AWP
The AWP is Counter-Strike's iconic sniper rifle — a one-shot kill to the body that is expensive but match-defining. A dedicated AWPer is a core role on most CS teams.
AWP — definition
The AWP is the iconic sniper rifle in Counter-Strike 2 — a one-shot kill to the body that can hold an angle or win a round on its own. It is expensive, so buying it is an economic commitment, and a missed shot leaves you vulnerable at close range.
Most teams have a dedicated AWPer whose job is to anchor key positions and trade picks. Malaysia's best-known CS export, kaze, made his name as an AWPer on the international circuit.
