If I'm on CT side and I have to buy a pistol do I always want the 5-7 over the P250?

It's more expensive. But I love the extra shots.

Usually I'll save the money and buy P250 though.

If you're doing a force/half-buy with armor get a five-seven, if you just want a pistol to get a cheeky frag on an eco get the pee two fiddy

on T side a helmet + tec9 is a really good buy for rush strats or for working places with close angles (tuns on dust2 for instance)

Where do you aim with it? Slightly low? I seem to draw People-Shaped outlines around enemies with it.

I'll buy the p250 if I just want a 1 shot hs pistol to hold short angles, but if I'm actually going for any kind of forced pistol buy with a plan I'll try to get the 5/7- the bullets seem less random and you get so many more of them.

It's a bit tricky, you have to press 3 and mash right-click while closing the distance; once you master it it works everytime.

Is there really much reason to buy a helmet if you're short on money/know the enemy team is full buying? Seeing as almost all primary rifles and many pistols are 1 hit headshot kills even with armor, it seems like a waste.

The AK and SG are the only automatic rifles with 1hk potential. A helmet will save you from a dink against CT rifles at moderate ranges.

So if you're a CT you can skip the helmet if you know the Ts are full-bought and you're strapped for cash. You should still buy a helmet if you can afford it though because it'll still save you against pistols should it come to that.

Only T side rifles are 1 shot hs across all ranges, so you can get away with it easier if you're a CT, but dying to a single headshot when a hat could have saved you is really dumb and unnecessary, especially considering that all the 1shot hs pistols except the deag have reduced damage at range

Buy a helmet vs CTs or if they saved things that don't one hit headshot

Don't buy a helmet against full AKs and AWPs or if you're super poor or something

I'm pretty sure neither the m4 or famas one shot, even at point blank. Isn't that part of the reason that everyone was crying about the CZ when it originally came out? That it was better to hold a close angle with a CZ than an m4?

More questions: if you're running forwards and then need to shoot do you want to press backwards first? Does it work like counter strafing?

yes, but I believe most people crouch. I start to strafe when Im caught by surprise and then counter strafe as normal.

its actually way more important to slow down your shots at moderate range with the tec9 than other pistols. while the p250 has more recoil, both it and the five seven are much more predictable than the tec9.

I sometimes crouch with the glock or ak for tapping accuracy if im fighting from a pit to goose type distance. Makes a hell of a difference to the glock, tap tap tap.

tbh i rarely ever glock people cause at that point i might as well throw gypsy cursed rubber bands at their face. when i notice i go low on ammo i take cover and reload the ak and i imagine most ppl do the same. glock is desperation time (i somehow managed to glock a guy from 100 health to 0 on a match today)

ESEA has been bribing the EU pros lately (probably because of the success of faceit). The pro division player with the most pug wins each month gets $5k and the top ten players a bit less than that ($20k total bribe money each month), so they have decent incentive to play pugs right now.
