Awp guide
Difficulty: Intermediate
Category: CS:S > Strategies & TacticsAuthor(s): makrilen

Hello everyone! I've seen alot of noob awpers in CS:S and i've decided to make a guide to give you a piece to learn from.




1-Basic awping

Known in Counter-Strike as the 'AWP' the magnum sniper rifle is a deadly weapon with it's high powered shots it will kill any one in 1 single shot, counting away extremities like getting a hit in their feet or if you're 120+ meters away.
The AWP does require a high level of skill when using it in a attacking role & when under pressure. The smart way of using the AWP would be to offer support and cover for your team, camping at key parts through out the map and picking off targets.
You should also bring a pretty good sidearm to pick up guys who get close.
To make sure noone sneaks up behind your back it would be a good idea to lissen to your sound.Position yourself out of danger don't go running into the open unless you know it's clear.






2-Aiming with the awp

Finally the aim, never take a shot when moving you wont hit a thing that way. You must remain still when taking a shot and it's better to take some damage and getting the shot off right than if you keep moving to reduce damage and no hit anything.
A good tip with taking a shot is to jump out and as you are flying through the air line up your crosshair, zoom in, when you land go into complete duct mode and then take shot. All happens within seconds but you'll get use to it in time. One rule when going head to head with another AWP player. If he sees you never and I mean never return to the same spot or pop your head slowly around the same corner. You would be better off jumping out and taking the shot as chances are the other player is marking the corner ready to pop you one

3-Flicking shots


What you want to do is flick your mouse fast and hit the button when your crosshair is on top of the enemy.
This flick shouldn't be so fast to where you can't be accurate.
Its a speed you will need to test to be the fastest you can but still be accurate.
You don't have to stop on top of the enemy you can run your crosshair across and when you see the connection in that really small window of time press the button. Remember that with moving players the hit box is in front of them not right on the target.

Thats about it. Hope this helped you a bit.

Btw, you can survive the awp hit, you get shot to 15 health though.

Well actually you can move around and still get the shot but you really have to be skilled with the awp enough to do so.

Hmm.. It is a ok guide, but you write that the awp will kill any one in 1 shot, and that is not right! If you a very long a way from the target+ you hit something like the feets, it won't kill in first shot.

umm. he said in the tut that if u r far away u will not kill them AND if you shoot them in the foot....

That wasn't wrote before i posted my post... :P

This could use HTML.

Also the AWP isn't 1 hit kill, if you hit them in the foot (or other extremities) it does 80-90 damage.

SCOUT IS T3H BEST!!1

Play in CAL and use the scout, you'll get your ass owned.
I think this tutorial should have HTML, and it could use a little more. Maybe note the fact that you'd be best off with a deagle over almost any pistol.
