Closing thoughts

As the free starting pistol for the Terrorist team, it is the worst pistol in the game and performs considerably poorer than the Counter-Terrorist equivalents; because of this it could be argued that upgrading your pistol is more appealing on the Terrorist team, but most players will still opt to instead spend their money on utility grenades or armour.

The pistol does support an alternate burst mode, which will fire 3 bullets in quick succession, but this is often hard to control and most players see more consistent results without this.

The Tec-9 does high damage even through armour, but its real advantage is its fantastic first shot accuracy while moving or jumping. This allows a Terrorist player to power onto a bomb site while tapping at enemies.
