Dominate the Terrorist pistol round in Counter-Strike. Master buys like the P250 and utility usage to secure an economic advantage for your team in early rounds.

The first round is crucial as it dictates the economy for the next few rounds. As a Terrorist, you start with $800. Common buys include a P250 or Five-SeveN (for armor penetration) and a Smoke Grenade or Flashbang. Coordinate with your team: will you rush a site, or try to get picks? A successful pistol round win gives your team a significant economic advantage, allowing for full rifle buys in subsequent rounds. Focus on headshots with pistols and using utility to blind or block enemy vision during your push. Don't overextend without support.
