CZ75-Auto

The CZ75-Auto stands as the sole fully automatic machine pistol in Counter-Strike 2, representing an extreme design philosophy centered around point-blank ambushes and weapon theft. Manufactured in the Czech Republic by Česká zbrojovka, the CZ75-Auto was engineered to give an operator the instantaneous burst damage of an assault rifle in a compact secondary form factor. Available to both Counter-Terrorists and Terrorists as an alternative loadout choice in the $500 pistol slot, the CZ75-Auto operates as a high-stakes tactical instrument: possessing devastating lethal speed balanced by severe operational handicaps. From a ballistic standpoint, the CZ75-Auto discharges 9mm rounds at an astonishing 600 rounds per minute—matching the cyclic rate of the AK-47 and M4A1-S. Each round delivers 31 base damage paired with a 77.65 percent armor penetration rating. At point-blank range, a four-round automatic burst directed at an armored enemy torso and head will eliminate them in approximately 300 milliseconds. However, the weapon capacity is strictly constrained: the magazine holds just 12 rounds, with only one single backup magazine of 12 rounds in reserve (giving a total combat load of 24 bullets). A single extended trigger pull can empty the entire magazine in just 1.2 seconds. The handling characteristics of the CZ75-Auto reflect its specialized role. The weapon features a deliberate, extended draw animation clocking in at 2.73 seconds—the slowest equip time of any sidearm in the game. This intentional design prevents snipers from quick-drawing the pistol as a reactive panic button when rushed by enemies. Furthermore, the kill award is penalized to a meager $100 (one-third of the standard $300 pistol award), emphasizing that the primary objective when fielding a CZ75-Auto is not economic farming, but rather eliminating an enemy rifler at close range and immediately stealing their dropped primary weapon. In competitive strategy, the CZ75-Auto is the definitive "ambush pistol." Teams utilize it by placing an armored player in tight, tucked-in corners such as Inferno Sandbags, Mirage Underpass, or Overpass Connector. When an unsuspecting enemy walks past, the CZ user emerges, empties a rapid 12-round burst directly into their back, immediately picks up their rifle, and retreats to safety. When executed properly, this "CZ trade" transforms a $500 pistol buy into a $3,000 rifle acquisition, completely dismantling the opponent economic advantage. The weapon holds a legendary place in Counter-Strike competitive history. During the historic "CZ-75 Era" of 2014, players like Jesper "JW" Wecksell and French master Richard "shox" Papillon routinely terrorized full-buy teams, using the pocket automatic to out-duel primary rifles across all distances. Even after subsequent balancing passes reduced its kill reward, ammunition, and draw speed, clutch specialists like Justin "jks" Savage and Håvard "rain" Nygaard have produced world-class highlight reels by dismantling enemy pushes with surgical CZ bursts. In the skin collection community, the CZ75-Auto features numerous vibrant and prestigious designs. The CZ75-Auto Victoria from the CS:GO Weapon Case 3 features ornate 19th-century royal engraving, while the vibrant Xiangliu showcases traditional Chinese dragon artistry. Other celebrated finishes include the sleek Yellow Jacket, the radioactive Emerald from the Chop Shop Collection, the clean Tread Plate, and the sci-fi The Fuschia Is Now. The CZ75-Auto remains the ultimate high-risk, high-reward ambush weapon in Counter-Strike 2.
