Glock-18 — CS2 Damage Breakdown
Per-hitbox damage, armour penetration and shots-to-kill for the Glock-18 in Counter-Strike 2. Want a custom range or armour state? Use the calculator.
Below are the commonly-cited damage figures for the Glock-18 against an unarmoured target at close range. For a specific distance, hitbox and Kevlar state, run the numbers in the CS2 damage calculator.
Base damage
The Glock-18 deals a base of 28 damage to an unarmoured chest at point-blank range. Every other hitbox scales from this number.
Hitbox multipliers & damage
| Hitbox | Multiplier | Damage (unarmoured) | Shots to kill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head | x4 | 112 | 1 |
| Chest / Arms | x1 | 28 | 4 |
| Stomach | x1.25 | 35 | 3 |
| Legs | x0.75 | 21 | 5 |
Shots-to-kill assumes a full 100 HP target and no armour. Against Kevlar, chest and stomach shots take more hits because some damage is absorbed.
Armour penetration
The Glock-18 retains roughly 47% of its damage against a Kevlar vest (community-derived figure). Higher penetration means the vest does less to save the target on body shots. The helmet, separately, is what cuts headshot damage.
The falloff caveat
These numbers are point-blank. Most weapons lose damage over distance, and the Glock-18 is modelled here with a simplified per-metre falloff rather than Valve's exact internal curve. Treat the figures as close guides for learning, not precise in-game guarantees — see CS2 damage falloff by distance for how range changes the maths.
