Explore Counter-Strike: Source loadout options after the August 2013 Arms Deal update, including weapon substitutions like USP-S for P2000.

The Arms Deal update, released in August 2013 for Counter-Strike: Source, introduced the ability for players to customize their loadout and purchase different weapons in-game. This allows you to opt out of a certain default gun and replace it with a different one, which is assigned to the same weapon slot and can be purchased in lieu of the old one. While none of the new weapons are considered straight upgrades to the default firearms, they encourage trying different playstyles and finding personal preferences.

Loadout Substitution Options:

  • USP-S for P2000
  • CZ75-Auto for Five-SeveN/Tec9
  • M4A1-S for M4A4
  • R8 Revolver for Desert Eagle
Tips
  • Experiment with these alternative weapons to discover new playstyles that suit you.
  • Consider how each substitution might change your approach to different combat scenarios.
