The AUG (Armee Universal Gewehr) is a Counter-Terrorist exclusive assault rifle in Counter-Strike, featuring a built-in scope for enhanced accuracy at medium range.

Key Features:

• Price: $3,500
• Damage: High (100 at point-blank)
• Rate of fire: 666 RPM
• Magazine capacity: 30 rounds
• Armor penetration: 70%
• Accurate range: 36m (scoped)

Advantages:

• Highest first-shot accuracy among assault rifles when scoped
• One-shot headshot kill at close range (even against helmets)
• 3x zoom scope with custom reticle
• Excellent accuracy while scoped

Disadvantages:

• Long reload time
• Higher price than M4
• Reduced movement speed while scoped
• Strong recoil when unscoped

Tactical Tips:

• Ideal for holding long angles and open sites
• Burst fire (1-3 shots) for best accuracy
• Reload strategically due to long reload time
• Use scope for medium to long-range engagements
• Avoid spraying unless at close range or while holding advantageous angles

The AUG serves as an excellent hybrid between assault rifle and sniper rifle, making it particularly effective for defenders holding long sightlines. Its higher price point is offset by superior accuracy and versatility, especially when used by players who master its scope mechanics.

Note: In CS:GO, the weapon is modeled after the modern Steyr AUG A3, featuring a Trijicon ACOG scope, whereas earlier versions used the Steyr AUG A1 model with a Swarovski scope.
