Along with several firearms you can purchase in Counter-Strike, there
is also an assortment of grenades, defensive equipment, and
mission-specific additions that both Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists
can purchase. As with firearms, equipment is bought at the beginning of
each round if you have the funds available from killing your enemies,
accomplishing objectives, and winning the round.

Bomb
(Terrorists)
Price: Free
Classification: Explosive
Maximum Capacity: 1
Description: The bomb is issued to a single Terrorist
player at the beginning of a round in any de_ map. The player must plant
the device at a specified location (one of two locations) in order to
accomplish the mission objective. The bomb can be dropped and pick up by
other Terrorist players, but cannot be carried by a Counter-Terrorist. |
 |
Flashbang
(Terrorists / Counter-Terrorists)
Price: $200
Classification: Diversionary Device
Maximum Capacity: 1
Description: The Flashbang grenade is a diversionary
device that temporarily blinds and deafens the enemy. This device is
best used in small corridors to distract the enemy long enough for the
player to reach cover and vanquish his or her foe. However, care should
be taken while throwing a Flashbang near friendlies and yourself, the
effects are the same on all players. |
 |
Defusal Kit
(Counter-Terrorists)
Price: $200
Classification: Tool Kit
Maximum Capacity: 1
Description: The Counter-Terrorists can purchase a Bomb
Defusal Kit in any de_ map to ensure a speedy defusal of the
terrorist-planted bomb. The kit cuts the time in half that it would
normally take the player to defuse the bomb, perhaps making the
difference between life and death. Kits from fallen Counter-Terrorists
can be picked up by other members of the same team. |

HE Grenade
(Terrorists / Counter-Terrorists)
Price: $300
Classification: Explosive
Maximum Capacity: 1
Description: The HE Grenade is a modern grenade used to
damage or kill unprotected enemies. The grenade is best used in small
spaces and rooms where the player is attempting to enter. Using the
grenade can cause serious damage to the enemy, giving the player a
better chance at survival and killing his or her foes. Take care to
ensure that yourself and no friendlies are within the blast radius. |
 |
Smoke Grenade
(Terrorists / Counter-Terrorists)
Price: $300
Classification: Diversionary Device
MaximumCapacity: 1
Description: The Smoke Grenade is a diversionary device
that creates a thick wall of smoke for a brief period of time. This can
be used to distract enemies or can be used to conceal movements,
specifically in large open areas with little cover. The smoke grenade
provides excellent cover when planting or defusing a bomb and escorting
hostages to safety. |

Kevlar
(Terrorists / Counter-Terrorists)
Price: $650
Classification: Ballistic Protection
Maximum Capacity: 1
Description: The Kevlar vest is the most inexpensive
form of personal protection in the game. The vest is automatically
attached to the player once purchased and adds an element of protection
from shots to the chest, but leaves the legs, arms, and head exposed.
The vest can take damage and become less useful if it has taken abuse
(being shot or taking explosive damage). |

|
Kevlar & Helmet
(Terrorists / Counter-Terrorists)
Price: $1000
Classification: Ballistic Protection
Maximum Capacity: Not Available
Description: The Kevlar vest and helmet is comparable
to the Kevlar vest, but offers protection to the head as well. The vest
is automatically attached to the player once purchased and adds an
element of protection from shots to the chest and head, but leaves the
legs and arms exposed. The vest can take damage and become less useful
if it has taken abuse (being shot or taking explosive damage). |
 |
Night Vision
(Counter-Terrorists)
Price: $1250
Classification: Sight Assistance
Maximum Capacity: 1
Description: The Night Vision Goggles is a device that
goes over the players eye and assists him or her in seeing while in a
low-light situation. Night Vision can often give the player an advantage
in night combat, allowing enemy movements to be spotted more easily.
This tool should only be used in dark areas as it will cause a very
blinding effect if used in daylight and well-lit rooms. |
 |
Tactical Shield
(Counter-Terrorists)
Price: $2200
Classification: Ballistic Protection
Maximum Capacity: 1
Description: The Tactical Shield offers the best
ballistic protection in the game and is virtually impenetrable. The
disadvantage to the shield, however, is that only a pistol can be used,
and it leaves the players back completely exposed to enemy fire. The
shield is best used in urban situations with another player providing
cover (or vice-versa). |
