About
Counter-Strike 2's arsenal, inside Crab Game. Crab Strike reads the weapons straight from your own Counter-Strike 2 install and turns them into real Crab Game items: CS2 models, textures, sounds, stats and recoil.
What you get
Every CS2 gun: all pistols, SMGs, shotguns, machine guns, rifles and snipers, with CS2's damage, fire rate, headshot multiplier, damage falloff, magazine and reserve ammo.
Four CS2 knives: Knife, Karambit, M9 Bayonet and Butterfly Knife.
Free CS2 buy menu: opens on your CS2 buy key, with CS2's own weapon pictures. Everything costs $0.
CS2 first person: CS2's arms hold every weapon and play its real CS2 draw, idle, shoot, reload and inspect animations (your CS2 inspect key). Butterfly flips included, with breathing, walk bob, sway and knife fidgets.
CS2 recoil and reloads: spray patterns built from each gun's CS2 recoil values, CS2 reload times and sounds, plus a mag/reserve ammo counter. Hold to fire.
Scopes: CS2 zoom levels, scoped accuracy and zoom sounds on the AWP, SSG 08, SCAR-20, G3SG1, AUG and SG 553.
CS2 crosshair: a new Crosshair tab in Crab Game's Settings (length, gap, thickness, outline, dot, colour), or one click to copy your own CS2 crosshair.
Aim practice in the lobby: CS2 agents stand as targets, shatter when you hit them and rebuild after 5 seconds, with CS2 hit and headshot sounds and a hits/headshots/accuracy counter.
Playing together
Host a Crab Game lobby and invite friends (up to 40 players). Everyone in the lobby needs Crab Strike; the host hands out what each player buys, so everyone sees everyone's CS2 weapons.
Good to know
Needs Crab Game and Counter-Strike 2 installed. Nothing from either game is included: your own copies are read on your PC. CS2 is never modified or started.
The first start reads your CS2 files once (a few minutes, shown on screen). After that it starts instantly.
