The Dual Berettas in Counter-Strike are based on the Beretta 92 series, specifically the Beretta 92G Elite II, which appeared in earlier versions like Condition Zero and Source. In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, their design was slightly updated to resemble the Beretta M9A1, featuring inox steel and wooden grip panels.

Previously, these pistols were exclusive to the Terrorist side, while the Counter-Terrorists had the Five-seveN as their equivalent. With the introduction of CS
, the Dual Berettas became available to both teams, with their price reduced from $800 to $300. This change opened up new strategic options for pistol rounds and eco buys.
In-Game Mechanics and Statistics
Damage and Hitbox Values
While the Dual Berettas may not deliver the highest damage compared to other pistols, they outperform some spawn pistols. Their high rate of fire compensates for lower per-shot damage, making them particularly effective in close-range encounters where players can overwhelm foes with a barrage of bullets.
Rate of Fire and Recoil
A significant advantage of the Dual Berettas is their impressive rate of fire. Players with quick reflexes can achieve a firing rate similar to submachine guns by clicking rapidly or binding firing actions to their mouse wheel. However, this fast firing comes with considerable recoil, making sustained accuracy challenging beyond close range.
Thus, the Dual Berettas are best suited for tight, chaotic situations where firing as many bullets as possible is more crucial than precision. Their large magazine size helps reduce the need for frequent reloads, but the lengthy reload time can leave players vulnerable if caught in the open.
