"Just keep playing for the opposite team": CS2 player missing an easy shot leads to hilarious reactions from community

In the world of CS2, even the most skilled players can occasionally fail, resulting in baffling and entertaining moments. In a strategic multiplayer shooter, a single mistake can not only cost an elimination or round win but the whole match. Likewise, a recent post by u/murtm1tch on the Counter-Strike 2 Subreddit showcased a mistake that left the community in splits.

The post has gained hundreds of upvotes and serves as a reminder that off days are universal. It shows a player missing all his shots at close range with the R8 revolver. To this, Redditor u/NenoINTJ joked that the person was actually playing for the enemy team.

"Nah, just keep playing for the opposite team."

Should I delete the game? byu/murtm1tch incs2

The post features a clip from a match played on the Mirage map. We get to see the player with an R8 Revolver — a high damage high recoil gun in the game. Hilariously, the player was only a few meters away from an opponent at the "Suicide" location on the A side but missed all their shots except the last one.

There were many sarcastic comments on the post. Redditor u/Ser_Hans congratulated the player for getting the kill, while u/Orion_Autumn insisted that they should switch to a more casual game like Minecraft.

However, some took a kinder approach and even gave tips on how to avoid such a mistake in the future. Redditor u/COYGODZILLA claimed that one should stop using the W key during combat. u/BOty_BOI2370 had a similar view and asked the OP to right-click with the R8 revolver at close range. Meanwhile, u/Justcameforhelp opined that the Desert Eagle was a better gun.

How to use the R8 Revolver in CS2

Inspecting R8 Revolver (Image via Valve)

The R8 Revolver was originally introduced in CS:GO on December 8, 2015, and is known for its unpredictable recoil and mechanics. Here are some tips to use in Counter-Strike 2:

• Only use the Primary Fire when you have the time to hold down the left mouse button completely. Releasing the left click early will result in inaccuracy.
• The Secondary Fire is suitable for close-range combat and can be used by using the right mouse button.
• It has a very limited amount of ammo, so don't spam it like a Glock-18. Instead, practice with it in Deathmatch or custom servers to learn the patterns.
• Do not move while using the R8 Revolver, it is worse than a Deagle in such situations.
