Miscellaneous
- Kevlar armor ($650) - Offers mild protection from bullets and grenades.
- Kevlar armor with helmet ($1000) - Offers slightly more protection for the head.
- Flashbang grenade ($200) - If you are near it or facing it, your screen will go white and sound will turn off for a short while. NOT recommended for new players as it is very easy to blind your own team accidentally. Max capacity 2.
- HE grenade ($300) - "Safety grenades" do about 50 hitpoints of damage at the point of explosion. Great for softening enemies, finishing off wounded or scaring ambushers. Great practice for new players, though they should only be used after you've shot your enemy a few times. When friendly-fire is off, the grenade can still injure or kill you if mis-thrown, but it won't injure your teammates. Max capacity 1.
- Smoke grenade ($200) - Creates distraction and cover near grenade. Max capacity 1.
- Defuse kit ($200) - Counter-terrorists only on de_ maps. Reduces time to defuse bombs.
- Night vision goggles ($1250) - Allows wearer to see in total darkness. Taking goggles on and off makes a distinct sound that your enemies can hear. In normal light, the goggles can make things difficult to see.
- Tactical Shield ($2200) - Counter-terrorists only. When deployed you are invulnerable to frontward attacks, but suffer a movement penalty and cannot shoot. When not deployed it hangs off to the side offering less protection, but allows you to shoot. This item can only be used with pistols.
The Arctic Warfare Magnum (AWM) is often referred to as the AWP. This is probably due to a misunderstanding in previous versions of the game, where it was called the Arctic Warfare/Police.
Each player also starts out with a combat knife; unlike the other weapons, the knife cannot be dropped. The knife has a fast, moderate-damage primary attack and a slow, high-damage secondary attack. The knife's secondary can kill most opponents with two stabs. Either knifemode does alot more damage when attacking an enemy in the back. Players are able to run faster with the knife at ready than with a gun out.
