When to save vs. force buy?

Just played a game, and we totally threw the last round because we had no money left. Some of us force-bought earlier when we probably shouldn’t have, and by the final round, we were stuck with pistols against full rifles. So now I’m wondering—when is the right time to save, and when should we force buy?

Save when you can’t afford rifles + utility next round. Force buy if it’s the last round or if you need to break the enemy’s economy

Force buy when you want to feel broke for the rest of the game. Save when you actually want a chance to win the next round

If half your team is forcing and half is saving, congratulations—you just threw the round before it started

If you have $2k now but will have $4.7k next round, forcing is just throwing. It’s way better to get a proper rifle + utility than to run around with a Galil and no flashes

Easy rule—if you’re broke next round no matter what, just buy a shotgun and pray to the RNG gods
