Negev
The Negev is a powerful machine gun in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, designed after the real-life Negev manufactured in Israel since 1995. This formidable weapon is known for its exceptional high rate of fire and large magazine size, making it a beast at close-range combat. It can deal high damage quickly and is one of the few guns capable of securing a one-hit kill to the head, even when the opponent is wearing a helmet.
The Negev stands out for having the highest rate of fire in CSGO, yet its strengths come with some trade-offs. Users must manage the high recoil and get used to the low initial accuracy that improves dramatically when fired continuously due to its unique spraying pattern. Its high purchase price is also something to consider, making it a situational choice. Despite these shortcomings, the Negev's ability to lay down a wall of bullets gives it a suppressive role when locking down chokepoints or defending planted bombs.
For best results with the Negev, players should aim to control its recoil by firing in short, controlled bursts or by holding down the trigger to take advantage of the improved accuracy with prolonged fire. Positioning is also crucial; finding a good spot to mount your defense can maximize the Negev's effectiveness while minimizing the exposure to enemy fire. Whether you are providing cover fire for teammates or defending a site, the Negev can be a game-changer in the right hands.
