Question 1

How does the CS2 weapon compare tool work?

Accepted Answer

Click "Compare" on any weapon card or detail page to add it to the pool (up to 3), then open this page for a side-by-side view of price, RPM, magazine, per-range damage, DPS and headshot TTK. You can also search and add weapons here.

Question 2

What convention do DPS and TTK follow?

Accepted Answer

DPS = first-band body damage × shots per second (shotguns assume all pellets). TTK is the no-armor body time at each weapon's default engagement range (AK 25m, AWP 50m...): (shots-to-kill − 1) × 60000 ÷ RPM. Lower is faster.

Question 3

Can I share a comparison with my team?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the URL encodes the selected weapons via ?ids=. Send the link and everyone sees the same table.

Question 4

Does the comparison factor in armor?

Accepted Answer

This table is the no-armor view for fast side-by-side decisions. For exact shots-to-kill against kevlar and helmet, use each weapon page's TTK panel or the calculator, which resolve per-weapon armor penetration.

Question 5

AK-47 or M4A4?

Accepted Answer

The AK-47 (T) one-taps a helmeted head at any range for $2,700; the M4A4 (CT) is more controllable with a longer effective range. Add both here and decide with the per-range tables and price gap.
