Counter-Strike: Global Offensive – How To Level Up By Killing Specific People In Arms Race

counter-strike-global-offensive

Arms Race in Counter-Strike Go – is a certain game type in which you kill players on the opposite team to cycle through your weapons to reach the golden knife and win the game.

Every 2 kills, cycles a weapon to the next.

Every Knife kill automatically cycles your weapon to the next.

But I've noticed that when you killing certain enemies it sometimes cycles your weapon automatically. How exactly does this happen? Is it a head shot or a specific weapon you use or what?

Thanks

You are correct in the two ways you've mentioned on how to level up, your question arises from missing the third way to level up.

The three ways to level up in Arms Race are:

  • Get 2 kills with a weapon
  • Get a knife kill
  • Kill the enemy leader

So the certain people would have been the enemy leader, which would level you up to the next weapon with a single kill on your weapon.

The Team Leaders can be easily seen in the mini scoreboard at the top of the hud:

The CT leader will have a blue border around their icon and similarly the T leader will have a yellow border.
