All wrong, sacrifice the 200 flash for the extra 200 for a five seven / tec 9

real dilemma
Apr 12, 2007
I hate buying p250 on pistol rounds because it's only giving you an advantage if your opponents are all armored and you're popping body shots. I think it's pretty rare that p250 is the optimal pistol buy...occasionally I'll buy a five-seven/tec and a nade if I'm playing a position that can really take advantage of the spam ability of those guns. Otherwise default pistols all the way. Buy a deagle only if you're a true sociopath, or niKo.

smoke/flash/HE because no one else will buy utility, 99% of the time this is what I buy T-side.

CT 70% of the time I'll buy smoke/flash/HE, the rest is just straight kevlar, depends on the map, like dust2 if I'm the b player I'll take the nade stack because I can stop a rush cold and get a kill or 2 while the mid player rotates up to assist.

CT: Kit + Smoke + Flash
Sit back and pop heads. Use nades as nessisary. Bonus points if I can use the smoke to ninja.

T: Kevlar or smoke+2 flashes

I only get grenades t side if we have a plan as a team, ct buy depends more on where I'm playing than anything else. Long range = Kevlar to fight aim punch from glocks.

T: Should be smoke + flash + p250 or Kevlar. Don't see any reason for having a second flash and leaving 100 unspent.

At Nova 1, everyone always seems to just buy a tec-9/five-seven or armor, so I usually act as support and buy flash/he/smoke, regardless of side.

This doesn't get any better, hence why I usually buy the support stuff.

T side I buy grenades if the rest of my team has insta spammed Kevlar+decoy because that smoke grenade+ flashes really help against a team of USP/p2k. Else i buy Kevlar. CT I just buy armour or kit+p250 because literally no T Glock train is going to give a poo poo about smokes or flashes.

Why do people ever buy decoys? All they ever do is throw them mid or in spawn.

I'd happily buy grenades for a pistol if anyone ever said anything plan like an I thought they would give me a chance to throw them but that rarely happens so its pretty much kevlar for me.

I beg to differ, I have stopped many a t glock paintrains with a smoke/flash combo followed up with some p2k headshots. I'm not saying that you are going to stop every rush all the time blah blah and perhaps it just works because I'm in the MGE/DMG/LE area, but I've got a fairly decent success rate with it.

Tapping while stationary is actually surprisingly accurate. Granted, this isn't really ever a good idea in game because you're just fodder for USPs, but still.

Yeah, probably, but pistol rounds are so random anyway that I reckon you can make anything work as long as you hit your headshots.

That being said, please don't ever stand still on the pistol round lol.

I use it to make the enemy mistime for AWP duels. When you throw it the other guy sometimes thinks they have a window to peek when you haven't done poo poo.

Works at LE/LEM level. You'd be surprised how often.

sometimes they die before throwing it so you can pick it up to fake a flashbang and hope the guy turns away

This is what pistols are for. I've won a stupid amount of fights simply because I jiggle peeked behind cover, tossed my pistol and shot him in the back as he turned.
