CZ75-Auto

Learn how to effectively use the CZ75-Auto in Counter-Strike: Source. Discover its strengths, weaknesses, and historical changes to dominate close-quarters combat.

Alright, let's talk about the CZ75-Auto. If you're looking for a pistol that absolutely shreds in close-quarters combat (CQB), this is it. It's got a super low accuracy when you're trying to hit anything far away, but when an armored enemy is right in your face, this thing is a beast. Just be super careful with your ammo – it runs out FAST if you're just holding down the trigger. Seriously, don't try to spray this thing from a distance; its recoil control and effective range just aren't built for that.

Even though Valve has tweaked it a bunch over the years, the CZ75-Auto is still a really notorious and dangerous weapon when things get up close and personal.

A Little History:

You might be wondering how this pistol got nerfed so much. Well, here's a quick rundown:

• Way back before ESL One Cologne 2014, the CZ75 was actually a cheaper alternative to the P250, costing only $300. After that tournament, its price jumped to $500, and it became the go-to replacement for the Five-SeveN and Tec-9.
• Then, just before Operation Vanguard started in November, they changed the ammo from 12/12 to 8/16, made the animation for pulling it out longer, and slashed the kill reward from the usual $300 down to $100.
• But wait, there's more! When the Chroma Case dropped (yeah, the one with all the cool knife skins), they bumped the ammo back up to 12/12. The kill reward, though? It's still stuck at a lower rate.
