To counter snipers in CS:GO, it's all about outsmarting them. First, use smoke grenades to block their line of sight. This forces snipers to move or wait, giving you a chance to reposition. Flashbangs are also your friend; pop one around a corner to blind them momentarily, buying you time to take them out or cross to a safer spot. Always avoid peeking from common angles and predictable spots. Instead, try to flank snipers or use unconventional paths to catch them off guard. Remember, a sniper's biggest weakness is close combat, so if you can close the distance safely, you've got the upper hand!

Honestly, the best strat against snipers is to just avoid open areas where you know they're watching. Stick to tight corners and use utilities to your advantage. Sometimes not engaging is the best engagement.

Just rush 'em, lol. No, but seriously, sometimes the best way to deal with a pesky sniper is to overwhelm them. In CS:GO, snipers can get flustered if multiple players are charging at them from different angles. Sure, it's risky, but with proper coordination and some pre-fired shots, you might just take them down before they even realize what's happening.
