steal their gun, while also not committing too much money into the purchase of the Mag7 . Try this in your games!
