Rifler
"Rifler" is a broad label. Inside it, players have more specific roles:
- the entry, who takes the first fight on the T side;
- the support, who throws grenades for others;
- the lurker, who plays alone away from the team;
- the anchor, who holds a site on the CT side.
The best riflers are often called star riflers: players who carry the team's kills with rifles, the way an AWPer does with the sniper.
Rifles cost $2,700 to $3,000, so riflers depend on the team's economy. On low-money rounds they play with pistols or SMGs instead.
